As part of an OverHiPP study, GRM has created software that enables users to virtually model and analyze 3D printed structures at a level of detail never seen before — an accurate digital twin can now be generated, enabling precise design decisions to be made.
Read MoreStudy Indicates AM Users Familiar with Generative Design More Open to Pivoting Production
A paper published by Decision Sciences Institute (DSI) found that firms with generative design experience were more agile in pivoting to make pandemic-response items, regardless of whether they applied these design tools to do so.
Read MoreVoxel Developing AI Alternative to Generative Design
Newly opened Ohio facility is where geometric cells are made and tested to inform the machine learning system that will “know,” without computation, what 3D printed form satisfies a given set of needs.
