Overview
Topology-optimized bracket forms prepared as a DfAM study.
This project explores the intersection of structural performance and manufacturing feasibility through four distinct TPMS lattice bracket designs. Each bracket was generated using computational design workflows, combining topology optimization with gyroid, diamond, and hybrid lattice infill strategies.
The designs were optimized for FDM 3D printing with PLA, targeting a functional shelf-mounting application that demonstrates how biologically inspired lattice structures can replace traditional solid brackets while reducing material usage by up to 40%.
