Combined with additive manufacturing (3D printing), generative design represents a revolutionary path for accelerating innovation design processes and for a significant leap in improving performance of existing products and creating entirely new product types of unprecedented, organically-looking shapes.
The influence of generative design on the changing world of engineering design and menufacturing, including examples of its real deployment in the world, is described in a managerial overview of what's next in manufacturing (future of making things, FOMT) - see the series on our Czech blog Inventor guru and see the page cadstudio.cz/jaksemenivyroba (what's next in manufacturing).
Autodesk has been offering generative design tools (do not confuse with just a plain shape optimization) for a long time - from "technology previews" like Project Dreamcatcher to real-life products like Autodesk Within, Autodesk Netfabb, and the recently released Generative Design (GD) for subscribers of the popular CAD/CAM/CAE application Autodesk Fusion 360 Ultimate.
Customers are often asking us to test and verify capabilities of generative design in their design practice - and here are some of the results we have helped them to produce from their supplied traditional 3D models.
Take a look at the computer-generated designs in an interactive 3D viewer - all shapes come from Fusion 360 Ultimate:
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Option 4
Or as an interactive model which can be embedded in any web page (for WebGL-compatible browsers, like Chrome):
