Lattice material infilling is an important way to achieve lightweight. Focusing on the problems of non-uniform arrangement and the finite element analysis (FEA) of lattice material in the parts, a lightweight design method based on lattice material is proposed with the spacecraft servo frame as the design object. Modal analysis and topology optimization are carried out according to the boundary conditions. The optimized density results are used to guide the design of lattice material parameters and arrangement. The equivalent mechanical properties of lattice material are obtained through the standard specimens experiments. The equivalent material FEA model of the lightweight servo frame is established, and the performance of the lightweight structure is tested by FEA simulation and experiment. The results show that under the impact condition, the lightweight servo frame meets the performance requirements and the simulation method through the equivalent material model is validated.
