AI to Design World’s 1st recycled Aluminium Aston Martin

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): A ground-breaking, world-first research program is underway in the Midlands (England). The program will see automotive and aerospace cast components made lighter from 100% recycled aluminum for the first time. Coventry-based casting firm Sarginsons Industries and its wider team of research partners—including Aston Martin—have been awarded a $6.72 million matched grant by the Advanced Propulsion Centre and Innovate UK for its Performance Integrated Vehicle Optimisation Technology project (PIVOT). It is being described as a game changer in the production of all new vehicles, making them more sustainable, lighter, cheaper, and better performing.

Altair—a global leader in computational intelligence that provides software and cloud solutions in simulation, high-performance computing (HPC), data analytics, and AI—will work with Sarginsons to develop software that uses AI to produce organic designs of new chassis components for an existing Aston Martin model.

The software will provide a highly automated simulation-driven design process for new components, ensuring rapid development while reducing time to market and development costs. The new software’s natural, organic designs will actually increase component strength while reducing mass by simulating the part’s varying mechanical properties to put the right material in the right place.
