Abstract:

Additive manufacturing technologies; It includes methods based on the principle of manufacturing the part layer by layer until the final geometry is obtained according to the three-dimensional (3D) digital model data of the objects using plastic, ceramic and metal materials. Today by using this method can be manufactured in the art, building sector, medical, energy, automotive aviation and space industries, without the need for additional (assembly, welding, etc.) processes of very complex geometry products. Its use has increased gradually thanks to its advantages such as weight reduction (topology optimization) by creating porous and cavitied structures. Aluminum and aluminum alloys are highly preferred among the powder materials used in the additive manufacturing sector. In this study, parts manufactured by using additive manufacturing technologies and topology optimization methods of aluminum alloys used in the automotive, aerospace and aerospace industries are examined.
