He considers the latest technological developments such as 3-D printing and the use of innovative materials such as bioplastics. He also examines the capabilities and potential of CAD-based design optimization, AI and machine learning-driven generative design processes. The book features case studies by pioneering, contemporary and historical designers and includes an illustrated directory of materials and manufacturing processes.
