Problem
Traditional product engineering cycles are lengthy, especially during the earliest concept phase, where generating and refining high-performance part designs is time-consuming and often requires manual iteration. Engineers struggle to balance design speed with production constraints, leading to delayed development and increased costs.
Solution
Cognitive Design Systems offers a generative-AI software platform that integrates advanced optimization techniques with an implicit modeling engine to generate and refine designs at unprecedented speeds. The software automatically produces high-performance designs for structural components like brackets and protective parts, while ensuring all production constraints are met. It incorporates manufacturing insights for processes such as molding, machining, casting, additive manufacturing, and forging, enabling production-ready parts. Data-driven exploration tools powered by AI modules help engineers generate the right design in minutes, and reusable workflows allow teams to capture, share, and automate proven engineering logic for consistent, accelerated performance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineering teams in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing that need to accelerate the design of high-performance structural components while ensuring manufacturability.
