DESIGN EXPLORATIONExamine multiple design options and review trade-offs in materials, performance and manufacturing methods.

DESIGN FOR ADDITIVE (BUT NOT EXCLUSIVE)The generative design process takes additive constraints and material properties into account

PART CONSOLIDATIONTo maximize the potential of additive manufacturing, consolidate multiple components into solid parts.

150 Design Options

What’s Different?

Autodesk generative design is a Manufacturing-aware technology.

✓ Design Exploration = 10’s, 100’s, 1000’s of higher performing design options

✓ Manufacturing Aware = Additive, Subtractive

✓ Multiple Materials

✓ Open Design Space exploration

✓ Multiple Production methods

✓ CAD-Ready Geometry
