An approach of generative design system: Jewelry design application

This paper proposes an approach of generative design system based on shape grammar for jewelry design applications. It aims to support designers in exploring shapes, and as a source of inspiration. Shape transformations in jewelry design process were studied to identify how shapes are transformed from one state to another. The transformations of curved outlines in a logical manner are explained through shape grammar and shape rules. The results of this study were used to develop a generative design system that applies transformations to primitive elements and creates new 3D new shapes based on a finite set of shape rules defined within a shape grammar. Examples of jewelry ring designs generated by the proposed approach are included in the paper.
