As Metal AM Attracts Attention, the Need for Simulation Grows.

The automotive industry represents the largest opportunity globally with US$18.5 billion in generative design software revenues forecasted for 2030, but the largest industry differs from country to country.

PTC acquires generative design software maker Frustum, TechSoft adds AR-VR support to HOOPS SDK, HP partners with Autodesk for 3D printing workflow, hybrid Centaur-like robot from Bostondynamics and Youbionic

Additive manufacturing hardware vendors shift from optimization for quality to optimization for speed and face competition from open-system material manufacturers.

Slated to debut in future versions of the PTC Creo CAD tool, Frustum's AI-based generative design capabilities will make it easier for engineers to innovate product breakthroughs.

The genesis of generative design can be traced back to simulation software, with topology optimization as the intermediary evolutionary step. Generative design software uses time-tested structural, fluid and thermal simulation technologies; however, instead of asking the user to provide the...
