Cognitive Design, the Software That Optimizes Design and Ensures Part Manufacturability, Whatever Their Complexity

Engineers are always looking for reliable solutions to optimize their designs and ensure that they can be manufactured in the best possible way, whatever their complexity. However, most of these solutions often involve a lot of back-and-forth between design, simulation, manufacturing and analysis teams, adding to lead times and costs.

To overcome this problem, Cognitive Design Systems has launched a new software package: Cognitive Design, which was designed to improve the design process for high value-added parts. Thanks to a single tool, CAD engineers will be able to optimize designs that meet all end-user requirements, obtain the best performance through optimized geometries and, above all, ensure the manufacturability of their design.

The Challenges of Additive Manufacturing Design

Additive manufacturing has opened the door to unprecedented geometric freedom, freeing us from the constraints inherent in conventional manufacturing processes. For example, it is now possible to use architectural materials, such as lattice structures, or to produce organic structures derived from topological optimization or biomimetics, such as the porosity of a bone body. But traditional design tools are limited in their ability to support these new design freedoms, and to easily integrate data from simulation or feasibility analysis.
