Lightweight solutions powered by smart optimization

Topology optimization services

With the spread of additive technologies, new possibilities have opened up for complex, integrated components. We can support this process by rethinking existing parts and assemblies, or by building them entirely from the concept stage. Topology optimization is not magic, but one tool among many that helps us achieve your design objectives.

Why Topology Optimization Matters

Reducing Weight Without Losing Strength

Designs with unprecedented geometric complexity

Accelerating the Development Process for Faster Results

From simulation to manufactured product

Our Topology Optimization Process

Whether it’s an existing design or a new product, we can help further lighten your parts. Material that does not contribute to structural performance under the specified loads is removed. We can assist with simulations and calculate the required mechanical loads.

Design Inputs and Constraints

As a first step, we define the initial geometry - this can be an existing component or a design space - followed by the mechanical loads and additional manufacturing constraints. These constraints may include processes optimized for additive manufacturing or for 3- or 5-axis CNC machining.

Running simulations and removing unnecessary material

Simulation-Driven Design uses advanced simulations to evaluate predefined mechanical loads and constraints before prototyping. Based on these load cases, material is removed from regions that do not contribute to structural performance.

Post-Processing Results and Manufacturing

In the final step, the geometry undergoes post-processing and validation. Afterwards, we can manufacture the finished parts using additive or CNC technologies as needed, ensuring a smooth, error-free transition from design to production.
Advanced Weight Reduction Strategies

Structural Rib & Lattice Design

Extreme weight reduction can often be achieved using lattice structures and targeted rib design. These strategies remove material where it’s not needed while maintaining structural performance, resulting in lighter, stronger, and more efficient parts. Our simulations help identify load paths and optimize the geometry, ensuring designs are ready for additive manufacturing.
