Weight reduction through topology optimization and advanced design
At Cortez Engineering, we support high-demand industries in reducing the weight of their components without compromising strength or functionality. By combining topology optimization, advanced FEM simulation, and parametric design, we deliver solutions that address performance, manufacturability, and cost requirements from the very beginning.
Weight reduction improves not only energy efficiency and dynamic behavior, but also results in material savings, less wear, easier assembly – and, in many cases, a product with higher technical and commercial value. This type of optimization is especially valuable in automotive, aerospace, motorsport and industrial equipment, where every gram matters and every detail has an impact.
We can work from existing geometries or even just functional requirements, creating intelligent designs that place material only where it’s needed. Thanks to our parametric approach, we can generate iterations quickly – without starting over. This speeds up validation and significantly reduces development times.
Most importantly: our designs don’t stay digital. Every result is developed from the start to be manufacturable through the most appropriate process: metal 3D printing, CNC machining, casting or forging. Because a great idea means nothing if it can’t be built efficiently and on time.
Thanks to this approach:
Product development is faster with fewer iterations.
Mechanical performance improves without the need to oversize.
The final design is optimized and directly ready for production.
