Algorithmic Alchemy: The Convergence of Generative AI, Topology Optimization, and Lifecycle Assessment in Net-Zero Manufacturing
How the convergence of AI, Topology Optimization, and real-time LCA is transforming the DNA of sustainable production.
Abstract
This research explores the transition to 'Net-Zero Manufacturing' by integrating Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) data directly into generative design algorithms. By treating embedded carbon as a tangible design constraint, engineers can achieve a 'Shift Left'—moving sustainability audits from the end of the process to the earliest ideation phases. The paper deconstructs algorithmic logic like SIMP and BESO while analyzing how Deep Learning accelerates physics-based solvers.
