“It’s been around for 40 years,” Mr Hillyer said at the 2018 UITIC Congress in Porto on May 17. “Cars, aeroplanes, even toothbrushes have been designed in 3D for a long time. Shoes, apparel and handbags are the last to embrace it.”
But he described the software now available for 3D design as “extremely powerful” and said it is becoming much easier to use.
“This is making generative design possible,” he said, “and generative design is a revolutionary new way of creating products. Everything you come across in the world will be influenced by this. It’s the future of how things are going to be made.”
