  • OPTIMISATION OF SUPPORTS FOR THE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF A COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20210008624
    Abstract: A method for producing, by additive manufacturing, a part including at least one surface that must be held during the manufacturing, the method including: a step of forming a raw part by additive manufacturing, the raw part including a support including a pillar and a head which is an alveolar element connecting the pillar to the surface to be held; and a step of detaching the support from the rest of the raw part.
