Summary/Abstract: At present, one can encounter a large number of CAD systems in design practice. They are mostly CAD systems for creation and modification of a geometric model. Modelling new prototype components requires high flexibility. To achieve such flexibility, special tools and methods that are a part of generative design are used. Generative design is currently one of the new and rapidly evolving modelling technologies in computer aided design. The paper describes a new design approach and the software used for modelling components in a generative way of designing, with the possibility of interfacing it with software suitable for the creation of a robot control program for component production by additive technology.
