The presented work deals with a topological optimization of a racing drone frame. An uniaxially loaded structural element is presented, of which the physical model represents the basis for differential equation derivation. Equation is then translated into variational formulation, on the basis of which the finite element equation is derived. The initial geometry is made, within which the topological optimization is performed via SIMP method. The optimized geometry is validated with numerical static structural analysis. The result of the work is a topologically optimized and 3D printing ready racing drone frame, the mass of which is less than the mass of commercial frames on the market.
