The "wirecutter" plugin for inkscape is a plugin to generate g-Code for a 2D wirecutter with a turning table. You can either draw one open path which is the path which the machine will cut or you can draw some closed paths. These closed paths (e.g. Letters) must be connected because the cutter cannot leave the raw material like a milling machine. The Plugin helps you to create these connectors. If you have a wirecutter with a turning table you can create multiple "cuts" for different positions of the turning table. ...

In the selective laser melting process (SLM), components are built up layer by layer by incremental melting of metal powder with a laser beam. This process leads to locally inhomogeneous material properties of the manufactured components. By integrating these specific material properties of the SLM-process into a topology optimization, product developers can be supported in the design process by simulation. For this purpose, a topology optimization method is being developed which takes into account the unique material properties of parts manufactured with the SLM-process. ...
