The flow guides were based on a warped gyroid lattice structure. Their geometry smoothly stirs the flow around the curved channels to eliminate spots with zero flow velocity. At the same time, it dramatically increases the contact area between the liquid and the aluminium heat sink.

The design of compact and efficient Heat Exchangers (HEX) using TPMS and gyroid lattice structures is one of the most prominent engineering applications of Additive Manufacturing today. In this nTop Live, Maiki Vlahinos, Senior Application Engineer at nTopology, goes through one of his latest heat exchanger designs with two fluid domains. He describes how he incorporated Ansys Discovery Live in his design process and presents the results of a characterization study that explo

One of the most important factors to influence design decisions during the process of development of medical devices is the time-to-market. Constraints in the conventional manufacturing processes have made the healthcare industry seek newer ways of developing customized, patient-specific implants. We have already seen additive manufacturing being widely used for medical applications like anatomical models, dentistry, prosthetics and much more. But what sets it apart fro
