An object of the present invention enables provision of an optimum shape design method in which an optimum shape of a cushioning material used in cushioning packaging can easily and adequately be designed, and an optimum shape design system in which the optimum shape design method is used. In a configuration of the optimum shape design system is characterized by providing an optimizing control unit 2 a. The optimizing control unit 2 a detects a correlation among CAD data M of a cushioning material 4 defined by a CAD unit 2 b, a mechanical response amount detected by a mechanical response amount calculation unit 2 c, manufacturing decision information detected by a manufacturing decision detection unit 2 d, and manufacturing cost information detected by a cost calculation unit 2 e. Then, the optimizing control unit 2 a updates the CAD data M of the cushioning material 4 until an optimum shape of the cushioning material 4 is detected based on the correlation. In the optimum shape, the mechanical response amount satisfies design conditions of the cushioning material 4, the cushioning material 4 is producible, and a minimum manufacturing cost is obtained. Then, the optimizing control unit 2 a updates the correlation based on the changed CAD data M, and the optimizing control unit 2 a detects the optimum shape of the cushioning material 4 based on the updated correlation.
