Generative design can be used in subtractive manufacturing by using computer software to generate multiple design options for a particular part or product. These options can then be evaluated based on different criteria such as weight, strength, and aesthetics. Once a design is selected, it is programmed into a CNC machine that uses subtractive manufacturing techniques to create the final part by removing material from a solid block of material.
Generative design can help optimize the manufacturing process by reducing waste and the amount of material needed while maintaining the desired functionality and performance. It can also be used to create complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods.
Overall, generative design can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of subtractive manufacturing by providing a more data-driven and optimized approach to the design process.
