Additive technologies are playing an increasingly important role in shaping today’s industry. The technology requires a newdesign approach: a drastic rethink of design methods, a radical transformation of the design process. The possibilities offeredby the generative design process can be used to create ultra-light, sufficiently rigid structures for, for example, aerospace,automotive and toolmaking use. The centre follows the processes of raw material production – product design – prototype or series production control – quality checking, including the training of specialists.
