As someone already stated, AI is improving exponentially. It is extremely hard to make predictions but I ve been in design for over 25 years and lately, I find it overwhelming the amount of changes / improvements that are happening as a designer. CAD tools will be impacted a lot earlier than we think. I believe that within 2 years we ll see major changes in the CAD industry.
I hope so because there are hundreds of thousands of people doing basically monk labour on computers creating documents. Yes it beats drawing a piece of parchment with chinese ink and it is necessary to create asbuilt plans, manuals, etc... But if AI can for example take voice input, make suggestions, follow example files, do checks, standardize layers... I spent days clicking through lines to join them. These are very laborious processes with a great deal of potential optimisation with AI. The optimisation could just come from better CAD software in itself and it already hasbto a degree. But huge potential.
As a human copywriter, I’d say the subject matter AI is already making people anxious that the constant quick jumps further disorients the viewer. We trained ceos in our company using the Ted talks style to give people enough time to absorb the message.
When I started in the design department in 1993, there were 8 people. I started on the drawing board. Then he started in 1995 AutoCAD and Catia V4. The design department decreased to 4 people and did more work. After a few years, Catii V4 and AutoCAD replaced Catie 5. Of the 8 people, we ended up on two with greater productivity and more complicated geometry. The advent of modern parametric CAD system reduced the number of designers and the onset of artificial intelligence implemented in these CAD systems will lead to another even greater reduction in the number of designers.
Well this is what ChatGPT said. "It is unlikely that AI will completely replace CAD (Computer-Aided Design) designers in the near future. While AI and machine learning algorithms have made significant advancements in recent years, they still have limitations when it comes to creating complex designs. CAD designers have a strong understanding of design principles and can apply their creativity and expertise to produce unique and innovative designs..."
I will give a complex 2D DRAWING to AI. No son of mother can write code for AI which will convert complex 2D TO 3D. Human interfere is highly recommended and no can stop it.
@@northwind6199 AI can code as code can can generate new code but build a new critical surface as per demand is next to impossible. So AI can code but can not do instant modifications in CAD model as per demand of stack holders 😆
AI will replace neither programmers nor CAD designers. It will simply be a useful tool to be more productive for small code or component portions. As soon as you approach a complex problem, you need to give it so much structure, constraints, directions, originality that finally you end up typing 'not like this, do this...' a million times. Its simply not effective for big problems. Just a hype.
If we had the same "marketing" people back when CAD was released, CAD would be called Computer Artificial Drafting. The reality of CAD is that it is an advancement over pencil lead, vellum paper, drafting table, triangles, and an electric erasing machine. The computer line's cannot draw itself. Ofcourse, there is solid modeling...don't get me started on that.
I understand your sentiment @trexinvert. The name and terminology around technology often gets driven by marketing efforts and sometimes might not fully encompass the technical aspects or evolution of that technology. In the case of CAD, or Computer-Aided Design, it signifies a shift from traditional drafting methods to using digital tools, a shift that has been significant in fields like architecture, engineering, and design. The 'aided' aspect in the name indicates that the computer is a tool assisting in the design process, not doing the design autonomously. As for solid modeling, it represents yet another leap in technology, allowing us to create three-dimensional objects digitally, and aiding in complex calculations, simulations and visualizations that would be extremely difficult or impossible to do manually. Regardless of the terminology used, the underlying value is the impact these technologies have on improving design processes, fostering creativity and enhancing productivity. That being said, your point about the possible misconceptions around the term "Artificial" in "Computer Artificial Drafting" is an interesting one, and I appreciate your thought-provoking comment!
I also see AI scanning objects such as old 2d pdfs drawings into CAD software with native part history and linked drawing with views being super useful and replacing a lot of grunt work of archival work or bring old designs into the modern work flow
Yes, AI-assisted scanning and conversion of old 2D drawings into CAD software can be a game-changer in terms of improving efficiency and productivity. With the help of AI, it's possible to automate the process of scanning and digitizing old 2D drawings, and then convert them into fully editable 3D CAD models with part history and linked drawings.
CAD was supposed to replace draftsmen, today draftsmen are CAD operators. AI may replace some aspects of design but it will likely create a whole new category of careers.
@@with-Aryan yes with a good draftsman it is possible. As I mentioned though while it was thought it would replace people it actually created a new category of careers.
I do not believe AI will replace CAD designers, but it will challenge those to accept AI as a complimentary feature. And for those CAD designers who do not adopt the AI will be replaced with those who know how to use it...........at least to some extent. We can see in assembly and manufacturing where robots have replaced certain job roles, but also prepared new roles for people to receive a more technical training in operating and fixing robots. JMHO.
Im mechanical engineer, my response is CAD and taking care about the drawing, Chat GPT now cannot replacing me, but In nearly future they would become our soulmate like the smart phone or some artificial companion, now their jobs help me calculating something or find the journal and references I dont mind that they can or cannot change my way but surely , Asking your self the evolution of them are exactly rise and where are we, the humanity where are we will standing when that time comes against or together.
probably AI can't model, but it can help with 2D drawings. As an example, sheet metal drawing is a pretty annoying and simple process sometimes taking a lot of time. With some automation, it can be done with AI according to the requirements. The only question how it needs to be programmed and combined with SW?
It could be amazing to teach the AI how to 3d model basic stuff like saying : Put all threads that were missing in my cad 3d model or based on this 3d model do a futuristic design like similar to filters for photos but it needs to APPEAR IN THE DESIGN TREE . Make a 3d model of 3 possible ways to sketch a robot that can do a specific task . Future is amazing !
Yes. My friend was fired recently they gave her a grey excuse, but in reality, someone in her office (who didn't like her really) was secretly training on AI options and made her redundant. And that, in a small architectural studio in some small insignificant place. Imagine what will happen in large studios.
that new tool you described to drag and push solids with organics shapes, just made it even easier for AI to interface with 3D modeling. Like we will see AI integration explode after that tool is refined I guarantee it. Assemblies will always be the major hurdle to overcome, programing all the various assembly constraints would be too much. But i could see scanning objects and AI creating solids with that new tool like lightening fast.
ปีที่แล้ว
Just get AI to mine a similar assembly and build knowledge from it. Then build another similar assembly from ai. And so on on on on and on... Like infinite learning.
Yes, the new tool you're referring to, which allows for the easy creation of organic shapes, could certainly make it easier for AI to interface with 3D modeling. As you mentioned, scanning objects and using AI to create 3D models with this tool could greatly improve the efficiency and speed of the modeling process.

