The application of machine learning, also known as deep learning, to computer-aided design (CAD) is gradually becoming commonplace. Almost all mainstream CAD programs—Autodesk Fusion and SOLIDWORKS, to name but two—include some form of generative design or topology optimization tools. This allows the software to employ AI-like algorithms to identify the best shapes for the designer’s stated purpose, whether to reduce…
