Exact solution techniques for MIPs, most prominently branch-and-cut techniques, have the advantage (compared to heuristics such as genetic algorithms) that they can generate solutions with optimality certificates. The novel process of additive manufacturing opens up a further perspective for their use. With the two common techniques, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBD), the sequence in which a given component geometry must be manufactured can be planned. In particular, the heat transfer within the component must be taken into account here, since excessive temperature gradients can lead to internal stresses and warpage after cooling. In order to integrate the temperature, heat transfer models (heat conduction, heat radiation) are integrated into a sequencing model. This leads to the problem class of MIPDECO: MIPs with partial differential equations (PDEs) as further constraints. We present these model approaches for both manufacturing techniques and carry out test calculations for sample geometries in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.}, subject = {Wire arc additive manufacturing; Laser powder bed fusion; Mixed-integer programming; Partial differential equations; Finite element method; Additive Fertigung mit Drahtlichtbogen; Laser-Pulverbett-Schmelzen; Gemischt-ganzzahlige Programmierung; Partielle Differenzialgleichungen; Finite-Elemente-Methode; Rapid Prototyping ; Ganzzahlige Optimierung; Finite-Elemente-Methode; Partielle Differentialgleichung}, language = {en} }
