Kurzfassung: Industry requirements are constantly changing over time. Therefore, whether related to performance, costs or sustainability, the search for technical and methodological alternatives for product development is fundamental. The use of multi-materials in a single component stands out as a promising alternative by setting the right material in the right place. However, a range of new challenges in mechanical design comes with it, where classical as well as state-of-the-art methods are often inadequate to address the intrinsic heterogeneity of the problem. This work aims for presenting a complete process for multi-material design with a focus on the optimization of mechanical properties and the manufacturability of the solution.
