🔥 Unpopular Opinion: If you're still doing mechanical design without AI, you're designing with 20th-century handcuffs. We're at a design inflection point. The next generation of mechanical engineers won't be using generative design; they'll be defined by it. Why is Generative Design the non-negotiable shift for sustainable engineering? It's simple math: AI can explore thousands of material- and energy-optimized iterations faster than a human can explore ten. This isn't just optimization; it's a quantum leap toward true Net-Zero product design. Result 1: Designs that use the absolute minimum amount of material (minimal waste). Result 2: Structurally superior Parts (enhanced performance). Result 3: A significant, verifiable reduction in the environmental footprint across the entire product lifecycle. This isn't theory. This is the new standard for an eco-friendly future. 💡What are your biggest challenges in implementing sustainable practices?

I must say, enhancing my skills outside the academic curriculum has truly helped me translate models and simulations into visuals that are easier to understand and present. With software like Blender, I can go beyond regular CAD, replicating real-world environments, digitalizing them, and even running simulations such as ergonomic tests by incorporating all relevant factors to see how a situation would play out in real life. I recently applied these skills during a project at Gibela, where I used Blender to prototype and simulate ergonomic changes in one of the production processes, improving efficiency from 45% to 72%. This experience showed me how digital tools can drive real improvement in industrial systems. This video shows capabilities of the software, featuring a digital environment with humans interacting with it. To my fellow Industrial Engineering students; I encourage you to start investing in scaling yourselves beyond the classroom. The ability to merge creativity with engineering thinking opens up endless opportunities. 🌍💡 #IndustrialEngineering #Simulation #DigitalEngineering #Ergonomics #Blender3D #Innovation #LearningBeyondClass

🚀 In 2002, BYU professor Thomas W. Sederberg developed a new approach to 3D surface modeling: T-Splines. This breakthrough promised smoother, more flexible shapes for designers and engineers. By 2004, Tom’s son Matthew Sederberg and two former BYU students turned the idea into a startup. They bootstrapped from a small Utah office, winning NSF funding and launching a plug-in for the popular Rhino CAD software. Over the next few years, they expanded T-Splines into multiple design platforms, including SolidWorks, forging partnerships that bridged the gap between organic design and manufacturing. In late 2011, Autodesk acquired T-Splines, integrating the technology into tools like Fusion 360 and making the BYU-born innovation available to hundreds of thousands of designers worldwide. A few takeaways from this story: • Breakthrough research can start small but go global. • A tight, focused team can compete with giants. • University tech transfer can deliver massive real-world impact. 📌 Another great example of BYU innovation making waves far beyond campus. #BYU #TechTransfer #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #CAD #DesignEngineering #BYUSuccessStory

A recent Nature Heritage Science paper highlights one of the most promising directions: connecting CAD, XR, and robotic fabrication into a continuous digital-to-physical workflow for masonry restoration. https://lnkd.in/gFmcf-Rx “This approach transforms traditional manual restoration into a data-driven, computationally guided methodology by bridging digital retrieval, automated fabrication, and real-time expert collaboration.” “The Extended Automation System bridges the gap between modelling and physical prototyping… allowing seamless data transfer for physically augmented assembly.” As this translation layer between design and robotic execution becomes frictionless, the potential goes far beyond heritage restoration — into adaptive construction, retrofit automation, and real-time fabrication on site. This is where computational design, robotics, and construction intelligence converge — and where the next evolution of building is happening. #ConstructionTech #Robotics #Automation

Amazing stuff. High fidelity Building Information Model (BIM) is needed for design-supply chain-construction sync The issue is that it is really expensive to create highly detailed BIM. At Delta Flow, we believe that in order for this to happen BIM authoring needs to be automated.
