GE Challenge: Optimized Bracket

grabcad

My General Electric Challenge entry was completed within three weeks, totaling approximately 45 hours of work. I plan to participate again in the future. A topology optimization reduced the component's volume by 60% (from 2 kg to 800 g). The Factor of Safety is 1.5.
