With the increasing popularity of more user-friendly, elementary software packages such as Fusion360, more cost effective and efficient processes can be developed and harnessed, especially by SME’s and designers that don’t have the ability to purchase expensive software packages. One particular FEA element that has recently begun transitioning from highly specialised to more readily available is‘generative design ’ and ‘shape optimisation.’ Shape optimisation has only been able to be utilised by largecorporationswithlargeresearchanddevelopmentbudgets.Thiscasestudylooks Corresponding Author: Robert at exploring and optimising the methods involved in generative design for product Leen; email: development and it’s aimed at facilitating practises for small to medium enterprises rleen@deakin.edu.au (SME’s).

A blank model, free Received: 28 November 2016 of any discerning features was created from the scan and then used as the platform Accepted: 4 December 2016 for the generative design phase. This process was completed using easily accessible Published: 1 February 2017 software (Fusion 360) as well as high-end professional software (Ansys 16).
