Dennis Bukenberger, TU Munich: Lightweight design structures reduce costs and the environmental footprint of resource-intensive industries my minimizing material use, thus lowering energy consumption during operation. In our paper, we present a 3D material deposition strategy, based on an stress-adaptive Voronoi diagram. Site density is increased in regions of higher stress and reduced in less critical areas. The result is an efficient distribution of the constrained material budget (in this example 50 % of the solid structure), ensuring optimal mechanical performance. For this illustration, we modified the Sponza scene, replacing all load-bearing structures on the ground floor with our custom stress-optimized 3D Voronoi design. The image was rendered using Blender.