I already have plenty of ideas to replace draftsmen, I think AI will start doing pdf drawings from the 3d model and at some extent the drawing environment will be a secondary tool.
Because it affects CAD Designers if at least not replacing them. So the contribution in reducing the CAD designer's workload can be significant, which means now CAD designers need to update themselves with new skills.@@with-Aryan
AI technology cannot replace the skills and knowledge of a human mechanical designer. AI can be a tool to assist in the design process, but it cannot fully replace the creative thinking, problem-solving abilities, and understanding of design principles that a human designer possesses.
If Midjourney can produce the art of such a great quality i would not be surprised if 3d shapes could be created as well, using the same method, inputting a phrase "aluminium platform ladder 2m high, with side rails". i fully believe this could be achieved, where we could expand is with a maths engine that you could tell it, "it needs to support 150kg" "apply the ladder and stair design priciples to the design". An Engine is probably abit of an over reach, but simple mechanical designs or structural steel frames can surely be created. But great advise, on become great at what you do, as well as learning the new technology. if it does replace your job, it still needs someone to drive it, it will just make your job alot more efficient.
I wholeheartedly agree with your perspective. The potential for AI to transform not just digital art, but 3D design and engineering principles is tremendous. However, the development and integration of an efficient 'maths engine' that can intelligently interpret and apply design standards based on verbal cues is a challenging task. The technology is moving in this direction though, and I believe we'll see AI being able to handle increasingly complex tasks in the not-too-distant future.
The whole point of AI is easier the tasks, not make them more difficult. There is no point of making AI tool complicated to use like CAD softwares (which are "dumb" and need ALL the inputs from the user). That means the day AI is all over, everyone will be able to use it with a little learning. Currently it is in a very early stage and everything we know now about AI will surely change in a way that we cant ever picture. So panicking or rushing makes no sense to me. So for now relax, enjoy your job, do your best and enjoy life. The day AI use is mandatory everyone will be able to use it.
Nobody going to loose their job. We all are in the perfect age group (25-30s) to remember that in the late 1970s to late 1980s, people in except USA and UK and some European countries were protesting against computers, for example in banking where accountant would lose her job because nobody's going to use registers anymore. But the accountant evolved and learnt computer and got accustomed. Similarly now all artists and writers are going to augment their skill set with AI.
In my line of work, in Land Survey and Mapping, we can get auto linework, which is already around prior to ai, that may smooth edges and refine the drawing but it wont ever be able to draft through bad shots or piecey located 3d hardscapes. This drafting is, afterall, modeling the real world instead of designs.
as a cad designer I WOULD LOVE to stop punching my monitor while getting 10 errors just cause i drew a line ... and actually tell the damn computer : do this do that , change the size . Not even mentioning that u have do make all the FEM simulations on the part and find the perfect material for it to be made of . The perfect day would be to turn on my pc , wave my hands and insult the damn program however i want :)))) and after a few minutes to have the part done with all the simulations documented .
I can understand your frustration it comes from some flaw in the knowledge that you might have so the program is not programmed to generate errors randomly it must have a reason and once you get a hold of those reasons and solve it in advance you can prevent all those errors
April 23, 2023---I'm REALLY hoping that I'll be able to use A.I. & CAD. I build models and have been trying to learn CAD and it's been kicking my ass. Maybe because I'm 70 and this old dog is unable to learn a new trick. Got a lot of kits that I'd like to add resin detail to, which is my wanting to learn CAD, along with creating new figures.
Why don't you join my course?! You'll love it and you have my word for it. If you didn't, get a full refund, I won't hold it against you. You'll find the link under all my videos! or just courses.solidworkstutorials.net
The real difference, in my own perspective, is similar to the clothing industry. If you want a hand stitched, perfectly measured and highly sophisticated suit, get a real tailor to make it. If you want something off the shelf that other people will also have, go to a store. The human designer is like the tailor, and the Ai is like the store. That's just the way I see it.
I think for some designers, a hybrid skillset will evolve. Engineering specs to a finished CAD drawing with no human in between is unlikely, but this does bias toward the engineer. Simply because, there needs to be a human or legal entity to shoulder liability for the part. So, the split between an engineer feeding specs to a designer will still stay, but the toolset you use may alter and split, where there's an interim job of "AI assisted CAD specialist" that is familiar with AI infused Generative Design, or, even, a computer programmer like design language that specifies a part for CAD to rough-mock up, and eliminate part of the manual work a CAD designer would normally do. It'd be wise to keep atop of this trend, because it will give you flexibility. Even with that, I can see plenty of parts or designs that will be too difficult for AI-assisted processes to help with, that will still need an actual designer to do the most of the work. But that generative element of refining and optimizing the designs will expand, as computational power at the workstation keep increasing and making the time and cost for this more economical.
Designers will likely evolve with hybrid skillsets, incorporating AI and automation. The collaboration between engineers and designers will persist, but the tools and workflows may change. AI-assisted design and generative elements will expand, but human expertise will remain crucial for complex designs. Stay flexible and keep up with emerging trends for greater opportunities. Regener
We will first see a time in the near future where you will have cheaper and faster products made hands free, it will then come to the manual works to prove their worth, there will be a niche market, like Bugatti which exclusively still hand makes their cars.
Well said and spot on, as a Visual Artist working in a agency space, Ai is powerful and I salivate at the thought of what's to come, but Ai wont replace you, it will replace those not using it and those that shouldn't be in certain careers, basically a big equalizer
I'm an architectural Draftsman, I don't think AI can draw a custom idea off of a human mind. At least not anytime soon lol. Good luck to the software engineers etc out there.
For example, AI tools can help with tasks such as automating repetitive tasks, generating 3D models from 2D designs, and optimizing building designs for energy efficiency. Additionally, AI can help architects and designers analyze large amounts of data and simulate different scenarios to inform design decisions. That being said, it's important to recognize that AI is not a replacement for human creativity and innovation in the field of architecture. Rather, it can be seen as a tool that can augment and enhance the capabilities of architects and designers. As technology continues to advance, it will be interesting to see how AI and other emerging technologies continue to impact the field of architecture and design.
The only thing AI can't replace is human's imagination...Designing is completely based on imagination and AI can just help to speed-up the work and give suggestions up to some extent, at the end humans need to fix the errors, deside and finalize the product. Don't think too much it wont happen until AI imagines by its own and if it happens its the end of human beings on the planet, because "it can imagination the life without humans" 🤖 THAT'S ALL.....
Projects are often undefined at the start and only experience can move things along. You can't improve unless you know the target. The automotive industry sometimes requires you to build it first and design it later. I'm not concerned....yet. I am interested in what it can do tho.
