Description:
The Laboratory of Generative Design was established in 2013. The basic task of laboratory is research of new methods of vehicle and vehicle components development. In present time the activity of laboratory is focused on research in area of generative design, which represents new original design approach of products development in automotive industry. The laboratory is equipped with software and hardware to comparable level with leading design offices of the world class car manufacturers. In present time laboratory has 11 DELL workstations with installed software Catia V5, V6 with relevant modules and extensions suitable for development and design of vehicles (Platform P3), IBM server for data backup and network connection of workstations, optical 3D scanning device with special software for recording and post processing of measured data, device with vacuum casting chamber with two heat ovens suitable for effective casting using silicone moulds. The laboratory is also equipped with 3D FDM printer suitable for production of precise durable prototyping models, interactive board with auxiliary software and 2 notebooks.
