Computer-aided designs, such as this model of a fingertip-sized heart pump, can reduce the number of physical prototypes that must be made. Computer-aided design (CAD) is a tool intended to facilitate ...

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 ...

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 ...

The aerospace and electronics industries have long applied computational models to not only design airplanes and chips, but also to simulate and optimize their performance. There have, until recently, ...

If recent mergers and acquisitions have offered any indication, consolidation among CAD, CAE and CAM have been greatly accelerated by artificial intelligence and machine learning. Indeed, according to ...

Some methods that can improve the process include examining prints and removing information that distracts from the engineers’ design intent. An innovative approach to design intent looks at geometric ...
