In-progress grasshopper script detailing how current methods of structural analysis can be combined with topology optimisation to develop a working parametric algorithm, which can be applied to a variety of unique geometries to create an optimised infill structure for the printed object according to its structural necessity.Finite element analysis (FEA) and topology optimisation techniques will be explored in the context of developing a materially efficient infill pattern which performs structurally equal to or better than current infill patterns used by fused filament fabrication (FFF) printers
