MET 213 Generative Design
This course covers the merits and use of generative design as an alternative design process. Students will input design goals into the generative design software, along with parameters such as performance or spatial requirements, materials, manufacturing methods, and cost constraints. The software explores all the possible permutations of a solution, quickly generating design alternatives. Students will define, run, and post process generative design studies for various manufacturing applications. Students will target the key outcomes of generative design: part performance, weight & material cost reduction, & part consolidation. Students will then select & manufacture generatively-designed components using a variety of manufacturing methods.
