I've been using this feature for a few weeks now, having a 3d printer to test all the results for my project. It has been extremely useful in quickly connecting between parts that have a fixed position in my model, saving me hours of work and creating organic looking fixtures that look interesting aswell. You have to give it a ton of guidance, and I wish there were more sliders to change the parameters of the output, but overall an amazing feature. I'll add that I don't think there is a very advanced AI being implemented here, I would barely call it AI honestly, I would not use this feature to demonstrate AI's design capabilities.

I think I have little to worry about from AI design.............In Summary - AI didnt design your tool. You used a CAD package to mostly manually add 5 holes to the handle than IRL wouldnt work and likely would break after a bit of fatigue

I love Fusion trying these algorithm tricks, which is what this 'AI' really is, I have yet to try it myself but seems a nice addon

You could theoretically train an LLM to print 3D designs with text inputs

Nice info, thanks for sharing, well done :)

Did you get it printed in 17-4 PH? Or just A3 Tool STL?

Thank you.

Hang on can you see the error? The torque increases as you get closer to the fulcrum. Whereas the holes in the center of the handle all have the same area as they radiate out from the radial center. 😊Its a fail.

I can't find this function on my fusion 360, already updated, on their site they say to go to "preferences" next "preview features" and then enable "automated modeling". Now the problem is that there isn't any "automated modeling" there, and I don't have any "design" group in that window... is that function dedicated to professional license? I have a free version. Any help to unlock that?

It's out of preview and no longer needs to be enabled in the preferences. They need to update their documentation :) Try resetting your toolbar.

Wait, does that wrench actually work?

As far as I could test and understand, this is nice to play around and try different designs. The T-Splines will not always close to a body, you'll definitely loose parametric capabilities and you're definitly loosing precision with the T-Spline approach. I think it's a cool tool, but at least not yet looking like the future of CAD, but I can change my mind if I learn something more...

why not make the holes fit bolts of various sizes?

How is this different from the topography function AutoCAD removed from the basic version? If anything, it's a downgrade from a functional generative design to a whatever-this-is generative design.

@ProductDesignOnline

Жыл бұрын

Agree, that it feels like a downgrade from GD. I suspect it's intended to be a step into it, so they can upsell GD more. Given, Automated Modeling is available to all and GD is extra cost. Not familiar with that part of AutoCAD, unfortunately.

I don’t understand where all the crescent / monkey wrenches are going. They’ve been mass produced for over a hundred years and are basically indestructible. We should be ankle deep in them by now.

I don't understand what we are seeing here. Is this about 3D modelling and visuals, or actual reasoning about forces, materials, geometry, etc.? Does AI assist with sensitive designs taking into account the mentioned, or just aesthetics-wise?

Its amazing that fusion wont let you use your own hardware to compute the generative design locally on your computer. what if maybe i happen to be tech savvy enough to build a computer that i know has enough horse power to compute this in a snap? Its just a way autodesk can take advantage of non techy users that use a mac to try and convince them that you need someone else's server to "cloud compute" it for you. This is why i hate autodesk with a passion. shit like this. Whats even more amazing is that people that have not a single clue about what kind of hardware it takes to compute this properly will defend Autodesk to hell and back and spat out sht like "Oh that requires large mainframes and hundreds of thousands of dollars of compute power to compute this, you just dont understand" Im like, No, you are the one who doesnt understand 🙄

Wow, W AI

Product designers are rarely asked to design a solution for a problem for people with real needs and little money. Instead they are asked to design products that increase corporate profits. I have my doubts that AI will ever be programmed to solve problems for people with little purchasing power. If it doesn't make someone wealthy, it won't become a lasting reality.
