FAI and Aisin Takaoka Begin Joint Development of Cast-Parts Design System
The partnership applies AI-driven design exploration to casting, a traditional manufacturing process, potentially shortening automotive part development cycles by addressing multiple performance constraints early.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
FAI Inc., a Nagoya University startup, and Aisin Takaoka Co., Ltd. have started joint development of a multi-objective design exploration system for cast parts. The system combines FAI's topology optimization and AI design exploration with Aisin Takaoka's casting expertise to automatically generate and evaluate design proposals, aiming to reduce rework and development time.
FAI's Φ-Designer system can automatically run design and simulation for over 1,000 cases. In the joint development, this is paired with Aisin Takaoka's casting expertise to create a system that accounts for castability from the initial design stage. The approach aims to reduce rework and shorten development periods for automotive parts, ultimately strengthening Japanese manufacturing competitiveness.
