It is attractive to combine topology optimization (TO) with additive manufacturing (AM), due to the design freedom provided by AM, and the increased performance that can be achieved with TO. One important aspect is to include the design rules associated with the process restrictions of AM to prevent the requirement of relatively large support volumes during printing. This paper presents a TO filter that enforces a minimum overhang angle, resulting in an optimized topology that is printable without the need for support structures. The filter is based on front propagation, which, as it is described by a PDE, allows for a straightforward application on unstructured meshes, to enforce an arbitrary overhang angle. Efficient algorithms developed for front propagation are used in combination with adjoint sensitivities, in order to have a minor influence on the total computational cost. The focus of this work is on the implementation of the filter for high resolution 3D cases, which requires development of the front propagation for tetrahedral elements, and its parallelization.
