Generative Design

New harmonization between design, technology and functionality.

Generative Design: The Future of Creativity

Generative design is quickly bringing about a new way of harmonizing design, technology and functionality.


Revolutionise your Design Process with Generative Design


The innovative construction method of Generative Design promises groundbreaking freedom in the construction and design process. This results from the dynamic symbiosis of design, technology and functionality, which is rapidly evolving.



In practice, generative design means that special software generates a large number of design variants in a very short time. The advantages of this new type of design are therefore obvious. And they are far more diverse than the large time and cost gains in product development and market launch that are apparent at first glance.

Generative design enables an unprecedented number of variants in the early design phase. It supports design in generating new ideas from the very beginning. Whereas in the past it took a long time to design a single idea, the software can generate a large number of them - and in a much shorter time. New ideas are thus produced on a (digital) assembly line.

CIDEON is already supporting this new design method of tomorrow with products, consulting services and services today.



Use Cases for Generative Design


Benefit from generative design to generate a whole new range of design ideas as well as achieving faster product development and time-to-market of innovative design variants and structures. 


New Design Variants

Use generative design to utilize machine learning and limitless memory and computing capacity to create a multiplicity of variants of your designs.

New Project Ideas

Use the right software to generate new ( feasible) ideas from scratch in unprecedented numbers.

New (Component) Structures

Create complex fully-automated component structures, for example, in innovative lightweight construction. Optimize fully-automated designs for additive manufacturing and use rapid prototyping for even faster initial results.


Your Benefits with Generative Design


Use the benefits of generative design in manufacturing. Achieve new (lightweight) designs and production processes. In combination with additive manufacturing methods, gain time and reduce costs.


Weight Reduction and Stability Optimisation

Generative design allows for lighter yet strong components, resulting in more efficient use of materials and improved overall performance.

Material Savings and Cost Efficiency

Optimised use of material resources reduces costs and minimises environmental impact.

Increasing the Performance of Machines and Plants

Generative design improves the performance of machines and plants by optimising components and structures.


Accelerated Product Development and Launch

Automating the design process shortens development time and speeds up the introduction of new products to the market.

Customised Solutions for Customer Needs

It enables products to be adapted to individual customer requirements, which increases customer satisfaction.

More Efficient manufacturing and assembly

Generative design contributes to the development of parts that are easier to manufacture and assemble, which optimises production processes.


Sustainable Resource use

A more efficient use of resources is achieved through the targeted use of materials according to the load requirements.

Innovative and Complex Design

It enables the creation of complex designs that would be difficult to implement using conventional methods.
