Toyota Motor Corporation recently tried <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/generative-design-extension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">generative design in Autodesk Fusion 360<\/a> to find ways to free up more room via seat frame design.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shinsuke Omori is a project manager in the Interior Design Department, Vision Design Division at Toyota. \u201cWhen I realized that generative design was being used in race-car suspensions, I thought it was interesting,\u201d he says <a href=\"https:\/\/redshift.autodesk.com\/articles\/generative-design-seat-frame\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in a recent Redshift article<\/a>. \u201cIt could come up with shapes that human designers would never have thought of, yet the requirements are met, so the cars are light and strong.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"safety-first\">Safety first<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When prioritizing the parameters for a seat frame, safety is always at the top of the list. Weight reduction, comfort, strength, and sustainability are also required for a successful design. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/5-tips-editing-generative-design-studies\/\">generative design<\/a> in Fusion 360, new options and patterns began to emerge. Collaborating with in-house engineers, Toyota is using generative design to evolve the design even further.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team is also keeping potential installation and production methods in mind. Right now, it requires 3D printing, while current seat frames are produced with established manufacturing processes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs we have gained a lot of knowledge from this project, I think there are possibilities to make it happen,\u201d Omori says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about Toyota\u2019s journey with generative design in Fusion 360 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/redshift.autodesk.com\/articles\/generative-design-seat-frame\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Redshift article here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More Legroom?
