We have a 1/4" plate that we’re going to pocket on our CNC router, so we need to come up with a lightening pattern. Now we could just do a basic vent pattern or some triangles, but the students care (a bit too much) about the robot’s looks so they came up with a few designs. I figured I’d share them here and see which one the public likes the best. (sorry for the bad quality screenshots)
Option 1:
Simply thinking about how load will travel through that part (tho I dont know its use case) it seems like 1 has the most efficient way for load from the od to the id to travel. However it seems like you might have gone a little heavy on the spokes.
I’ve always thought Autodesk Generative Designs (aka Design By AI) have looked pretty sweet. If they’re going to spend time etching out a circle, spending time plugging estimated loads and safety factors into the generative design AI would be pretty fun to show off to judges…
