Abstract
According to some aspects, a method of designing an object based on a three-dimensional model representing a shape of the object is provided. The object may be fabricated from a plurality of materials having one or more known physical properties, wherein the object is designed to exhibit one or more target properties. The method may comprise determining a first composition of the object by providing the three-dimensional model as input to a reducer tree, determining one or more physical properties of the object with the first composition by simulating the object with the first composition, comparing the determined one or more physical properties with the one or more target properties, and determining a second composition of the object based on a result of comparing the determined one or more physical properties with the one or more target properties.
