Abstract
This study discusses the advantages of generative design tools, real-time calculation, and easy to modify and quick to review design details, to explore the feasibility of developing new modeling methods. The discussed method uses the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air as a typical type of minimal shape to test the possibility of product refinement, users’ response and the need of bridging software interfaces to a stable structure and rational limitations.
