Live Parts: Designing machines like living organisms

Posted on 16 Feb 2018 by Jonny Williamson

The newest SOLIDWORKS feature, Live Parts, is an experimental generative design tool that applies morphogenetic principles and advanced simulation to shape strong, lightweight parts in minutes.

Follow @TheManufacturer Andy Roberts demonstrates at SOLIDWORKS WORLD 2018 Live Parts, a new approach for engineers to ‘grow’ engine parts. The tool produces functional parts with complex, efficient geometries that are ideally suited for 3D printing, and it reportedly requires no prior knowledge of design for additive manufacturing techniques or guidelines.…
