Current optimization techniques make use of several advanced methods, such as adjoint shape optimization, to provide designs that are superior to existing versions. However, they seldom discuss the manufacturability of the optimal designs. This research introduces novel restrictive design for AM (DfAM) constraints through computer-aided design (CAD) file modification which were used to guide the adjoint shape optimization process. The baseline design, using an application of a gas turbine fuel injector, was parameterized using non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) surface information stored in standard initial graphics exchange specification (IGES) file format. Gradient information computed using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver was used for NURBS shape modification in Python while focusing on imposing overhang angle and thin wall constraints for metal-AM. A method was developed to selectively replace information in the IGES file to accommodate modified design of surfaces of interest while preserving the overall geometry and maintain file integrity. The proposed framework accounts for varying levels of design complexity, accepting gradient information from commercial simulation software while imposing user-defined metal-AM constraints to obtain an optimal, additively manufacturable design. Findings from this study can be readily implemented in DfAM of any surface fluidic devices produced via metal laser AM, specifically Laser-Powder Bed Fusion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55083,"journal":{"name":"Graphical Models","volume":"142 ","pages":"Article 101304"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145333524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we first reconstruct the backbone network based on MobileNetV3 to enhance computational speed and efficiency. Second, we improve detection accuracy from three aspects: we design a composite feature fusion network to enhance the model’s feature extraction capability, addressing the issue of decreased detection accuracy for small lesions due to the loss of shallow information during the fusion process; we further combine spatial and channel information to design the C2f-SCSA module, which delves deeper into the lesion information. To tackle the problem of limited types and insufficient samples of lesions in existing CBCT images, our team collaborated with a professional dental hospital to establish a high-quality dataset, which includes 15 types of lesions and over 2000 accurately labeled oral CBCT images, providing solid data support for model training. Experimental results indicate that the improved method enhances the accuracy of the original algorithm by 3.5 percentage points, increases the recall rate by 4.7 percentage points, and raises the mean Average Precision (mAP) by 3.3 percentage points, a computational load of only 7.6 GFLOPs.

In FlexPlan, we propose a novel graph structure, named ArchiGraph, which enables flexible editing more comprehensive layout elements (e.g., architectures, environments, human needs) in a floorplan. First, we match similar floorplans according to the input architecture and environment features. Then, leveraging ArchiGraph, we interactively produce rooms’ attributes and quickly output the vectorized floorplans. For ArchiGraph, we design a RelationNet to predict room adjacencies, and propose a BoxNet to generate high-quality room boxes. Subjective and objective experiments show that our method is compatible with generating diverse complex floorplans (e.g., floorplans with irregular layout boundaries and room shapes).

This paper proposes a novel collision-free optimization framework to address these issues simultaneously. Our method defines a total movement energy function evaluated over each tooth’s pose at intermediate time frames. This energy is minimized iteratively using a steepest descent strategy. A rollback mechanism is employed: if inter-tooth penetration is detected during an update, the step size is halved repeatedly until collisions are eliminated. The framework allows flexible control over the number of intermediate frames to enforce a strict constraint on per-tooth displacement, limiting it to 0.2 mm translation or <span><math><mrow><mn>2</mn><mo>°</mo></mrow></math></span> rotation every 10 to 14 days.
