This paper presents a novel design methodology that validates and utilizes the results of topology optimization as the final product shape. The proposed methodology aims to streamline the design process by eliminating the need for remodeling and minimizing printing errors through process simulation. It also eliminates the repeated export and import of data between software tools. The study includes a case study involving the steering column housing of a racing car, where Siemens NX Topology Optimization was used for optimization, and verification analysis was conducted using the NX Nastran solver. The final solution was fabricated using AlSi10Mg via direct metal laser sintering on a 3D printer and successfully validated under real conditions. In conclusion, this paper introduces a comprehensive design methodology for the direct utilization of topology optimization, which was validated through a case study, yielding positive results.
