Optimization of a Lever
weight reduction of a CNC-machined Lever

The original part is a simple CNC-machined Lever. It pivots around the bottom bearing. The weight is to be reduced while not changing the Method of production
- Material: EN AW 7075-T6
- Process: milled (2.5 axis)
- Weight: 528 g


The optimized Design results in a more even stress-distribution. The weight is reduced and the part can be CNC-maschined.
- Material: EN AW 7075-T6
- Process: milled (2.5 axis)
- Weight: 323 g (reduced by 39%)
