The article aims to increase the productivity of manufacturing the mechanism of the «Shaft-turning device». For this purpose, the authors of the article perform topological optimization of the housing of the «Shaft-Turning device» mechanism in the SolidEdge ST10 software package for further manufacturing it by the additive manufacturing method.
As a result of the study, the authors found that the use of topological optimization in the design of the housing of the «Shaft-turning device» allows you to save material, reduce the number of assembly units in the assembly and increase the production capacity of the «Shaft-turning device» as a whole, compared with the traditional manufacturing method.
