# Manufacture-Ready Design Tools The MSC Software Corporation Released Generative Design Software By Daniel Johnson | Published 2020-07-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/msc-software-corporation References: [news-medical.net](https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200703/MSC-Software-releases-new-tool-to-help-surgeons-design-medical-devices-like-an-engineer.aspx) & [mscsoftware](https://www.mscsoftware.com/) The MSC Software Corporation, a computer engineering and simulation software company, recently released a new system named MSC Apex Generative Design 2020. The new system from the MSC Software Corporation can help engineers look at [other potential design options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-product-creation-platform) and it can help to optimize parts a design, at a rate that is 80% faster than standard design techniques. Efficiency is greatly increased because MSC Apex Generative Design 2020 will only show the design options that are ready to be manufactured. MSC's new [generative design system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aidriven-design) can also be run on the majority of laptops and create manufacture-ready designs within an hour. The software can also be integrated with other [manufacturing simulation tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simulation-platform), including Simufact Additive, and Digimat AM. Thomas Reiher, the Director of Generative Design for MSC Software, released a statement about the software, "Designers’ eyes light up when they use MSC Apex Generative Design because it thinks like them, improving parts with intelligent engineering decisions – only much faster."
