Antler Bracket

Shelf Bracket geometry based in topology optimization result, suitable for 3D printingMain objective was to obtain a beautiful, organic shape, reminiscent of deer's antlersThe plane offset of 150mm between the anchoring planes helped achieving this objective, although, from a structural perspective, the offset is not ideal.Secondary objective was to have a uniform stress distribution across the geometry, minimizing local stress concentrations.Weight optimization was not targeted, I expect weight reduction to be obtained by using a certain infill pattern.
