Maybe you believe generative design and artificial intelligence (AI) are years away—nothing to think about. If so, you’re not alone. In Protolabs’ recently released report, Product Development Outlook ...

Building 3D printed parts with artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize the design process by generating complex geometries that are lightweight yet strong. This can be difficult to achieve manually.

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.

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

Those involved in product development understand it is a deeply iterative process driven by strict timetables, and the path is riddled with trial-and-error ...

[Ric Real] is entering the 2023 Hackaday Prize with the Gen5X, a generatively designed 3D printed five-axis 3D printer. The concept is not a new one, with the type of construction being seen a few ...

The additive manufacturing workflow, originally conceived more than 40 years ago, has largely remained unchanged. Although 3D printing plays a key role in medical devices, microfluidics, bioengineered ...

When 3D printing was invented more than 40 years ago, it was a linear process, and its workflow remains essentially unchanged. Typically, users decide on a geometry to print, without precise knowledge ...

Rebuilder AI, LVMH, Perfect Corp and Stytrix show how generative AI is used in fashion, from product design to the customer ...

Image creators were among the first generative AI tools to capture the public imagination. Since then, the market has matured quickly, with AI image generators evolving from impressive technological ...

Charles Goulding and Lia Palumbo explore how 3D printing, scanning, and digital design are advancing equestrian equipment and ...
