Claudius Peters and Autodesk Generative Design [ENG] - YouTube Claudius Peters Group

Claudius Peters is widely recognized as one of the premier manufacturers of cement plant equipment. We sustain our competitive advantage through a continuous journey of innovation and investing in new technologies and new ways of doing things. Last year our digital team began experimenting with Autodesk’s generative design technology, which uses AI algorithms to generate design solutions according to your criteria (including weight, strength, material and manufacturability). We chose the Clinker Cooler, an essential piece of cement cooling equipment, for the first application because saving material is an important cost factor for this heavy, cast part. Our team set up the project by applying their various goals and constraints. Excited and surprised by the result, we began to explore our options. Additive manufacturing was out of the question given the scale. But, our team was able to take the result, reverse-engineer it back, using the simulation capabilities to validate the design, and create a final part that could be welded. This approach has not only reduced materials by 25% it improved the structural integrity of the cooler and inspired the team to explore where they can go next.
