      abstract = {Since Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques allow the  manufacture of complex-shaped structures the combination of  lightweight construction, topology optimization, and AM is  of significant interest. Besides the established continuum  topology optimization methods, less attention is paid to  algorithm-driven optimization based on linear optimization,  which can also be used for topology optimization of  truss-like structures. To overcome this shortcoming, we  combined linear optimization, Computer-Aided Design (CAD),  numerical shape optimization, and numerical simulation into  an algorithm-driven product design process for additively  manufactured truss-like structures. With our Ansys  SpaceClaim add-in construcTOR, which is capable of  obtaining ready-for-machine-interpretation CAD data of  truss-like structures out of raw mathematical optimization  data, the high performance of (heuristic-based)  optimization algorithms implemented in linear programming  software is now available to the CAD community. About the  author Christian Reintjes received a master's degree in  Industrial Engineering from University of Siegen in  Germany. Following on from that, he worked as a research  associate at the Institute of Technology Management where  he worked towards his PhD in Mechanical Engineering.  Currently, Christian works for SAP SE as an Expert in  Digital Manufacturing and is based out of Walldorf.},
