An interesting factoid about computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing is that 70% of all 3D mechanical CAD/CAM systems can trace their roots to CAD pioneer Patrick Hanratty ’s original ...

Why does anything have to change? A manufacturing company’s most critical product decisions are made every day in design reviews. And if you assess the state of what a design review looks like today, ...

What’s changing: AI design copilots are becoming embedded in engineering toolchains, enhancing CAD and simulation rather than replacing them. Why it matters: Teams can iterate faster, spot trade-offs ...

New engineering playbook: AI design copilots are enabling continuous iteration and system-level thinking, moving beyond traditional linear CAD workflows. Intelligence layer emerges: Rather than ...

Computer Aided Design (CAD), which since the late 1980s has been the bedrock of how manufacturers design, test, and make their products. GenAI’s ability to create CAD models from simple text marks a ...

Software engineers have a host of tooling to organize their projects, chief being Git software like GitLab or GitHub, but hardware engineers today lack that same organizing principle. They are stuck ...

A brief history of CAD. The top players in the CAD market. Where AI and other technological innovations fit into design and engineering’s future. The computer graphics industry started with the ...

Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...
