With the benefits so heavily fixated on lightweighting, engineers could miss out on opportunities to leverage generative design’s full potential to unlock design freedoms and transform workflows in pursuit of highly-optimized products. Though engineering teams have scored notable wins leveraging the dynamic duo for specific projects, generative design software has capacity to solve for other design challenges in areas such as fluid flow and design for manufacturing (DfM).
The symbiotic nature of the technologies has led to a wave of early use cases focused on creating organically-shaped designs aimed at consolidating or lightweighting parts that couldn’t be produced with traditional manufacturing methods. A few years into the debut of generative design software and the mainstreaming of 3D printing technology, it’s now a bit hard to think about one without the other.
