AI-Powered Tennis Racquets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

All Design Lab Creates the Hìtëkw Racquet with the Help of AI

— May 2, 2023 — Lifestyle
All Design Lab designs the Hìtëkw, which is a unique tennis racquet that is fueled by artificial intelligent technology. It is actually created with a blend of AI-based tools in combination with generative design. At a glance, the racquet has a futuristic design language with a strong and lightweight build. To create the Hìtëkw, All Design Lab tapped the help of OpenAI and its Dall-E2 to create concept directions for its design.

From there, the duo built archetypes relying on new CAD tools. The team at All Design Lab state, “Rackets have become more lightweight and durable through new materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. Yet the potential is still there to envision an even lighter and stronger racket that takes advantage of new design techniques, specifically, advanced CAD processes such as generative design tools.”
