The article examines the impact of topological optimization on reducing production costs in the manufacture of parts in mechanical engineering. This topic is considered using the example of topological optimization of a lever as part of an installation for testing gears for strength. The result of the study is a numerical value of reducing the mass of a part, which directly and proportionally affects the economic component of the production of parts in mechanical engineering. Saving costs and resources for the production of any parts affects the economics of production processes. Costs are also reduced by eliminating errors at the initial design stage using prototyping. The results indirectly show how the use of these technologies affects the industry and reduces costs. Topological optimization can reduce material consumption by up to 40%, which reduces the overall cost of the product.