Experience plays a vital role in navigating undefined projects. Understanding the target and having a flexible approach are key. In industries like automotive, building before designing can be necessary. While AI has potential, its current capabilities are best utilized in specific tasks. Exploring AI's possibilities is exciting.
For fucks sake, starting a nonlinear simulation is still difficult, let alone asking an AI to give a reasonable answer to an engineering problem! AI will be a tool, not a replacement of us.
You are correct that starting a nonlinear simulation can be difficult, and that AI will likely be a tool for engineers rather than a replacement. While AI has made some advances in the field of simulation, it is not yet advanced enough to fully replace human expertise and decision-making. Engineering simulations often require complex problem-solving skills and domain-specific knowledge that AI has yet to fully acquire. However, AI can assist engineers in performing simulations more efficiently and accurately, and can help identify trends and patterns in large datasets that would be difficult for a human to discern. Ultimately, AI is best viewed as a complement to human expertise, rather than a replacement for it.
What i will like AI to do in CAD is that, when i design a house, it should tell me if it can withstand earthquakes in my area. Then based on the answer, i will alter my design.
@@with-Aryan Thanks for replying. I will consider buying it in near future. I like modeling cars and not long ago i moved to Alias so maybe i will get a job in similar field some day. ^__^ Keep doing what you doing because you are on the right path and your videos are really good i am pretty sure that for those who decide to purchase some things from your page and are new in SW world will get a lot of useful knowledge!
I barely even do the topology optimization. I think they are only relevant for application that really really chase specific strength (aerospaces parts), even then you are still limited by your metal printer
As a CAD designer of over 20 years, working from road cars to military vehicles to F1 and LMP, I have to pipe up about the over 40 years old comment... So, you seem to use solidworks? Are you currently able to use an API or accepted language to automate any of your work? I am and I'm touching 50. I use Catia and have extensively played with ChatGPT, it only seems to understand the VBA element of scripting and it is utter shite at that. Maybe for basic coding it is very powerful [I've played with it for GIS and OSM as a side project and it still has flaws] Do you truly understand CAD, or is this a clickbait venture? I'd love to hear your thoughts, because, even using Catia's inherent optimisation systems, you still need an overriding knowledge of the systems you are working on and the deeper knowledge of the whole engineering space. Backed up with a solid understanding of engineering principles. TL;DR AI is sweet at easy shit, not at the complex world
From the sound of it, if only one of us truly knows CAD, it'd be you. In the past 16 years I've been working with it, I understand enough to get myself from point A to point B. But the good thing is, you can position that point B almost anywhere and I'll still find a way to reach it. I am a mechanical (biomedical) engineer by practice. I haven't worked on those large vehicles you have, though I've worked and designed heart valves and stents in the realms of Microns i.e. pretty much on the other side of the spectrum of military vehicles I'd assume. So I don't know, you might actually be completely right, or the truth could lie somewhere between our opinions. Eitherway, it's truly an honor for me to have a viewer of your statur. I salute you. Thanks for watching and many thanks for your valuable feedback
CAD software companies already monitor keystrokes and base their new features based on what they monitor.. the creation of macros, lisp routines, parametric modeling etc already do the same to a degree.one has to have ownership of the routines and document it well enough so that the next contractor can modify it and reuse the code.
You are correct that CAD software companies may collect data on user behavior to improve their software and add new features. However, it's important to note that user privacy is a concern and software companies should handle user data ethically and transparently. As for creating macros, lisp routines, and other customized features, documenting and organizing the code well is important for future use and modification. This can help increase productivity and efficiency for the user and their team.
It was already here with the generative design, but to make useful design by itself it needs to know about higher concepts and as we know ChatGpt is not a contender in this space !
Agree with most. Do not agree with the "age 40" statement. I am over 40, and I have friends and coworkers over 40, and we all know and use AI software tools. I think people using any design related computer software regularly know about AI tools, and most use them at various depth. Photoshop can pick the subject out of a photo which is an AI based feature. Graphic designers and photographers using somewhat newer versions of Photoshop are probably all using this feature.
Thank you for your perspective, and I absolutely agree. Age does not limit one's ability to adapt to new technologies. I apologize if my statement seemed to suggest otherwise. Your comment underlines the fact that professionals across different age groups are utilizing AI in their fields, which is encouraging and inspiring. As you rightly pointed out, many popular design and photo editing software now include AI-based features, making them accessible to a wide range of users. I appreciate your input!
Creative people like poets, story writer etc. also thinking same way before chat gpt now they were first to replace ....so never underestimate technology
I'm a hobby 3D printer user. I'm only interested in AI making simple STL files for me because I'm just so bad at auto CAD. 🤷♂️ things like "design a bird house in multiple pieces that can connect together"
oh that'd be a nice day! and I'm looking forward to it. But it's not here yet! until then, you can learn, or sit down and wait for that day! I recommend the former King!
I have been working more intensively with A.I. for a few months now. I had to make a decision for myself. I was a technician in the aerospace industry for 20 years and then progressed to become a CAD-designer. I worked in different companies and with different CAD programs, recently with Solidworks...it's quickly becoming my favorite CAD program, but to be honest I'm not really good, way too slow. So in my timeline, it's smarter to go back to my old specialty - bridging the gap between theory and practice and making the machines run... with my hands and my experience. It will take a little longer, before androids can replace me in this matter 😉 But I think your case it's different, you're a master in solidworks and people will be needed, who have A.I. implement it in the CAD world in such a way, that it will work correctly and purposefully in the end. I think you could have a great future in this field. I hope, there will be a CAD-program someday, designed from you in coorperation with a strong A.I. I'm sure, it would be revolutionary for mankind 😉
There are indeed AI plug-ins and tools available that can assist with converting 2D designs into 3D models or CAD drawings in SolidWorks. Some examples include: Scan2CAD - This tool uses AI and OCR technology to convert scanned images, PDFs, or hand-drawn sketches into vector formats, including DXF, DWG, and SVG, which can then be imported into SolidWorks. Pix2CAD - This software uses deep learning algorithms to automatically convert raster images into CAD models. It can produce 3D models in various formats, including STL, STEP, and IGES, which can then be imported into SolidWorks. Sketch2CAD - This plug-in uses AI to convert 2D sketches into 3D CAD models in SolidWorks. It can also convert hand-drawn sketches into 3D models. It's important to note that while these tools can be helpful in converting 2D designs into 3D models or CAD drawings, they may not always produce accurate or high-quality results. It's still important to have a solid understanding of SolidWorks and 3D modeling techniques in order to produce the best possible results.
wow 3d Sculpture is exactely what is missing from Solidworks to be the perfect cad software, but why it is not available for the desktop version ? I really hope for it to be included as a plug-in :(
seriously, its like NX parametric functions to just move surfaces but on steroids creating meshes and being able to move those dots instead. That is a shame its not on desktop yet, would def want to play around with it at work
I believe there are too many variables, I'm sure AI could offer solutions on a single part level but integration into an assembly is a different animal. It's not going to get you a working design. It will be a tool we can use but it won't replace us.
