Generative AI / Visual & Shape Generation
AI-generated product visuals for marketing and strategy

Core capability
The technology speeds up early concept exploration by turning rough ideas into visual 3D form quickly, which is useful in the ideation stage even when the output is not yet engineering-grade CAD.
How it works
The user provides an idea in text or a visual reference, and the model gradually refines that input into a rough 3D concept that can be reviewed early in the design process.
Application here
AI creates presentable product visuals from text descriptions without requiring CAD work or designer availability.
Business impact
This helps marketing and strategy teams create visual materials earlier and work more independently from engineering.
Limitations
The visuals may not reflect real engineering constraints or final product form. They are useful for communication, but not as technical reference.
In production
This is already useful in concept work, where teams need to explore ideas quickly and communicate shape direction before investing in detailed engineering.
Research
The frontier is moving from fast visual concepts toward generated shapes that also respect practical engineering constraints such as manufacturability, structural logic, and assembly fit.
Examples
The All‒New Santa Fe: Connecting the World of Imagination with AI
Description: Hyundai Motors launched a production digital marketing campaign where users input text descriptions on a website to generate high-quality images of the Santa Fe SUV in dream destinations using generative AI, compiled into promotional videos for customer engagement.


AdVon Commerce improves online shopping with gen AI to deliver higher-quality product content
Description: AdVon Commerce implemented generative AI using Gemini and Veo for major retailers, generating lifestyle images and videos from product catalogs for marketing; a 93k-product sporting goods catalog saw 30% more top search ranks and 67% sales increase in 60 days.


Leading GenAI use cases to modernize manufacturing processes
Description: Harting deployed an AI-powered configurator in production where customers describe connector needs in natural language; AI generates precise specs and 3D visualizations for marketing/selection, reducing design time from weeks to minutes.
