abstract

A design optimization framework for process parameters of additive manufacturing based on finite element simulation is proposed. The finite element method uses a coupled thermomechanical model developed for fused deposition modeling from the authors' previous work. Both gradient-based and gradient-free optimization methods are proposed. The gradient-based approach, which solves a PDE-constrained optimization problem, requires sensitivities computed from the fully discretized finite element model. We show the derivation of the sensitivities and apply them in a projected gradient descent algorithm. For the gradient-free approach, we propose two distinct algorithms: a local search algorithm called the method of local variations and a Bayesian optimization algorithm using Gaussian processes. To illustrate the effectiveness and differences of the methods, we provide two-dimensional design optimization examples using all three proposed algorithms.
