Introduction
Topology optimization
Form lightweight design of a wheel rim star
• Aim: changing and adapting a structure, by creating an
optimal force distribution and shape, respecting the given
requirements, for getting a structure with minimal mass.

Introduction
Manufacturing lightweight design
Aim: mass reduction based manufacturing, production and assembly processes.
• allows new possibilities and ways to design a part or to use a material, which cannot be
applied by classical or other manufacturing technologies
• Joining processes like welding or bonding can be also seen as a manufacturing lightweight
strategy, more homogeneous connections can be realized