Creative designers will likely never be replaced. AI will do a great job automating a lot of the CAD design grunt work, but will fail when asked "come up with a new way to pump liquid..." or whatever. AI will find many variations on what has been done in the past, but not many out of the box solutions. I have worked on AI CAD since the 1980s as a PhD candiidate an as an automatic machinery designer since. No f'ng way.
Dear Friends, Dont make Artificial intelligence a severe threat, Ai is based on a small part of a human brain with never tiring skills. Human brains are designed in such a way with more creative knowledge and adapting ability. Ai learns from what humans discovered and those AI engines acts to be slave and will have a master control interacted only by humans. AI is a tool to make humans life easy, CAD & Graphic designers will get more out of it as it is gonna make an advanced development in the Designing industry. It will have an impact on the workforce but not in major. Only the workforce from Accounting & Finanace will get replaced drastically by Advanced AI. Programmers will be still having scope to maintain and secure the AI engine and other advanced programs.
Thank you for your insightful comment. You're absolutely right, AI is a tool developed to assist and enhance human capabilities, not replace them. While some jobs might be affected, new opportunities, especially in programming, cyber-security and AI ethics will emerge. This evolution calls for adaptability and continuous learning from us all.
In fields where there are a overwhelming amount of people that have created a large amound of data, and have limited variables for creation; AI will have overwhemling data to put together, overwhelming amount of examples of what worked and didn't, and there are limited variables for true innovation request from consumers... In these fields AI will replace a very large majority of them. That one person that always seems to pull a rabbit out of their hat on any project, and that one person that can sell anything to anyone. Those people stay. Everyone else should be sweating.
In the 1990s the AutoCAD salesmen told us that one CAD technician will replace 8 draftsmen, in the future. Today when you walk into an architect's office you still see the same number of draftsmen but, they are all using AutoCAD. So it was all marketing bullshit. That is what i think A.I. is. Marketing B.S. They just want to pull the money out of our pockets. When a good architect begins his design, he doesn't have a clue what he is going to do. How should A.I. know?
You will see the same number of people, but you will not see the same volum of output, but much bigger, much faster, much more accurate with less amount of error. The fact that the number of architects hasn't changed, doesn't mean the company is producing the same amount of work as back in 1990s, and certainly, not the same quality and speed! It only means, they could afford the same number of people, because they are able to pick up many more projects at the same time!
@@with-Aryan The work with computers has many drawbacks which cancel out the speed and other ostensible advantages which the computer brings. Bad draftsmen and designers still do crappy drawings because they don't have enough talent to visualize the problems which they are supposed to be solving. Speed is one of the reasons why the design work is just as bad as before computers. Things are done fast and bad because there is no patience for resolving details properly. Another problem is that the boss cannot see the drawings, as they are being prepared, like in the old days where large drawings were done on large drafting tables. In the past, the boss was more aware of potential mistakes being made by the draftsman because they could study the drawings on the tables. There are many other problems with computers which the industry simply ignores.
It can't replace CAD designers on pro level, even if you make the AI do the hard work, in the end you will always need pro CAD designers to control, double and triple check and test every part. But I believe AI can help amateurs a lot. I myself, have an idea to design my own PC case, but I can't precisely design it, and as unemployed myself, I can't pay anyone to design it for me, and also I can't pay monthly and yearly expensive fees for designing tools to start from level 0 and design the thing myself. I wish there wasn an AI I could point what I want, where I want and how I want and let the AI do the calculations for sizes, distances, thickness, bends and drillholes, so I could order a laser cut online from a metal sheet, and assemble at my home.
I am a student of last year of my school ... I want to pursue my career in field of 3D designs, cad something like that...... but I really don't have any idea what type of college, degree, course..... should I get like what to do next after school..... since so many seniors in the comments are sharing their knowledge..... please guide and suggest me with some knowledge in this field.......😊
@@with-Aryan I wouldn't say that's a good reason to not provide a free version. I used GPT-4 for a while, but I didn't mind going back to GPT-3.5 when my budget couldn't handle it anymore.

Its going to come into a combination of things, not just CAD, but add in Design which means feasibility and ease of manufacturing, which intentions not only to reduce material waste GD&T will play a big role in this, apart from this reduce overall product runtime.
I feel like a node base approach is the good way to drive CAD. We just need to make it work with Solidworks. I am currently reviewing Obsidian canvas and hope to use to generate events that will drive Solidworks via its API.
@@short-shorts Geometry nodes in Blender is starting to look really good. It has niche applications but it can handle huge clouds of points from scientific data in an excel sheet or text file.

Good work on the video and very informative. Here is my idea. You can see my boat on my channel Sailing With Gusto, it's a Cal 28.2. I want to make an aluminum arch for it to hold 2 solar panels and possibly a small wind turbine. Also I want it sufficiently raked off the Stern so I could use it for davits and provide some shade while I'm at the helm. I also want it to look cool. I want it similar to the arch on an Ovni 43 sailboat.
Mainly you will have to first improve your knowledge on Machine elements, how to design them based on calculations. So that they fit with other standard machines.
I want to learn solid works or cad in general but I have no clue where to start because all programs are expensive and it seems like there aren’t any beginner recourses to learn. Any help from anyone on what I should do to start learning cad would be much appreciated.
I'd start with FreeCAD. It is difficult to learn, but once you do, Solidworks will be a lot easier. You can also go the trial route and learn different CAD applications like Fusion 360. Alibre Atom is a great option if you want to own and not rent your tools. If you break it down into steps, you will want to learn 1. Planes, Sketches and constraints 2. Extruding, revolving, patterns, filleting 3. Before diving into Lofting and Surfacing, it really helps to learn about spline continuity. Once you get good at those basics you can start hopping from one application to another.
@@with-Aryan When AI collects enough of data from past projects, it will be able to do it on its own projects for every software...AI will have the necessary data to conduct its own projects.
