Replay Webinar About our Speaker
Do any of the following statements sound familiar?
- Designs must be created so they can be assessed.
- Assessment causes redesign.
- Redesign cycles are slow, disruptive, and expensive.
- The intersection of Generative Design and Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing): Do we have to do both?
- Organizational issues prevent us from getting the right resources at the right time.
Ideas for Generative Design, including topology optimization, were developed in the 1980s but did not fully take root. The evolution of additive manufacturing has sparked new interest, helping users to produce objects not manufacturable by traditional methods. We are evolving to Generative Engineering (or Human-Assisted Design) by leveraging the astounding improvements in computer and software capability to create an environment that will revolutionize not only product engineering and development, but the entire lifecycle that PLM oversees. This webinar will provide a vision for how technologies including Generative Design, Simulation & Analysis, Big Data Analytics, Advanced Materials, and Robust Design will converge to an Augmented Intelligence environment that will dramatically change product development over the PLM lifecycle.
What will I learn?
- You will find out what generative design is and why it is so important.
- You will gain an understanding of why it is now so relevant.
- You will learn about the technologies that will enable it.
- You will learn about who should use these tools.
- You will find out what should my company plan to do about it, for example what organizational and process changes are required.
- You will learn that while Additive Manufacturing is a great enabler, it is not required for an effective Generative Design capability.
Who should attend?
- Product development engineering managers
- Product design architects
- CAE (simulation) managers and engineers
- Solution providers
- Anyone interested in learning more about generative design
During the webinar you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
