Digital design

The digital design framework is implemented to a computational platform, allowing designers to efficiently leverage the vast design spaces created by current and future digital manufacturing technologies.

This also gives designers a suite of computational methods and tools to create designs that optimise the freedom to arrange materials at increasing higher spatial resolution – currently at the micron scale, but in future at the atomic scale. Our formalism will take advantage of the latest developments in modeling, with complex configurations of objectives, constraints, and optimisation variables through the use of powerful computational optimisation algorithms. Our software architecture will include middleware and libraries and intuitive design interfaces, seamlessly connecting engineering and architectural designers with contemporary, emerging, and future digital fabrication technologies to realise custom, multifunctional products with unprecedented performance.
