Generative design, or topology optimization, is a goal-oriented approach to part design. Generatively designed motorcycle components can be optimized for weight and strength at the same time. Based on the new price structure, it is more cost-effective to opt for the subscription model when running more than four studies a month. Now, customers are able to consolidate both the study generation and the model export into one package, all at a largely reduced cost of 33 credits ($33). Before the price update, users would pay 25 cloud credits ($25) to generate an editable design and 100 cloud credits ($100) to export the model. Now, customers will be given full access to unlimited generative design studies for just $200 a month or $1,600 a year, making geometrically-optimized 3D printing cheaper than ever.Īlongside the subscription model, Autodesk also runs a ‘cloud credits’ licensing model for users working on a per-project basis.
