Abstract

The new generative design process that has emerged in recent years has become available in more and more software. With the classic rapid prototyping procedures, it was not possible to test the designed products during long-term operation. However, the advent of metal powder printing and additive technology already allows for the long-term testing of designed prototypes, and even, if the deviation from the required properties of the product is negligible, the production of the final products. As a result, with the generative design process, design engineers also can create products that seemed unthinkable so far.
