Generative design helps manufacturers to innovate
When schedules are tight and demand for performance is higher than ever, generative design can help manufacturers explore more designs in less time, discover ideas beyond the capabilities of human imagination, and optimize designs for specific materials and manufacturing techniques.
EXPLORE LIGHTWEIGHTING
Minimize mass and material use while meeting performance standards and engineering constraints.
IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
Improve and optimize durability while removing potential points of vulnerability.
CONSOLIDATE PARTS
Blend multiple components into single parts to explore additive manufacturing or increase efficiency.
ACHIEVE SUSTAINABILITY
Minimize waste and optimize designs for specific sustainable materials.
Efficiently manufacture parts created with generative design
A common misconception is that generative designs require additive manufacturing techniques. Your shop may lack 3D printing capabilities or your application requires mass production, in this case generative designs can be constrained to fit specific manufacturing methods or costs. Our advanced manufacturing software can bring generative designs to life with many techniques.
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Ultimate flexibility to produce the most complex shapes. Optimize strength, durability, and material usage.
CNC MILLING
Constrain designs to be compatible with the unique capabilities of your existing 2.5-axis, 3-axis, or 5-axis CNC machines.
CASTING
Cost effective method to enable mass production of complex generative parts with proven metal casting processes.
INJECTION MOLDING
Balance cost, function, aesthetics, and manufacturability for high volume production of plastic injection molded parts.
Get more with hybrid manufacturing
Combining additive and subtractive methods is typically referred to as hybrid manufacturing. This enables manufactures to benefit from the flexibility of additive manufacturing and the precision of CNC milling.
Whether you are using separate machines, a single hybrid machine, or an industrial robot using DED (Directed Energy Deposition), we have the software and expertise to help you.
ALIGNING GENERATIVE DESIGN AND IN-HOUSE MANUFACTURING
See how MJK Performance, a specialty aftermarket motorcycle parts manufacturer, used generative design to quickly create drag bike triple clamps that were light, strong, and fully machinable on a 2.5-axis mill.
Introducing manufacturing cost insights at the design phase
Make the right decisions early in the design process by striking the right balance between performance and cost. Estimate your manufacturing cost, powered by aPriori, for every design in a generative study.
