Additive Manufacturing (AM) is widely used to manufacture complex and personalized medical components. However, the generation and manually removing of support structures in the pre- and post-processing stages are still time-consuming and costly. To improve the automation of preparation while reducing support structure volume, post-processing time and cost, this paper proposes a bio-inspired generative design method, integrating parametric L systems, evolutionary optimization and an AM processing simulation model, to generate light-weight, easy-to-remove and heat-diffusion-friendly biomimetic support structures. Dental components are modelled and manufactured for validating the proposed method. The results obtained are compared with that of existing commercial software tools.

用于增材制造 (AM) 中支撑结构生成和优化的仿生生成设计

增材制造 (AM) 广泛用于制造复杂和个性化的医疗组件。然而，在预处理和后处理阶段生成和手动移除支撑结构仍然耗时且成本高。为了提高制备的自动化程度，同时减少支撑结构体积、后处理时间和成本，本文提出了一种仿生生成设计方法，集成参数 L 系统、进化优化和 AM 加工仿真模型，以生成轻量级、易于移除且热扩散友好的仿生支撑结构。牙科组件被建模和制造以验证所提出的方法。将获得的结果与现有商业软件工具的结果进行比较。
