With AI, no Fusion user will be caught in “constraint Hell” and all their views will be automatically created and fully dimensioned.
For the problem of data silos, one software company, Sinequa, offers a solution. Leave the data where it is and connect to it using a search engine with a natural language interface. Like ChatGPT with a twist. ChatGPT may have read the world’s data, but Sinequa has read your company’s data.
TechSoft 3D, the company best known for the HOOPS 3D Graphics Engine has been content to stay out of the public eye most of its existence. HOOPS is licensed by several major CAD, CAM and CAE companies, but users have probably never heard of TechSoft 3D. Unlike geometry kernels. makers like Parasolid, no CAD company declared “powered by TechSoft 3D.” But starting in 2020, things were about to change.
After seeing so many releases during his time with the venerable MCAD program, what could excite Manish Kumar? Kumar, CEO of SOLIDWORKS for over two and a half years,started with SOLIDWORKS as a software developer in 1999.
FreeCAD has released its first release candidate (RC1) for version 1.0, marking a significant milestone for the open-source project that began over twenty years ago.This open-source parametric 3D modeler, forever in development, aims at a broad audience of hobbyists, designers, and perhaps even engineers—anyone for whom paying for solid modeling is an impediment.
In the ever-evolving world of engineering, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept confined to science fiction. It’s here, and it’s changing the way engineers approach design, problem-solving, and innovation. In this episode of the Being an Engineer podcast, we sat down with Kevin Surace, a renowned innovator, futurist, and AI expert, to discuss the immense potential AI holds for the engineering profession. Kevin’s insights not only reveal the capabilities of AI but also how engineers can strategically use AI tools to transform their work and the industries they serve.
