Abstract - In today’s global competitive environment there
is a need for optimize the excess parameters to develop the
components in short lead time. Hence for doing this it’s
important to study the process of optimization. Also
important to understand the methods of optimization that
are helpful in optimizing the component with reducing
weight and cost. FEA analysis, Simulation methods, Reverse
Engineering / 3D scanning etc. are the methods that are
basically used in the weight optimization process. Each
method plays its own role in optimization. This paper is used
to give a review on weight optimization process. Mainly the
paper is focuses on two important optimization process one
is topology optimization and other one is composite
optimization. Among with the optimization process the
paper also helpful to give bottlenecks that are directly effect
on the optimization process and some of methods that are
basically used in the weight optimization process.
Key words: Optimization, FEA analysis, Simulation, 3D
scanning.
1. INTRODUCTION
Engineering is a profession whereby principles of nature
are applied to build useful objects. A mechanical engineer
designs a new engine, or a car suspension or a robot. A
civil engineer designs a bridge or a building. A chemical
engineer designs a distillation tower or a chemical process.
An electrical engineer designs a computer or an integrated
circuit. The process of determining the best design is called
optimization. Thus during the design of smallest heat
exchanger that accomplishes the desired heat transfer or
design the lowest-cost bridge for the site or to maximize
the load a robot can lift, so optimization is a process that
can be seen in almost every aspect of life, Engineering
requires optimization so that they can design faster planes
and cars, that use less fuel, lighter, stronger and more
comfortable. Engineers have been optimizing designs since
the beginning, but recent advances in computing have
made numerical optimization techniques a more effective
way than the original trial-and-error and experience-based
optimization. The computational costs increase highly
nonlinearly as the number of design variables increases.
In design, construction and maintenance of any
engineering system, engineers must take many
technological and managerial decisions at several stages.
The goal of all such decisions is either to minimize the
effort required or to maximize the desired benefit. Since
the effort required or the benefit desired in any practical
situation can be expressed as a function of certain decision
variables, optimization can be defined as the process of
finding the conditions that give the maximum or minimum
value of a function. So in optimization of a design, the
design objective could be simply to minimize the cost of
the production or to maximize the efficiency of production.
An optimization algorithm is a procedure which is
executed iteratively by comparing various solutions till an
optimum or a satisfactory solution is found. With the
advent of computers, optimization has become a part of
computer-aided design activities.
There is no single method available for solving all
optimization problems efficiently. Hence several
optimization methods have been developed for solving
different types of optimization problems. The optimum
seeking methods are also known as mathematical
programming techniques. Many problems in today’s world
rely on the trial-and-cut method which in return takes a
considerable time to obtain the optimal solution.
Nevertheless, solving engineering problems involve many
conflicting objectives. Optimization is a method of
obtaining the best result under the given circumstances. It
plays a vital role in machine design because the
mechanical components are to be designed in an optimal
manner. While designing machine elements, optimization
helps in several ways to reduce material cost, to ensure
better service of components, to increase production rate,
and many such other parameters. Engineering problems
with optimization objectives are often difficult and time
consuming, and the application of nature or biology-
inspired algorithms in combination with the conventional
optimization methods has been very successful in the last
several decades.
A review paper is used to gives such an idea about the
weight optimization as well as the process of optimization.

Textile and Engineering Institute, Ichalkaranji, Kolhapur. -----------------------------------------------------------------------***------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract - In today’s global competitive environment there is a need for optimize the excess parameters to develop the components in short lead time. Hence for doing this it’s important to study the process of optimization. Also important to understand the methods of optimization that are helpful in optimizing the component with reducing weight and cost. FEA analysis, Simulation methods, Reverse Engineering / 3D scanning etc. are the methods that are basically used in the weight optimization process. Each method plays its own role in optimization. This paper is used to give a review on weight optimization process. Mainly the paper is focuses on two important optimization process one is topology optimization and other one is composite optimization. Among with the optimization process the paper also helpful to give bottlenecks that are directly effect on the optimization process and some of methods that are basically used in the weight optimization process. Key words: Optimization, FEA analysis, Simulation, 3D scanning. 1. INTRODUCTION Engineering is a profession whereby principles of nature are applied to build useful objects. A mechanical engineer designs a new engine, or a car suspension or a robot. A civil engineer designs a bridge or a building. A chemical engineer designs a distillation tower or a chemical process. An electrical engineer designs a computer or an integrated circuit. The process of determining the best design is called optimization. Thus during the design of smallest heat exchanger that accomplishes the desired heat transfer or design the lowest-cost bridge for the site or to maximize the load a robot can lift, so optimization is a process that can be seen in almost every aspect of life, Engineering requires optimization so that they can design faster planes and cars, that use less fuel, lighter, stronger and more comfortable. Engineers have been optimizing designs since the beginning, but recent advances in computing have made numerical optimization techniques a more effective way than the original trial-and-error and experience-based optimization. The computational costs increase highly nonlinearly as the number of design variables increases. In design, construction and maintenance of any engineering system, engineers must take many technological and managerial decisions at several stages. The goal of all such decisions is either to minimize the effort required or to maximize the desired benefit. Since the effort required or the benefit desired in any practical situation can be expressed as a function of certain decision variables, optimization can be defined as the process of finding the conditions that give the maximum or minimum value of a function. So in optimization of a design, the design objective could be simply to minimize the cost of the production or to maximize the efficiency of production. An optimization algorithm is a procedure which is executed iteratively by comparing various solutions till an optimum or a satisfactory solution is found. With the advent of computers, optimization has become a part of computer-aided design activities. There is no single method available for solving all optimization problems efficiently. Hence several optimization methods have been developed for solving different types of optimization problems. The optimum seeking methods are also known as mathematical programming techniques. Many problems in today’s world rely on the trial-and-cut method which in return takes a considerable time to obtain the optimal solution. Nevertheless, solving engineering problems involve many conflicting objectives. Optimization is a method of obtaining the best result under the given circumstances. It plays a vital role in machine design because the mechanical components are to be designed in an optimal manner. While designing machine elements, optimization helps in several ways to reduce material cost, to ensure better service of components, to increase production rate, and many such other parameters. Engineering problems with optimization objectives are often difficult and time consuming, and the application of nature or biology- inspired algorithms in combination with the conventional optimization methods has been very successful in the last several decades. A review paper is used to gives such an idea about the weight optimization as well as the process of optimization.
