What is Generative Design? Generative design is a design exploration process. Designers or engineers input design goals into the generative design software, along with parameters such as: the performance or spatial requirements materials manufacturing methods budget The software explores all the possible arrangements of a solution, quickly generating design alternatives. It tests and learns from…

When you think about how far technology has come over the last decade, it’s pretty amazing. It might be natural to think that something that can scan your building and provide a 3D model is make-believe or out of your price range. However, this technology is ready for everyday use in a variety of applications.…

Generative Design is the ability of software to quickly generate multitudes of design iterations based on mathematical formulas, databases and computer scripts. Being able to explore limitless options allows designers to zero in and provide clients with the best possible options based on specific criteria for each project. The difference between Generative Design and Parametric…

With the help of 3D laser scanners and drones, Schemmer uses point cloud technology to create accurate and complete 3D models of existing site conditions. Point cloud technology is an invaluable resource for the visualization of complex environments such as mechanical/electrical utility rooms and central plants. Various 2D and 3D design models can be created…
