Just look at some of the AI designed parts in F1. These highly efficient parts are going to get a lot more organic looking as time goes on.

Yeah I mean, the reason "organic" things "look organic" is inherently because they conformed to their shape using largely the same type of mechanisms these AI designed parts use.

So it makes sense and is super cool.

The really fancy part is the design process can include "is easy to manufacture with 3d printers without supports" as part of its training set

So you can end up with these optimized organic looking parts that can also easily "print in place" from industrial machines

Organic is usually the most efficient design.

biomimicry is gonna be part of the next wave of AI designs.

Imagine living in a house that is organically designed to be heat retaining and cool in summer.

H.R. Giger was on to something

In engineering it's called topology optimization. It's been around for 10-15 years. Not exactly new, but it is exciting to see where it leads with new methods of manufacturing, i.e. 3D printing.

The future will look like:

X Basic shapes

X Smooth curves

This is very intriguing. If this is the future of engineering, we are in for many, many surprises.
