Engineers often use vision-language models to produce new designs, such as airplane or automobile components. To simulate how ...

Creating a realistic 3D model from a simple image remains surprisingly difficult for artificial intelligence.

An AI system turns 2D images into CAD designs, uses less computing power, learns from its mistakes, and helps make product ...

For decades, computer-aided design (CAD) has been the cornerstone of modern engineering. Yet much of the workflow still relies on manual repetition, rigid processes and human interpretation. Engineers ...

Are you ready to design a "molecular" machine? Software that is a distant cousin of conventional solidmodeling packages may turn today's designers into molecular engineers. The future of technology is ...

In some ways, it's the CAD industry's version of thoseage-old debates, like the one over Coke vs. Pepsi, or republican vs. democrat.As the discourse heats up over the merits of traditional parametric, ...

Software is eating another part of the world. (Or at least the next generation of software is eating the older 1970s-era kind.) Sunglass, which is coming out of beta today at TechCrunch Disrupt New ...

Onshape is revolutionizing CAD modeling as we know it. Apple is always talking about how many professions increasingly rely on the iPad for work, and developers Onshape have just added another: ...

Use AutoCAD's "Extrude" and "Revolve" commands to turn 2-D designs into 3-D models. "Extrude" is how 3-D modelers to refer to the technique of stretching a 2-D shape into 3-D space. AutoCAD performs ...

The B2B software industry is accelerating its transition to software-as-a-service, while industries increasingly adopt 3-D parametric modeling, simulation and collaboration solutions — transforming ...
