General Motors Drives Vehicles of the Future with Generative Design

GM and Autodesk engineers apply generative design technology to reconceive a small, but important, vehicle component -- the seat bracket where seat belts are fastened. The resulting part is 40 percent lighter and 20 percent stronger than the original part.

Nice to hear that my alma mater is continuing in their great design process with Autodesk! I was an AutoStudio sculptor when that process began even way before Autodesk.

Nice video, but we need a live session on generative design...

[@adskFusion]

Check this out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZjIhHh9j8qZgpY

Fine for concept cars and one off design, but additive manufacturing can't compete with stamping and forging economically

[@adskFusion]

Generative design now uses more accessible manufacturing techniques, such as 2 axis and 3/5 axis machining. Check it out to see how you too can use this amazing tool. Also see... www.fastcompany.com/90334218/this-is-the-first-commercial-product-made-using-generative-design

Working with generative design is awsome experience .

[@adskFusion]

Great to hear! We love it if you can share some of your designs on the gallery!

[@Ddfdsssed]

Ok i will

[@Ddfdsssed]

Once i complete that project i will defenitely share on autodesk gallery

I'm new to Fusion 360 but enjoying learning the capabilities as I build out an invention prototype. Pretty amazing stuff. Good to see GM leveraging in their prototyping.

Welcome to the community!

Great

[@igora6367]

nice

[@adskFusion]

Thanks Igor!

i cant wait i have so many ideas hahaha omg yoooooooooo im bout to make some cool shit

Autodesk now needs to add a function which, given an object designed using their Generative Design approach, also automatically produces the designs for the molds necessary to mass produce the object. As others have pointed out, generative design seems to produce objects that can only be manufactured using one-at-a-time additive manufacturing techniques, like 3D printing. That's simply not useful when you need to manufacture thousands or tens of thousands of the object.

[@adskFusion]

We're working to add other manufacturing types (such as injection molding) soon. That said, with some tweaking you CAN mass produce what comes out of generative now. Case in point: www.fastcompany.com/90334218/this-is-the-first-commercial-product-made-using-generative-design

Hi recently retired fish monger wanting to do woodworking I tried the free version of this and its a waste of time cant do anything and no support Greg

[@adskFusion]

Sorry to hear that, Greg. Where were you trying to get support? Did you start with beginners learning material? f360ap.autodesk.com/courses Even if its not woodworking specific, these lessons will get you started from square 1.

[@adskFusion]

Greg, I would love to hear back from you. I would like to help you...and would even like to offer you my personal email it that helps: [e-mail]
