or design engineers, accuracy and productivity in 3D modelling is vital for the success of digital designs.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has captured the attention of businesses across a wide range of industries, and while the use of generative AI tools is becoming more common the technology is still in its early stages. Despite its infancy the potential of generative AI is huge, garnering

the interest of large global players in the software sector. Autodesk is one of those names, having launched its experimental generative AI proof-of- concept project, Bernini, last year. The model operates by rapidly generating superior 3D shapes from a variety of inputs including a single 2D image, multiple images showing different views of an object, point clouds, voxels and text. The aim? To form the basis of generative models that can be
applied for different use cases across architecture, product design, entertainment, and much more. “Autodesk launched a new Fusion
feature in January that employs generative AI to create sketch constraints,” explains Daron Green, chief scientist at Autodesk. “This is a notoriously time-consuming, non-creative and error-prone task. We expect to see more productivity enhancements powered by generative AI like this in the future. Project
