The results of applying topological optimization methods (ESO and SIMP) are presented in terms of accuracy and performance on an example of a real three-dimensional object (the upper beam of a column press used in rubber vulcanization). Two statements of the topological optimization problem are considered: minimization of material ductility with restriction on volume and minimization of volume with restriction on equivalent stresses. Engineering interpretations of optimized structures are proposed and the results of their comparison with the existing version of the beam are presented.
