The GE bracket challenge uses additive manufacturing as the basis for optimization and aims to achieve a design with the possible lightest weight. The optimized interfaces must withstand the load cases indicated in the application. With topology optimization augmented optimization, 88% of weight reduction was achieved in the simulation environment.

Explore the breakthrough of additive manufacturing through constant research & development projects.
Heat exchangers are crucial in many heat transfer applications, from cooling electronics to recuperating heat in industrial facilities. However, for many high-performance applications like modern computing, we have reached the limit of what is technically possible using traditional manufacturing methods in terms of heat exchanger efficiency or size. The design freedom brought upon by additive manufacturing technology has broken the design barriers and allows one to create more innovative designs and empowers them to optimize heat exchanger performance.
