• Abstract: Generative Design (GD) has evolved as a transformative design approach, employing advanced algorithms and AI to create diverse and innovative solutions beyond traditional constraints. Despite its success, GD faces significant challenges regarding the manufacturability of complex designs, often necessitating extensive manual modifications due to limitations in standard manufacturing processes and the reliance on additive manufacturing, which is not ideal for mass production. Our research introduces an innovative framework addressing these manufacturability concerns by integrating constraints pertinent to die casting and injection molding into GD, through the utilization of 2D depth images. This method simplifies intricate 3D geometries into manufacturable profiles, removing unfeasible features such as non-manufacturable overhangs and allowing for the direct consideration of essential manufacturing aspects like thickness and rib design. Consequently, designs previously unsuitable for mass production are transformed into viable solutions. We further enhance this approach by adopting an advanced 2D generative model, which offer a more efficient alternative to traditional 3D shape generation methods. Our results substantiate the efficacy of this framework, demonstrating the production of innovative, and, importantly, manufacturable designs. This shift towards integrating practical manufacturing considerations into GD represents a pivotal advancement, transitioning from purely inspirational concepts to actionable, production-ready solutions. Our findings underscore usefulness and potential of GD for broader industry adoption, marking a significant step forward in aligning GD with the demands of manufacturing challenges.

  We propose a novel Generative Design (GD) approach by using deep neural networks to encode design for manufacturing (DFM) rules. A conditional generative adversarial neural network (cGAN), Pix2Pix, transforms unmanufacturable subregions into manufacturable subregions. The results show that McGAN can transform existing unmanufacturable designs to generate their corresponding manufacturable counterparts automatically.

  Deep generative models have proven useful for automatic design synthesis and design space exploration. They face three challenges when applied to engineering design: 1) generated designs lack diversity, 2) it is difficult to explicitly improve all the performance measures of generated designs, and 3) existing models generally do not generate high-performance novel designs. We propose MO-PaDGAN, which contains a new Determinantal Point Processes based loss function for probabilistic modeling of diversity and performances.
