Dreamcatcher: self-generated designs

Autodesk have been out there developing tools for engineers, architects and anyone who needs a design. Fidelity has been shown by these programs cause all the tools provided. Innovation is part of all these programs co-working with the users to develop the best creating experience.

Dreamcatcher is one of their projects, but turned in a new creative approach. Now with this new group of algorithms all you need is to introduce the conditions that you want. After that, the program self creates numerous possibilities of functional designs. Designers could start disappearing and be replaced by technology like this one, resulting in some advantages.

The program can reduce costs in an effective way. When working next to this computer program you will need to introduce parameters. Materials, costs, size, involved forces; are just some examples. So let’s say that you need a chair, but you are lacking material. Dreamcatcher will replace material consistency with effective structure, resulting in fewer costs.

Dreamcather will effectively reduce human mistakes. With traditional design (human made) errors can be committed producing consequences. For instance, enormous constructions torn down by natural disasters because misled calculus. Computer programs create more accurate designs.

Human made designs could go wrong

Even more stuff can result from this technology. Things that were not possible now can be done. For example, extra-light bikes that will improve in many specifications like acceleration. Tall buildings that won’t fall due to computer generated structures.

Even though technology has not replaced all jobs, designing is under attack. This replacement is arising many advantages.  Less costs, less errors, and more inventions are just a few examples.
