GENERATIVE DESIGN MARKET ANALYSIS

Lack of skilled professionals with expertise in generative design tools is a major challenge restraining the growth of the global generative design market. However, presently there exists a dearth of designers and engineers trained in using the specialized generative design software and interpreting the outputs. Transitioning to this new computational design paradigm requires significant reskilling of the existing workforce as well as developing new educational programs to train a fresh pool of generative design experts.

Market Opportunities: Growing collaboration with 3D printing technology

Growing collaboration between 3D printing technology and generative design presents a significant opportunity for the global generative design market. Generative design uses optimization algorithms to automate the generation and evaluation of different design alternatives that meet given goals or criteria. When combined with 3D printing technology's ability to rapidly produce physical parts from digital designs, generative design can revolutionize how products are conceived, tested and produced.

This collaboration allows designers and engineers to generate thousands of optimized design options that can then be effortlessly 3D printed and tested. Physical prototypes produced using generative design and 3D printing enable a more comprehensive evaluation of design trade-offs related to factors like strength, weight, functionality and aesthetics earlier in the product development process. Additionally, on-demand printing of optimized designs affords continuous refinement of prototypes based on learnings from testing. Overall, this workflow integrates physical testing and digital design loops, allowing for faster development of higher quality, more innovative products.
