Generative AI for Rapid Prototyping

Overview

A next-generation AI system that revolutionises product development by automating the creation of 3D prototype models, enabling manufacturers to rapidly iterate designs through AI-generated simulations based on engineering specifications, reducing the traditional prototyping cycle from weeks to hours.

Problem

  1. Traditional prototyping is time-consuming and expensive, requiring multiple iterations and specialised expertise
  2. Manual CAD modelling is labour-intensive and limits the number of design variations that can be explored
  3. Physical prototypes require significant material costs and manufacturing time
  4. Design changes require complete model reconstruction, causing project delays
  5. Limited ability to quickly test multiple design variations for performance optimisation

Solution

An AI-powered platform that:
  • Generates multiple 3D prototype variations from text descriptions and basic specifications
  • Performs real-time physics simulations to validate design feasibility
  • Automatically optimises designs for manufacturing constraints
  • Creates photorealistic renderings for stakeholder review
  • Integrates with existing CAD/CAM systems
  • Provides instant cost estimates for different design variations

Key Impact

Reduces prototyping cycle time by 70-80%
Cuts development costs by 50-60%
Increases design iteration speed
Enables exploration of more design variations
Improves first-time-right prototype success rate
Reduces material waste from failed prototypes
