Description
Generative design is changing the way that designers and engineers bring new products to market by generating and exploring hundreds or thousands of higher-performing options based on functional and manufacturing requirements. The benefits of generative design, however, are not exclusive to additive manufacturing technology, and can be used along with traditional manufacturing technologies like 2-axis cutting and 2.5-, 3-, and 5-axis computer numerical control (CNC). Made in Space is “the space-based manufacturing company” specializing in using the unique properties of the space environment to develop solutions to commercial, industrial, research, and defense challenges. Made in Space famously produced an on-board additive manufacturing facility on the International Space Station. Join Autodesk and Made in Space for an overview of taking a generative design project from project conceptualization through to design exploration of different manufacturing and material options, to producing the final component.

- AHAlex HayesAlex Hayes is a Mechanical Engineer at Made In Space. Mr. Hayes graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University. He works with internal MIS teams to complete NASA and DARPA projects through their full hardware design cycles. Mr. Hayes utilizes Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360 to perform Solid Modeling, FEA, and Generative Design for space hardware that requires extensive modeling and analysis to meet required loads and weight. Current projects include the NASA Archinaut One Satellite and DARPA Eagle Payload Adapter Satellite. Mr. Hayes on his free time enjoys working on cars, 3D printing, flying and hiking.
