Resumen
The invention describes a method for manufacturing a gear wheel comprising: obtaining initial geometric and contour data; calculate an optimized topology (1a) for a maximum rigidity/mass ratio while maintaining a target safety factor (γ); calculating a manufacturable optimized topology (1b) by approximating each irregular element of the optimized topology (1a) to linear segments of regular geometry; calculating an increased manufacturable optimized topology (1c) by growing the linear segments to obtain grown elements; determine if the safety factor (γ) of the elements grown coincides essentially with the objective safety factor (γobj) and, if not, modify the growth rate and repeat the two steps previous iteratively until obtaining a final manufacturable optimized topology whose grown elements have a safety factor (γ) that essentially matches the objective safety factor (γobj); and manufacture the cogwheel according to the optimized top-end manufacturable topology.
