Text-to-CAD tools are beginning to generate useful 3D models from prompts, but the most important missing feature is not geometry — it is intent.

Blender doesn't ship with a STEP importer. Step 2 Blend brings production-quality CAD import to the platform: analytic NURBS normals, real materials, mesh-instance dedup for assemblies, and ...

This startup has developed an AI copilot for mechanical engineers. At the heart of the innovation is a Large Mechanical Model (LMM), a patented AI system that understands real CAD data. Leo AI is a ...

The Vitamix 5200 was one of the first products I reviewed at CNN Underscored that made me take a step back and consider the value of investing in higher-quality kitchen appliances. More than two years ...

Amazon's retail business is closely tracking how often software engineers use AI and how that influences output, all while navigating resistance from parts of its workforce. An internal document ...

Abstract: The paper investigates the paradigm shift in engineering through the lens of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), tracing its evolution from Ivan Sutherland's visionary insights to contemporary ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Finding a mechanical keyboard that you can use in an office is tough. They can be ...

A fascinating proof-of-concept shows how CAD could be done via AI in the future. Today we’ve seen AI tools enter the 3D modeling space with either text-to-3D or image-to-3D solutions. Text or images ...

Having faced continuous drone attacks by Iran and its proxies over the last two years, the US military is responding by standing up its first one-way attack drone squadron in the Middle East — and ...

MIT engineers are developing an AI model that can operate CAD software the same way a human designer does. The system takes a 2D sketch and turns it into a 3D model by clicking buttons and navigating ...
