heal.abstract	This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the application of topology optimization in the development of a racing car upright, with a specific focus on the Formula Student competition. The research encompasses a meticulous analysis of existing upright designs, their manufacturing processes, and performance analysis. A significant part of the study is dedicated to the redesign of the conventional upright using topology optimization techniques, utilizing software such as Altair OptiStruct and Altair Inspire, to achieve a lightweight yet robust design. The thesis delves into detailed design calculations, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) validation, and a comparative study of the conventional and optimized designs. A substantial section is devoted to the implementation of the optimized design in Selective Laser Melting (SLM) for additive manufacturing, highlighting the advantages of this approach in the context of racing applications. The thesis ends with a comprehensive comparison of the manufacturing processes of the conventional and optimized designs, underscoring the significant time and resource efficiencies achieved through SLM. This study not only contributes to the advancement of automotive engineering in the context of Formula Student racing but also offers insights into the broader application of topology optimization and additive manufacturing in high-performance vehicle design.	en
