Protolabs, a digital manufacturing leader, collaborated with NASA engineers to showcase the power of AI-driven design at the PowerSource Global Summit. NASA challenged attendees to provide inputs for generative design of a prototype apparatus for collecting gas samples on the moon as part of the Artemis moon exploration missions. The crowdsourced constraints defined desired traits of the sample collection container, ensuring it was machinable while meeting strict size requirements.
NASA's generative design software produced a CAD file, which Protolabs manufactured in their digital factory. The goal was to deliver the part within two days. Protolabs successfully completed the project, delivering the part in less than 36 hours. This demonstration highlighted the potential of generative design to reduce development time while meeting spaceflight constraints, with Protolabs serving as a key partner in bringing the part to life.
