Creation of 3D geometry from topology optimization results, for thin-walled and casted parts

The use of topology optimization gives us the capability to create an optimal design for a product, taking into consideration a set of predefined constraints, under certain load cases to which it is subjected. However, its results exhibiting jagged and/or no well-defined boundaries, lead into difficulties, regarding the interpretation of these results into proper CAD geometry, which subsequently could be used downstream in the CAD based product development process or could be parametrized and further optimized. Moreover, the manufacturing process, that will be followed to build the parts or the structure, adds an extra variable and increases the degree of difficulty to the task of creating adequate CAD geometry.
