Topology Optimization for Architected Materials: James Guest1; 1Johns Hopkins University
Recent advancements in manufacturing have provided unprecedented opportunities to produce materials with precisely defined architectures. This has in turn has provided opportunities to achieve new combinations of material properties, and ultimately re-think the design of material structures as well as the components and structures in which they are used. The computational design tool of topology optimization is particularly well-suited to address this new design challenge. Topology optimization systematically adds/removes material from the design domain computationally, thereby enabling discovery of new, high performance structures. This freedom, however, may produce designs that are topologically complex, making them difficult and expensive to manufacture. This talk will discuss the use of topology optimization in the design of architected materials optimized for various properties, including mechanical, thermal, and fluidic, and discuss the integration of manufacturing considerations into the design process, ultimately leading to architected material designs that are both high performance and manufacturable.

Sustainable Fashion Design, 3D and 4D Printing, and The New Age Lab: Julia Daviy1; 1The New Age Lab
This presentation will highlight how Julia Daviy and The New Age Lab combine fashion design with engineering, science, sustainable production, and eco-friendly materials. Daviy creates each garment digitally using the innovative technology of 3D printing by zero-waste methods in large-format printers. Daviy’s New Age Lab is the first 3D-printed clothing manufacture model in the United States. Her first collection, The Liberation, was presented during NYFW 2018 and opened the door for wide-use of 3D printing in clothing production. It consisted of 8 pieces of clothing created on FDM 3D printers and one dress, created on SLA 3D printers. While studios are still very much in the experimental phase of bringing 4D printed designs to life, this presentation will also give perspectives on the potential impact and outstanding challenges.
