AI-based mobility/product design (Generative design)

What if artificial intelligence can design engineering systems on its own?

Smart Design Lab (SDL) wants to open a new paradigm in the manufacturing industry with AI-based engineering design. It combines physics-based dynamics with data-based deep learning technologies, and builds a virtual product development platform through digital transformation. This innovatively reduces the time and cost of product development and enables design to succeed in the marketplace.

AI-based generative design, which combines artificial intelligence and engineering design technologies (optimal design, CAD/CAM/CAE, HCI, etc.), allows artificial intelligence to achieve designs that satisfy engineering performance, aesthetics, and economy on its own. Develop and integrate the elemental technologies required for the four steps below.

  • ① Design Generation: Technology that mass-creates aesthetic and engineering valid designs based on historical design data
  • ② Design Evaluation: Technology to predict the various engineering performance, manufactureability, and originality of the generated design in real time and explain the cause
  • ③ Design Optimization: Technology to derive optimal design proposals in real time to meet target performance and constraints
  • ④ Design Recommendation: Technology that predicts customer preferences for design proposals in real time and recommends marketable designs

AI-based Generative Design Process
The current design process involves designers, engineers, and marketers designing the final product through a long, repetitive process with a small amount of design before going to the market and being evaluated by customers. In the future, if AI creates a large number of engineered, economical, and customer-friendly designs, designers, engineers, and marketers will be able to come together to make quick and reasonable decisions based on quantitative predictions.
