What if, instead of prototyping two or three different design concepts, your engineers could try thousands? By putting artificial intelligence and cloud computing to work for heavy equipment manufacturers, the innovators at Autodesk say their new software effectively lets you do just that. 

The process is known as Generative Design, and it is already producing some eyebrow-raising results for the companies that have experimented with it. In this episode, learn how it works from Autodesk's Bryce Heventhal, hear case studies including the one-of-a-kind collaboration with Lightning Motorcycles, and engage in a discussion with engineering experts from AEM member companies that stand to benefit from the technology. 

Learn more about generative design and see photos of the concepts discussed in this episode, and subscribe to the AEM Industry Advisor for regular updates in your email about industry news and insights.
