    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures using techniques that facilitate manufacturing, include: modifying a three dimensional shape, for which a corresponding physical structure is to be created using a manufacturing process, to produce a modified three dimensional shape; and providing the modified shape of the modeled object for use in manufacturing the physical structure using one or more computer-controlled manufacturing systems that employ the manufacturing process. The modifications can include, for each of two or more discrete layers of the three dimensional shape along a direction associated with the manufacturing process, extracting a two dimensional profile representation of the three dimensional shape in a current discrete layer, offsetting the two dimensional profile representation by an amount associated with the manufacturing process, and changing a next discrete layer using an offset two dimensional profile representation of the current discrete layer.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures using generative design processes, where the 3D models of the physical structures are produced so as to facilitate manufacturing of the physical structures using 2.5-axis subtractive manufacturing systems and techniques, include: obtaining a design space for an object to be manufactured, design criteria, and load case(s); iteratively modifying a generatively designed 3D shape of the modeled object, including generating 2D profile representations (corresponding to discrete layers) of an updated version of the 3D shape, extruding the 2D profile representations along the milling direction, and forming a next version of the 3D shape of the modeled object from a combination of the 3D representations produced by the extruding; and providing the generatively designed 3D shape of the modeled object for use in manufacturing the physical structure using a 2.5-axis subtractive manufacturing process.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures using generative design processes include: obtaining one or more design criteria, a model of an object for which a physical structure is to be manufactured, and a set of eigenmodes from a modal analysis of the model of the object; extracting a proper subset of non-zero eigenmodes from the set of eigenmodes, wherein the proper subset of non-zero eigenmodes include at least three lowest valued, non-zero eigenmodes; combining data of the proper subset of non-zero eigenmodes to form a strain energy field for the model of the object; iteratively modifying a generatively designed shape of the model of the object using the strain energy field to drive changes to the generatively designed shape of the model; and providing the generatively designed shape of the model of the object.
