The image above depicts a drone frame created using generative design. This helps to reduce the weight of the structure by minimising material use while conforming to the engineering inputs.<\/p>\n

So, what is generative design?<\/p>\n

It is an iterative method for designing new products using the help of CAD software features<\/a>. These features automatically create a large number of design possibilities when specific data is provided as input. The inputs form the constraints within which the design should perform.<\/p>\n

These designs are not invented by AI. They are actually human designs that are refined using artificial intelligence and machine learning.<\/p>\n

For example, if we need to create possible designs for a dining table, we need to provide data such as the length, breadth, and height we expect it to be and the load we need it to support.<\/p>\n

The generative design program will create a large number of iterations for us which we can fine-tune further as per our preferences. Each iteration can have hundreds of designs within it.<\/p>\n

Design Process Using Generative Design<\/h2>\n

Generative design is gradually transforming the design sector. It helps the designer generate thousands of possible design solutions which would take months to accomplish manually.<\/p>\n
