This Plexus concept, by industrial designer Subinay Malhotra, combines generative design and a host of proposed production methods, from metal 3D printing to casting. The end products are meant to be connectors for dowels.
Malhotra's laid out his thinking in detail:
"Goal: Developing a 3 dimensional joinery system to create modular units adapting to a range of products from furniture to architectural supports. Altering, designing and finishing metal forms into generative meshes, uniquely inspired by nature, incorporating material reduction and supporting sustainability."

I always see generative design solutions with these extreme complex patterns. I'm interested in seeing this tool being used in more realistic designs that people would actually buy and use in their home.