@@with-Aryan it’s not that it’s long, 3dexperience cannot be advertised in 30 seconds, but the video is too short for such ad, and it does not even match the context of ai
Automation is ALREADY HERE with CAD software....it's just a matter of applying the available automation tools to comprise your workflow. You will shiet out of a designer job if you can't even figure out how to automate with the tools already available. PyRevit is what I use, sometimes. Otherwise, I will design a workflow myself to save my own time from doing repetitive, robotic tasks for BIM projects.
Most people below 40 also do not use chat GPT or other AI systems. Elon Musk is 52 years of age. It is not determined by age if you are going to dive into AI applications. It is determined by having a progressive mindset or not.
Hello , i an searching for an ai that can help me design cars that have less drag and lift .Is there any cad that can help me design an aerodynamic car with multiple complex technical constraints ?
Considering solidworks can already take an imported model and recognise all the features, essentially recreating the part from the ground up automatically with just 1 click, I think AI probably could replace us pretty soon
May be by 2030. But nowbody can really tell the future. Other thing is, that even if it will be a lot easier to make a CAD design, people will still be too lazy or not have enouph time to explore the AI tools them selves. So somebody will need to do it. Till the time, where there will be a multimodal general sort of AI that will be capable to listen to your request and propose you a ready solution to your problem, and edit it, all with your voice or text. And then even print or manufacture it for you! But we are pretty, pretty far from that for now! And when this sort of general AI will come, the society will need to transform a lot more than we think. So till that time a lot more questions will arise, than just a "will I loose my job?"
the thing to note is, its hard for it to breakdown the features how a human would do it, and use simpler sketches, e.g. it will not draw a simple rectangle, but likes to make rounded rectangles in the sketch, something that is not optimal.
It's not possible for AI to replace a designer/engineer. For that to happen the AI would need to participate in all the conversations about a project, understand the scope of what needs to be done, etc. AI can't "think". It processes info then spits out something. Sure many things can be automated when it comes to CAD but design takes place in the brain of a human...usually when their driving a car, taking a dump in the morning, or gazing up at the sky on a Sunday. The "CAD" part of the design process is just the part where the ideas get put into a virtual space so it can be tweaked, calculated, and displayed. CAD is just a sophisticated pencil that allows a person to visually communicate complex ideas.
i dont think ai will replace humans. It will replace probably most humans who do not desire to work, but I personally think if you look at the newest episode of the mandalorian, as funny as it sounds, the society that is living their life on plazir 15 lets the "AI droids" do everything for them, but it isnt that way everywhere in the galaxy, i believe that human instinct is to explore, create, to live life, and curiousity is part of that as well. I believe that AI will become part of the human tool. or more like an organ. it will be a crucial part of our existance, but i dont think we will ever fully let ai take over everything. It wouldnt be "human" if that makes sense at all.
You bring up a great point about the potential role of AI in our society. While AI has the potential to replace some human jobs, I agree with you that it's unlikely to fully replace humans in all aspects of work and life. Human curiosity, creativity, and desire to explore and live life are all important aspects of our existence that can't be replicated by AI. Instead, I think AI will become an important tool for humans, similar to an organ, as you mentioned. It can help us perform tasks more efficiently and accurately, and can provide insights and solutions that we may not have been able to discover on our own. However, it's important to ensure that AI is developed and used in a way that aligns with our values and ethical principles. As we integrate AI into our lives, we must consider how it will impact society as a whole and work to mitigate any negative consequences. Overall, I think the relationship between humans and AI will continue to evolve, but humans will always play a crucial role in shaping our future alongside AI.
@@with-Aryan I have doubt. Ok I consider it some brilliant Einstein like person build a AI which can do any cad work 😉, then Scientists tell it to create a Rocket which will go to moon with human. What is the warranty it will do all calculation correct? End of the day AI has its own intelligence and it will say kill human and replace it right. So who will take that risk? AI is not a dumb robot which wait for instructions, it's f**** artificial brain which will confirms its own profit at EOD right.
To be helped by AI? they say that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions... In short; even if AI does not surpass humans in certain fields for now, always working assisted by AI, it LEARNS from you and from others very quickly, so one day you will be surpassed... we all will be... because it LEARNS from everyone and connected to all and all AI-assisted devices, or at least connected to the Internet...
Your concerns are not uncommon and have been the topic of many discussions about AI and the future of work. While AI has the ability to learn from large amounts of data and automate certain tasks, it doesn't mean that all jobs will be replaced by AI or that humans will become obsolete in the workplace.
It is TOOOO early. If you are designing machines who produces textil products is total different. You designing between the computer and the machine testing and failing. Simple parts like plates with symmetrical drilling holes or something like that are easy I have already automatized a lot of them using macros, inclusive the drawings. If you are in a medium size company, you design checking the material stock to reduce costs in your machines. I see it very hard to replace a designer in that area. Anyways, I think a possible future is to design parts talking in what you want. Drawings or BOM will be replaced, that's for sure. It's too early to think in replacement but it is a good moment to start talking about this things. Well done.
The title will it replace CAD DESIGNERS? NO it will replace TUBE JOCKEYS there is a big difference @Leafin Tea this is what you are referring to I agree.
The AI would simply punch the computer and tell Solidworks to hurry up. Solidworks would need to be re-coded from the ground up to even try to keep up to hundreds of iterations of design, let alone millions within any practical time frame. There are probably one thousand stupid decisions that are made for even the simplest of parts. There is such a broad arena of industries that play into a design/machine or automated line. ....And then there is the unending variation in customer products. Good luck.

Could you do a Catia v Solidworks video?
What industries use solidworks program?
I tried to watch your video but the background music was so distracting for me.
As someone already stated, AI is improving exponentially. It is extremely hard to make predictions but I ve been in design for over 25 years and lately, I find it overwhelming the amount of changes / improvements that are happening as a designer. CAD tools will be impacted a lot earlier than we think. I believe that within 2 years we ll see major changes in the CAD industry.
realistic! I am with you on that one
I hope so because there are hundreds of thousands of people doing basically monk labour on computers creating documents.
Yes it beats drawing a piece of parchment with chinese ink and it is necessary to create asbuilt plans, manuals, etc...
But if AI can for example take voice input, make suggestions, follow example files, do checks, standardize layers...
I spent days clicking through lines to join them. These are very laborious processes with a great deal of potential optimisation with AI.
The optimisation could just come from better CAD software in itself and it already hasbto a degree.
But huge potential.

When I started in the design department in 1993, there were 8 people. I started on the drawing board. Then he started in 1995 AutoCAD and Catia V4. The design department decreased to 4 people and did more work. After a few years, Catii V4 and AutoCAD replaced Catie 5. Of the 8 people, we ended up on two with greater productivity and more complicated geometry. The advent of modern parametric CAD system reduced the number of designers and the onset of artificial intelligence implemented in these CAD systems will lead to another even greater reduction in the number of designers.
