In order to achieve the goal of saving material and lowering the cost,a scheme is proposed to quicklybuild and optimize improved skin-truss structure,which minimizes the volume of the printing objects under constrainedconditions including physical and mechanical properties,force balance,self-balance,and printability.Amesh simplification strategy is utilized to rapidly build exterior truss structure,which maintains topology similarityof the original mesh to avoid conflicts between truss and skin.A method based on experimental analysis is putforward to construct interior truss structure without interior nodes,which not only can significantly shorten theoverall optimization time,but also achieves better results in saving material under mechanical constraints,combiningmechanics criteria method and particle swarm optimization algorithm,utilizing full stress method to calculatethe strut radius of the truss structure,and considering them as initial value of the optimization algorithm,improving the capacity and efficiency of the algorithm in the search for globally optimal solutions,and realizingto optimize the cross-sectional dimensions and the topological structure of truss structure simultaneously.The testresults show that the method described above is robust,efficient and cost-effective.
