Geolus Search software can track the geometry of parts stored in several databases and find needed shapes in the blink of an eye, working from either simple text descriptions or approximate geometry.

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 ...

Solid modeling is great for visualizing ideas but it's often misapplied in finite-element analysis. One of the latest methods of slashing development time is to use the 3D models that CAD users create ...

Whether it’s a 3D printed robot chassis or a stained glass window, looking at a completed object and trying to understand how it was designed and put together can be intimidating. But upon closer ...

Today's digital exchange of part data between CAD and CAM consists primarily of nominal geometry and not the part specifications necessary for automated manufacturing. The STEP-NC format contains all ...

Valve has released the mechanical CAD geometry for the Steam Controller under a Creative Common license. Files covering all the joypad's externally visible parts are provided, allowing users to edit, ...

Neural Concept has announced the launch of its AI Design Copilot, which it claims is the first system to combine spatial reasoning, physics awareness and CAD-ready geometry generation at enterprise ...

At Autodesk University 2025 (AU 2025), Autodesk unveiled its upcoming 3D generative AI foundation models for Fusion and Forma, marking a significant step forward in design and make technology. These ...
