Generative Design for Formula 1 Car Design
How do you make a high-performance car part lighter without sacrificing strength? Using generative design. Anthony Ruto explains.
In Formula 1 racing, the difference between winning and losing is often a fraction of a second. Design details matter—every milligram, every millimeter. Anthony Ruto of Autodesk shares the story of how Autodesk partnered with Mercedes AMG Patronas Motorsport and used generative design to create parts that were both lighter and stronger.

Generative Design from SketchIt, FormIt, Dyno-BIM-It
The best tool for a designer is the pencil, be it lead or digital. This instructional demo led by Timothy Logan and Reeti Gupta explores the process of converting surfaces to BIM using FormIt, and bringing the results into Revit. After converting surface geometry with Dynamo you’ll eventually be using Project Fractal to iterate design options on the web.
