NINEIDEA：在工业设计迈向智能化的变革浪潮中，生成式设计凭借 AI 算法与云计算技术，成为驱动工业产品创新的核心引擎。它打破传统设计依赖经验与试错的模式，以参数化设计为基础，围绕功能、材料、工艺、成本等约束条件，批量生成突破想象边界的设计方案，打造工业设计新未来。
在工业产品结构设计中，生成式设计展现出无可比拟的优势。以航空发动机叶片为例，传统设计需工程师反复计算流体力学、热应力等参数，耗时数月优化结构。而通过生成式设计，输入气动性能、耐热要求、加工精度等参数后，算法模拟叶片在极端工况下的应力分布，快速生成蜂窝状、拓扑优化等复杂结构方案，不仅减轻重量达 30%，还提升了耐高温与抗疲劳性能。在汽车底盘设计中，该技术能综合碰撞安全、舒适性、空间布局等需求，生成不规则镂空与强化筋结合的创新结构，在保证强度的同时降低材料成本。
外观设计上，生成式设计赋予工业产品独特的未来美学。消费电子领域，设计师设定人机交互、品牌基因等参数后，算法可生成融合生物仿生形态与几何切割的手机外壳方案，使产品兼具握持舒适度与视觉冲击力。在家电设计中，通过模拟空气动力学与美学比例，生成曲面流畅、线条动感的冰箱、空调外观，将功能性与艺术性完美融合。
材料创新与工艺适配也是生成式设计在工业领域的重要应用方向。针对 3D 打印技术，算法能优化金属粉末的堆积路径，设计出传统工艺无法实现的晶格结构产品，既保证强度又减轻重量。在复合材料应用上，通过模拟纤维铺层方向与树脂配比，生成兼具高强度与轻量化特性的无人机机翼、游艇船体等部件，推动工业产品性能升级。
随着 AI 技术的持续进化，生成式设计将与数字孪生、虚拟现实深度融合。设计师可实时交互调整设计参数，在虚拟环境中验证产品性能；同时，通过大数据分析用户需求，生成更贴合市场的个性化工业产品方案，彻底重塑工业设计的创新模式与生产流程。
Generative Design: Creating a New Future for Industrial Design
NINEIDEA: In the wave of transformation of industrial design towards intelligence, generative design has become the core engine driving industrial product innovation by virtue of AI algorithm and cloud computing technology. It breaks the traditional design model that relies on experience and trial and error, based on parametric design, and generates design solutions that break through the boundaries of imagination in batches around constraints such as functionality, materials, processes, and costs, creating a new future for industrial design.
Generative design has demonstrated unparalleled advantages in industrial product structural design. Taking aircraft engine blades as an example, traditional design requires engineers to repeatedly calculate parameters such as fluid dynamics and thermal stress, taking several months to optimize the structure. Through generative design, the algorithm simulates the stress distribution of blades under extreme working conditions by inputting parameters such as aerodynamic performance, heat resistance requirements, and processing accuracy.
It quickly generates complex structural schemes such as honeycomb and topology optimization, which not only reduces weight by up to 30%, but also improves high temperature resistance and fatigue resistance. In the design of automotive chassis, this technology can comprehensively meet the requirements of collision safety, comfort, spatial layout, etc., and generate innovative structures combining irregular hollow and reinforced ribs, reducing material costs while ensuring strength.
In terms of appearance design, generative design endows industrial products with a unique future aesthetic. In the field of consumer electronics, after designers set parameters such as human-computer interaction and brand genes, algorithms can generate mobile phone shell solutions that integrate biomimetic forms and geometric cutting, making the product both comfortable to grip and visually impactful. In home appliance design, by simulating aerodynamics and aesthetic proportions, smooth curved surfaces and dynamic lines are generated for the appearance of refrigerators and air conditioners, perfectly integrating functionality and artistry.
Material innovation and process adaptation are also important application directions of generative design in the industrial field. For 3D printing technology, algorithms can optimize the stacking path of metal powders and design lattice structure products that traditional processes cannot achieve, ensuring strength and reducing weight. In the application of composite materials, by simulating the fiber layer direction and resin ratio, components such as drone wings and yacht hulls with both high strength and lightweight characteristics are generated, promoting the performance upgrade of industrial products.
With the continuous evolution of AI technology, generative design will be deeply integrated with digital twins and virtual reality. Designers can interact in real-time to adjust design parameters and verify product performance in a virtual environment; At the same time, by analyzing user needs through big data, personalized industrial product solutions that are more in line with the market are generated, completely reshaping the innovative mode and production process of industrial design.
