Abstract


The article emphasize how the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology can be used to improve the design process of a connecting rod of an internal combustion engine by enabling the use of complex lattice structures and/or bionic design to enhance to reduce weight of the part, but by keeping the mechanical properties in admissible limits. One comprehensive analysis was made using the finite element analysis method in order to prove the efficiency of using lattice structures in the designing process of the connecting rod, this part being made of AlSi10Mg material by SLM technology in the end.
