The challenges of lightweight design are not only the development of new materials and production technologies but above all the consideration of lightweight design potential in the early phases of product development. This early consideration allows the product developer to control the resources towards a lightweight solution. However, this resource-efficient lightweight design development only works purposefully if product and company-specific criteria are used for the potential analysis. In addition, by considering potentials for mass redistribution, it is possible to uncover even more lightweight potentials and achieve lightweight design goals that are only achieved inefficiently or even not achieved by a mere mass reduction. Current methods only insufficiently support the product developer in facing these challenges.The purpose of the present application is, on the one hand, to gain a deeper understanding of the most diverse motivations and criteria for lightweight design, and, on the other hand, to understand the reciprocal effects of mass reduction and mass redistribution goals. As a result, based on the findings, two methods will be developed that support the product developer in the multi-criteria mass reduction and mass redistribution. Both methods should be combined into one methodology, taking into account the basic research. This will finally be validated in several case studies in cooperation with industrial partners.

轻量化设计的挑战不仅在于新材料和生产技术的发展，最重要的是在产品开发的早期阶段考虑到轻量化设计的潜力。这一早期考虑允许产品开发人员控制资源以实现轻量级解决方案。然而，这种资源高效的轻量级设计开发只有在使用特定于产品和公司的标准进行潜在分析时才能有目的地工作。此外，通过考虑质量再分配的潜力，有可能发现更轻的潜力，并实现仅通过质量减少才能低效实现甚至无法实现的轻量化设计目标。目前的方法不足以支持产品开发人员面对这些挑战。本申请的目的一方面是为了更深入地了解轻量化设计最多样化的动机和标准，另一方面是为了了解质量减少和质量再分配目标的相互影响。因此，基于这些发现，将开发两种方法来支持产品开发人员的多标准质量减少和质量重新分配。考虑到基础研究，这两种方法应该结合成一种方法。这最终将在与工业伙伴合作的几个案例研究中得到验证。
