Early concept work is constrained by how many structural options a small team can manually explore before committing to a direction.
The studio defined load cases, materials, and manufacturing constraints, then let a generative-design tool produce and rank thousands of candidate geometries.
Engineers shortlisted from the ranked set rather than starting from a blank sheet, compressing the concept phase by several weeks while widening the design space considered.