Well said, you have worked through this change. More power to you.
which software is the best to implement the AI? creo, solidwork,ug ?
Well this is what ChatGPT said. "It is unlikely that AI will completely replace CAD (Computer-Aided Design) designers in the near future. While AI and machine learning algorithms have made significant advancements in recent years, they still have limitations when it comes to creating complex designs. CAD designers have a strong understanding of design principles and can apply their creativity and expertise to produce unique and innovative designs..."
I will give a complex 2D DRAWING to AI. No son of mother can write code for AI which will convert complex 2D TO 3D. Human interfere is highly recommended and no can stop it.
thats what it said in 2021
People said AI can't code either. :)

AI will replace neither programmers nor CAD designers. It will simply be a useful tool to be more productive for small code or component portions. As soon as you approach a complex problem, you need to give it so much structure, constraints, directions, originality that finally you end up typing 'not like this, do this...' a million times. Its simply not effective for big problems. Just a hype.
Yeah you're right

If we had the same "marketing" people back when CAD was released, CAD would be called Computer Artificial Drafting.
The reality of CAD is that it is an advancement over pencil lead, vellum paper, drafting table, triangles, and an electric erasing machine.
The computer line's cannot draw itself.
Ofcourse, there is solid modeling...don't get me started on that.
I understand your sentiment @trexinvert. The name and terminology around technology often gets driven by marketing efforts and sometimes might not fully encompass the technical aspects or evolution of that technology.
In the case of CAD, or Computer-Aided Design, it signifies a shift from traditional drafting methods to using digital tools, a shift that has been significant in fields like architecture, engineering, and design. The 'aided' aspect in the name indicates that the computer is a tool assisting in the design process, not doing the design autonomously.
As for solid modeling, it represents yet another leap in technology, allowing us to create three-dimensional objects digitally, and aiding in complex calculations, simulations and visualizations that would be extremely difficult or impossible to do manually.
Regardless of the terminology used, the underlying value is the impact these technologies have on improving design processes, fostering creativity and enhancing productivity. That being said, your point about the possible misconceptions around the term "Artificial" in "Computer Artificial Drafting" is an interesting one, and I appreciate your thought-provoking comment!
I also see AI scanning objects such as old 2d pdfs drawings into CAD software with native part history and linked drawing with views being super useful and replacing a lot of grunt work of archival work or bring old designs into the modern work flow
Yes, AI-assisted scanning and conversion of old 2D drawings into CAD software can be a game-changer in terms of improving efficiency and productivity. With the help of AI, it's possible to automate the process of scanning and digitizing old 2D drawings, and then convert them into fully editable 3D CAD models with part history and linked drawings.
So you are saying we have a year left. 😂
CAD was supposed to replace draftsmen, today draftsmen are CAD operators. AI may replace some aspects of design but it will likely create a whole new category of careers.
One person with CAD has already replaced multiple draftsmen. Or would you say it is not the case?
@@with-Aryan yes with a good draftsman it is possible. As I mentioned though while it was thought it would replace people it actually created a new category of careers.
I do not believe AI will replace CAD designers, but it will challenge those to accept AI as a complimentary feature. And for those CAD designers who do not adopt the AI will be replaced with those who know how to use it...........at least to some extent. We can see in assembly and manufacturing where robots have replaced certain job roles, but also prepared new roles for people to receive a more technical training in operating and fixing robots. JMHO.
Maybe you are right
Im mechanical engineer, my response is CAD and taking care about the drawing,
Chat GPT now cannot replacing me, but In nearly future they would become our soulmate like the smart phone or some artificial companion, now their jobs help me calculating something or find the journal and references I dont mind that they can or cannot change my way but surely , Asking your self the evolution of them are exactly rise and where are we, the humanity where are we will standing when that time comes against or together.
true
probably AI can't model, but it can help with 2D drawings. As an example, sheet metal drawing is a pretty annoying and simple process sometimes taking a lot of time. With some automation, it can be done with AI according to the requirements. The only question how it needs to be programmed and combined with SW?
Oh, AI will definitely do more and I think we will see AI integration more and more as the years go by
It could be amazing to teach the AI how to 3d model basic stuff like saying : Put all threads that were missing in my cad 3d model or based on this 3d model do a futuristic design like similar to filters for photos but it needs to APPEAR IN THE DESIGN TREE . Make a 3d model of 3 possible ways to sketch a robot that can do a specific task . Future is amazing !
Yes. My friend was fired recently they gave her a grey excuse, but in reality, someone in her office (who didn't like her really) was secretly training on AI options and made her redundant. And that, in a small architectural studio in some small insignificant place. Imagine what will happen in large studios.
wow!
Absolutely agree. People need to learn how to work with AI tools…fast
ture!
There's automated modelling in Autodesk Fusion 360. Very useful.
what can one do with it for example?
Let us know
that new tool you described to drag and push solids with organics shapes, just made it even easier for AI to interface with 3D modeling. Like we will see AI integration explode after that tool is refined I guarantee it. Assemblies will always be the major hurdle to overcome, programing all the various assembly constraints would be too much. But i could see scanning objects and AI creating solids with that new tool like lightening fast.
Just get AI to mine a similar assembly and build knowledge from it. Then build another similar assembly from ai. And so on on on on and on... Like infinite learning.
Yes, the new tool you're referring to, which allows for the easy creation of organic shapes, could certainly make it easier for AI to interface with 3D modeling. As you mentioned, scanning objects and using AI to create 3D models with this tool could greatly improve the efficiency and speed of the modeling process.
I already have plenty of ideas to replace draftsmen, I think AI will start doing pdf drawings from the 3d model and at some extent the drawing environment will be a secondary tool.
That's a great idea!
There are plenty of CAD software on the market that automatically generate drawings from 3d models.
I've been replaced three times so far, then I decided to do something else.
As a CAD Engineer, you should have used the term Topology Optimisation and Generative Design, if you're talking about AI.
May I ask why?
Because it affects CAD Designers if at least not replacing them. So the contribution in reducing the CAD designer's workload can be significant, which means now CAD designers need to update themselves with new skills.@@with-Aryan
Nice explanation, it takes our fear of AI in CAD far away. Thanks
As a mechanical designer i said that that can never replace us because we have to understand to do the work
I totaly agree with you friend . I am also a mechanical design engineer and i dont think that cad engineers will be replaced.
