A Study on Application of Generative Design System in Manufacturing Process

Abstract

Abstract The paradigm of manufacturing is changing with the recent era of the fourth industrial revolution. In particular, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, tremendous transformation is welcomed in various areas related to manufacturing. This study concentrated on the changes in manufacturing due to the development of a generative design system. It also analyzed how designers design products through a generative design system based on artificial intelligence. The changes in the design part of the manufacturing process through the creative design are as follows: First, once the designer sets up a rough conceptual design, and then enters the conceptual design into the generative design system, the computer provides with a basic form of design. After AI presents multiple designs, designers choose the appropriate and desirable one. Next artificial intelligence puts forward an optimal material proposal considering its function and economics. And the designer reviews this alternative. After the designer’s review, the computer comes up with a final proposal. Much of the design is done by artificial intelligence. This design method will be universal in the future. Therefore, this study analyzed the direction in which the generative design system would develop in the artificial intelligence era. And the results of this study are to present the theoretical basis of the future product design methodology.
