Topology, which studies the geometric properties of objects, is used in engineering to optimize the shapes and structures of products to reduce weight while maintaining strength and performance. This approach, carried out via numerical modeling and simulation, makes it possible to automatically generate optimized structures by redistributing the material in an efficient way to minimize the weight while respecting the specified constraints. Optimized structures can be fabricated using advanced manufacturing techniques like 3D printing, allowing for complex, organic shapes that maximize the efficiency of material distribution. In the aerospace and automotive industry, this use of topology can reduce the weight of components such as beams, supports and body structures, often by up to 55% or more, helping to improve the energy efficiency of products, their durability and to reduce production and transport costs.
