About AI.MGX
The AI stool is the first to be designed using a combination of 3D tools and artificial intelligence. Produced by selective laser sintering the chair consists of a cosmetic skin and intelligent Soft and hard structures. Like the biological structure and mechanism of bone, the artificial intelligence software knows where to create sufficient support.
AI stool is an intelligent product that growing in free space with an artificial intelligence 'DNA' code. This code contains all the information required to ensure that the object will transform perfectly from a virtual design into a 3D object that achieves the optimum strength or intelligent softness whilst maintaining the desired visual aesthetic.
The AI Stool designed to carry a load of 120kg on a sitting surface at a height of 40cm. The challenge was to design a form with the minimum volume required for a seat and then instruct the AI software to calculate the required support.
The AI stool top layer designed to be soft and cushiony. How can softness be simulated in the virtual environment? One of the great successes of this project was to generate and analyse virtual softness.
The final AI Stool met all of the mechanical requirements while only using 1/3 of the anticipated material.
This project importance is not only in the actual results, but also at the research and development of new intelligent materials, design aesthetics and production methods.
