Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures, where the 3D models of the physical structures are produced so as to facilitate 2.5-axis subtractive manufacturing, include: obtaining one or more design criteria and one or more boundary conditions, modifying a 3D shape of a modeled object in accordance with the one or more design criteria and the one or more boundary conditions, including employing geometry filtering or simulation results filtering in the iterative loop or inserting voids at locations selected using one or more shape skeleton lines, and providing the 3D shape of the modeled object for use in manufacturing the physical structure using one or more computer-controlled manufacturing systems that employ the 2.5-axis subtractive manufacturing process.
