Research

The project began by studying the loading conditions, mounting interfaces and dimensional constraints of the stock triple clamp. Material properties and real-world stress points were analyzed to define boundary conditions and performance targets for the generative design process.

Design

Design

The design process included three key iterations: starting with a CAD model of the stock part, followed by a manually optimized version with reduced material and finally a generative design model based on defined constraints and load cases. Each step focused on improving strength-to-weight efficiency while preserving critical mounting geometry.

Development

Development

The final generative design was optimized for additive manufacturing due to its complex geometry, which could not be machined conventionally. Post-processing involved reinforcing the part with carbon fiber to enhance strength and stiffness, making it suitable for real-world performance conditions.
