Abstract

This project aims to use the Voronoi technique to improve and optimize parts manufactured by 3D printing. The generated Voronoi Diagram will be incorporated into the design of the object to be manufactured by additive manufacturing. This integration will enable the creation of complex, optimized structures and production of highly adaptable and personalized objects, using information from the Voronoi Diagram to guide geometry and material distribution, improving object structure, reducing weight, while maintaining strength. and increasing the efficiency of the material used, using less quantity for printing and thus reducing manufacturing time. By combining the precision of the Voronoi algorithm with additive manufacturing capabilities, it is possible to create objects with innovative designs, complex structures and advanced customization, driving creativity and efficiency in the production of parts and products.