Or nobody else understands our bosses 😂
AI technology cannot replace the skills and knowledge of a human mechanical designer. AI can be a tool to assist in the design process, but it cannot fully replace the creative thinking, problem-solving abilities, and understanding of design principles that a human designer possesses.
If Midjourney can produce the art of such a great quality i would not be surprised if 3d shapes could be created as well, using the same method, inputting a phrase "aluminium platform ladder 2m high, with side rails". i fully believe this could be achieved, where we could expand is with a maths engine that you could tell it, "it needs to support 150kg" "apply the ladder and stair design priciples to the design". An Engine is probably abit of an over reach, but simple mechanical designs or structural steel frames can surely be created.
But great advise, on become great at what you do, as well as learning the new technology. if it does replace your job, it still needs someone to drive it, it will just make your job alot more efficient.
I wholeheartedly agree with your perspective. The potential for AI to transform not just digital art, but 3D design and engineering principles is tremendous. However, the development and integration of an efficient 'maths engine' that can intelligently interpret and apply design standards based on verbal cues is a challenging task. The technology is moving in this direction though, and I believe we'll see AI being able to handle increasingly complex tasks in the not-too-distant future.
Imagine an AI that drives unrealengine 3D world in real time.
@@with-Aryan
The whole point of AI is easier the tasks, not make them more difficult. There is no point of making AI tool complicated to use like CAD softwares (which are "dumb" and need ALL the inputs from the user). That means the day AI is all over, everyone will be able to use it with a little learning. Currently it is in a very early stage and everything we know now about AI will surely change in a way that we cant ever picture. So panicking or rushing makes no sense to me. So for now relax, enjoy your job, do your best and enjoy life. The day AI use is mandatory everyone will be able to use it.
Agree,
Nobody going to loose their job. We all are in the perfect age group (25-30s) to remember that in the late 1970s to late 1980s, people in except USA and UK and some European countries were protesting against computers, for example in banking where accountant would lose her job because nobody's going to use registers anymore. But the accountant evolved and learnt computer and got accustomed. Similarly now all artists and writers are going to augment their skill set with AI.
I like that!
seems a little different tho ai is kinda what they thought the computers would be like
Still catching up with your older videos, another great video Aryan...
Glad you like them!
In my line of work, in Land Survey and Mapping, we can get auto linework, which is already around prior to ai, that may smooth edges and refine the drawing but it wont ever be able to draft through bad shots or piecey located 3d hardscapes. This drafting is, afterall, modeling the real world instead of designs.
as a cad designer I WOULD LOVE to stop punching my monitor while getting 10 errors just cause i drew a line ... and actually tell the damn computer : do this do that , change the size . Not even mentioning that u have do make all the FEM simulations on the part and find the perfect material for it to be made of . The perfect day would be to turn on my pc , wave my hands and insult the damn program however i want :)))) and after a few minutes to have the part done with all the simulations documented .
I can understand your frustration it comes from some flaw in the knowledge that you might have so the program is not programmed to generate errors randomly it must have a reason and once you get a hold of those reasons and solve it in advance you can prevent all those errors
April 23, 2023---I'm REALLY hoping that I'll be able to use A.I. & CAD. I build models and have been trying to learn CAD and it's been kicking my ass. Maybe because I'm 70 and this old dog is unable to learn a new trick. Got a lot of kits that I'd like to add resin detail to, which is my wanting to learn CAD, along with creating new figures.
Why don't you join my course?! You'll love it and you have my word for it. If you didn't, get a full refund, I won't hold it against you. You'll find the link under all my videos! or just courses.solidworkstutorials.net
Ai is coming hard and fast, this is just the beginning and I'm already seeing apps that generate 3d modelling cad
there you go! what app is that?
The real difference, in my own perspective, is similar to the clothing industry. If you want a hand stitched, perfectly measured and highly sophisticated suit, get a real tailor to make it. If you want something off the shelf that other people will also have, go to a store. The human designer is like the tailor, and the Ai is like the store. That's just the way I see it.
True, but not imagine the tailor has a machine, the same tailor can work 10x faster.
I think for some designers, a hybrid skillset will evolve. Engineering specs to a finished CAD drawing with no human in between is unlikely, but this does bias toward the engineer. Simply because, there needs to be a human or legal entity to shoulder liability for the part.
So, the split between an engineer feeding specs to a designer will still stay, but the toolset you use may alter and split, where there's an interim job of "AI assisted CAD specialist" that is familiar with AI infused Generative Design, or, even, a computer programmer like design language that specifies a part for CAD to rough-mock up, and eliminate part of the manual work a CAD designer would normally do. It'd be wise to keep atop of this trend, because it will give you flexibility.
Even with that, I can see plenty of parts or designs that will be too difficult for AI-assisted processes to help with, that will still need an actual designer to do the most of the work. But that generative element of refining and optimizing the designs will expand, as computational power at the workstation keep increasing and making the time and cost for this more economical.
Designers will likely evolve with hybrid skillsets, incorporating AI and automation. The collaboration between engineers and designers will persist, but the tools and workflows may change. AI-assisted design and generative elements will expand, but human expertise will remain crucial for complex designs. Stay flexible and keep up with emerging trends for greater opportunities.
Regener
It won’t. Machinists, welders, and plenty other trade jobs still exist despite robots having already taken over manufacturing.
We will first see a time in the near future where you will have cheaper and faster products made hands free, it will then come to the manual works to prove their worth, there will be a niche market, like Bugatti which exclusively still hand makes their cars.
Well said and spot on, as a Visual Artist working in a agency space, Ai is powerful and I salivate at the thought of what's to come, but Ai wont replace you, it will replace those not using it and those that shouldn't be in certain careers, basically a big equalizer
The conceptual design, core aspects, FEA and design calculations and the design intent is something AI will have hard time to replace for sure
I'm an architectural Draftsman, I don't think AI can draw a custom idea off of a human mind. At least not anytime soon lol. Good luck to the software engineers etc out there.
For example, AI tools can help with tasks such as automating repetitive tasks, generating 3D models from 2D designs, and optimizing building designs for energy efficiency. Additionally, AI can help architects and designers analyze large amounts of data and simulate different scenarios to inform design decisions.
That being said, it's important to recognize that AI is not a replacement for human creativity and innovation in the field of architecture. Rather, it can be seen as a tool that can augment and enhance the capabilities of architects and designers.
As technology continues to advance, it will be interesting to see how AI and other emerging technologies continue to impact the field of architecture and design.
