As an engineer I just wanted to pipe in and say that this AI removes the part of design that isn’t actually the difficult part.

The difficult part is the manufacturing, also coming up with the plausible load paths and deciding on the geometry of the parts according to the actual loads.





As an engineer, I can confirm that this AI (if it works well) would compress the prototyping stage significantly, resulting in a better product at reduced cost.

It would help with that as well.

Beyond having a cad file where there wasn’t one… how?


But can you really confirm it?

Have you even used it and know if it does what it claims?

Sorry, you can't confirm shit.


I’ll bet they’re not a mechanical/manufacturing/etc. engineer.

Remove the boilerplate and focus on the value adding parts is the philosophy that actually happens in software development ai usage, so it might be useful elsewhere as well.

This is being AI’d as well: https://limitlesscnc.ai/
