The foundation of engineering design is exploration and iteration. Design is rarely a perfectly linear and straightforward process. In this course, we explore a design for a traditional manufacturing method and use generative design to create the perfect iteration of it. From that point, we'll reverse engineer the generative design and recreate it for a traditional manufacturing method and explore the option of fabricating the generative version to weigh the pros and cons of each.

TOP REVIEWS FROM GENERATIVE DESIGN FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Just loved this specialization
Autodesk is giving next generation of Engineering Technology
Best Course on Generative Design with a capstone project task
Great course to earn about Design for Industrial Applications. I highly recommend this course.
Excellent course content. Relatively weak assessment and moderation. A lot of people plagiarizing other's assignments and also false flagging assignments. Not much action seen when reported.
