Abstract: However they allow, in principle, to assemble arbitrarily complex structures - thereby arousing much enthusiasm within the engineering community - modern additive manufacturing technologies (also referred to as 3d printing) raise new difficulties which have to be taken into account from the early stages of the construction, and notably at the level of the design optimization. In this presentation, we shall deal with the modeling and the understanding of two such major challenges related to additive construction methodologies. The first one of these is to avoid the emergence of overhanging regions during the shape optimization process, that is, of large, nearly horizontal regions hanging over void, without sufficient support from the lower structure. The second difficulty addressed in this presentation is related to the fact that the use of an additive technique to realize a structure entails a significant alteration of the mechanical performance of the constituent material of the assembled shape: this material turns out to be inhomogeneous, and it presents anisotropic properties, possibly depending on the global shape itself. These works have be conducted together with Grégoire Allaire, Rafael Estevez, Alexis Faure and Georgios Michailidis.
