According to foreign media reports, on May 3, local time, General Motors (GM) announced that the company will use Autodesk's new generation design software to manufacture lightweight components for future products including zero-emission vehicles. GM said that they are the first in North America. Home automakers using this new technology. So how does it work? According to Autodesk, the software is capable of performing a large number of inputs, including design, cost objectives, materials, and manufacturing methods. The software generates a large number of permutations and combinations through cloud computing and then uses machine learning to continuously improve the design based on the generated designs. Ultimately end-users Will choose the final version that best suits its needs. Currently, GM and Autodesk engineers have already manufactured a seat support using this technology, which is 40% lighter than the original version, but its height has increased by 20%. The previous stand consists of 8 separate components, but through 3D. The stent printed out reduces its number to one. Since 2016, GM has reduced the average weight of every 14 vehicles by 350 pounds, partly due to rapid prototyping and 3D printing. |
