Generative design

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000155

An iterative design exploration process where algorithms automatically generate numerous design options based on specified constraints and performance goals. Engineers define parameters such as material properties, manufacturing methods, and load conditions, and the software explores optimal solutions. This approach often produces organic, lightweight structures well-suited for additive manufacturing.
