Part Consolidation is a very big area that has come into focus since Additive Manufacturing has become an ever-growing industry with a lot of industrial applications. Through additive manufacturing the function integration can be easily realized in the manufacturing process and is well practised to reduce the number of parts, assembly & maintenance time and overall saving costs. The Part Consolidation is therefore a big area in the optimisation section and can be realized using generative design. To prepare a Design Space for these kinds of optimisations we identified a workflow as well as new geometry tools that support the user during the creation process.
