Mass reduction

Hello

If you had to reduce the mass of a body like this one what technique would you apply without reducing its strength?

Thanks,

Sebastian

Hi,

Completely without changes to the load-bearing capacity will hardly work.

For example, instead of a solid material, you can use a tube with a corresponding wall thickness or a lighter material with comparable properties.

Also, it could be a case for generative design.

open channels. increase web width in the direction need to achieve needed load bearing capabilities.
