| Summary: | <p>In this article, the lightweight design of a palletizing
manipulator arm structure is carried out. The optimization target is
designed in 3D with Solid Works. To determine the optimization area and the
secondary reconstruction model after the structure is optimized, the
reliability and cost of the design structure are also considered. The
meta-software performs mechanical performance simulation experiments under
the corresponding working conditions for the lightweight structural design
of the target structure via the topology optimization methods. Finally, with
additive manufacturing technology, the design and printing of the filled
skeletal Voronoi structure and the nested-external-removal Voronoi structure
of the palletizing manipulator arm are performed.</p> |
