Abstract
Generative design (GD) constitutes a different way of breaking creative blockings by letting the computer generate alternatives. The designer can explore a much wider range of possible product designs in a comparatively lower time. This is a relatively new discipline in industrial design, which is more widely spread in architecture design, where the algorithmic nature of the generated geometry fits perfectly into the modern building aesthetics. This paper intends to gather comprehensively the many contributions to this field to establish a wide vision of its role and identify its possible applications in other less explored areas such as product design. The studies found in the bibliography are analysed to observe the evolution of generative design and its future trend. Moreover, it is important to know the advantages and challenges that may arise from the application of the different tools that the generative design provides in order to identify their optimal applications.
Keywords: Product design, Generative design, Shape grammars.
