Hackathon
GENERATIVE
Design For Additive Manufacturing
The Problem
Automation has greatly enhanced car manufacturing efficiency and manufacturing scale, but the manufacturing paradigm remains unchanged.
The highly-automated age is still confronted with challenges: overcapacity, mass customization, reliance on supply chain and difficulty in iterating, which constrain the innovation in automobile industry.
The Vision
PIX Generative Hackathon aims to reimagine how cars are made and explore new automobile manufacturing paradigm with creative digital design approaches and new digital manufacturing processes, further driving innovation in the automobile industry and lighting a beacon for next-generation manufacturing.
The ultimate goal of PIX Generative Hackathon is to design self-driving cars which can meet the additive manufacturing capacities by using generative design approach.