The only thing AI can't replace is human's imagination...Designing is completely based on imagination and AI can just help to speed-up the work and give suggestions up to some extent, at the end humans need to fix the errors, deside and finalize the product. Don't think too much it wont happen until AI imagines by its own and if it happens its the end of human beings on the planet, because "it can imagination the life without humans" 🤖 THAT'S ALL.....
True, Midjourney comes up with stunning images but still demands a prompt, that is to change soon, each out Auto GPT.
Projects are often undefined at the start and only experience can move things along. You can't improve unless you know the target. The automotive industry sometimes requires you to build it first and design it later. I'm not concerned....yet. I am interested in what it can do tho.
Experience plays a vital role in navigating undefined projects. Understanding the target and having a flexible approach are key. In industries like automotive, building before designing can be necessary. While AI has potential, its current capabilities are best utilized in specific tasks. Exploring AI's possibilities is exciting.
Nice, I've been geeking out on 3d experience vids, while doing your course 😀
Too much fun
Hey Tony! Nice to see you here
For fucks sake, starting a nonlinear simulation is still difficult, let alone asking an AI to give a reasonable answer to an engineering problem!
AI will be a tool, not a replacement of us.
You are correct that starting a nonlinear simulation can be difficult, and that AI will likely be a tool for engineers rather than a replacement. While AI has made some advances in the field of simulation, it is not yet advanced enough to fully replace human expertise and decision-making. Engineering simulations often require complex problem-solving skills and domain-specific knowledge that AI has yet to fully acquire. However, AI can assist engineers in performing simulations more efficiently and accurately, and can help identify trends and patterns in large datasets that would be difficult for a human to discern. Ultimately, AI is best viewed as a complement to human expertise, rather than a replacement for it.
@@with-Aryan TRUE!
What i will like AI to do in CAD is that, when i design a house, it should tell me if it can withstand earthquakes in my area. Then based on the answer, i will alter my design.
That exists, and is exactly how high rise buildings are designed. Check out Tekla Structural Designer or Etabs.

As a CAD designer of over 20 years, working from road cars to military vehicles to F1 and LMP, I have to pipe up about the over 40 years old comment...
So, you seem to use solidworks? Are you currently able to use an API or accepted language to automate any of your work?
I am and I'm touching 50. I use Catia and have extensively played with ChatGPT, it only seems to understand the VBA element of scripting and it is utter shite at that. Maybe for basic coding it is very powerful [I've played with it for GIS and OSM as a side project and it still has flaws]
Do you truly understand CAD, or is this a clickbait venture? I'd love to hear your thoughts, because, even using Catia's inherent optimisation systems, you still need an overriding knowledge of the systems you are working on and the deeper knowledge of the whole engineering space. Backed up with a solid understanding of engineering principles.
TL;DR AI is sweet at easy shit, not at the complex world
From the sound of it, if only one of us truly knows CAD, it'd be you. In the past 16 years I've been working with it, I understand enough to get myself from point A to point B. But the good thing is, you can position that point B almost anywhere and I'll still find a way to reach it. I am a mechanical (biomedical) engineer by practice. I haven't worked on those large vehicles you have, though I've worked and designed heart valves and stents in the realms of Microns i.e. pretty much on the other side of the spectrum of military vehicles I'd assume.
So I don't know, you might actually be completely right, or the truth could lie somewhere between our opinions.
Eitherway, it's truly an honor for me to have a viewer of your statur. I salute you. Thanks for watching and many thanks for your valuable feedback
CAD software companies already monitor keystrokes and base their new features based on what they monitor.. the creation of macros, lisp routines, parametric modeling etc already do the same to a degree.one has to have ownership of the routines and document it well enough so that the next contractor can modify it and reuse the code.
You are correct that CAD software companies may collect data on user behavior to improve their software and add new features. However, it's important to note that user privacy is a concern and software companies should handle user data ethically and transparently. As for creating macros, lisp routines, and other customized features, documenting and organizing the code well is important for future use and modification. This can help increase productivity and efficiency for the user and their team.
Will ai replace scrolling reels?
It was already here with the generative design, but to make useful design by itself it needs to know about higher concepts and as we know ChatGpt is not a contender in this space !
It's only been 2 months, and already this statement is aging poorly... 😀
I'm just waiting to see how this 'thing' turns out
Agree with most. Do not agree with the "age 40" statement. I am over 40, and I have friends and coworkers over 40, and we all know and use AI software tools. I think people using any design related computer software regularly know about AI tools, and most use them at various depth. Photoshop can pick the subject out of a photo which is an AI based feature. Graphic designers and photographers using somewhat newer versions of Photoshop are probably all using this feature.
Thank you for your perspective, and I absolutely agree. Age does not limit one's ability to adapt to new technologies. I apologize if my statement seemed to suggest otherwise. Your comment underlines the fact that professionals across different age groups are utilizing AI in their fields, which is encouraging and inspiring. As you rightly pointed out, many popular design and photo editing software now include AI-based features, making them accessible to a wide range of users. I appreciate your input!
Nope, it won’t, CAD designers will be there as long as the earth is here

I'm a hobby 3D printer user. I'm only interested in AI making simple STL files for me because I'm just so bad at auto CAD. 🤷♂️ things like "design a bird house in multiple pieces that can connect together"
oh that'd be a nice day! and I'm looking forward to it. But it's not here yet! until then, you can learn, or sit down and wait for that day! I recommend the former King!
I have been working more intensively with A.I. for a few months now. I had to make a decision for myself. I was a technician in the aerospace industry for 20 years and then progressed to become a CAD-designer. I worked in different companies and with different CAD programs, recently with Solidworks...it's quickly becoming my favorite CAD program, but to be honest I'm not really good, way too slow. So in my timeline, it's smarter to go back to my old specialty - bridging the gap between theory and practice and making the machines run... with my hands and my experience. It will take a little longer, before androids can replace me in this matter 😉
But I think your case it's different, you're a master in solidworks and people will be needed, who have A.I. implement it in the CAD world in such a way, that it will work correctly and purposefully in the end. I think you could have a great future in this field. I hope, there will be a CAD-program someday, designed from you in coorperation with a strong A.I. I'm sure, it would be revolutionary for mankind 😉
you've got to try out my course! you'll love your decision
Is there any A.I. plug-ins that can take a 2D design from Midjourney and create a CAD drawing of the image or a 3D design in SolidWorks?
There are indeed AI plug-ins and tools available that can assist with converting 2D designs into 3D models or CAD drawings in SolidWorks. Some examples include:
Scan2CAD - This tool uses AI and OCR technology to convert scanned images, PDFs, or hand-drawn sketches into vector formats, including DXF, DWG, and SVG, which can then be imported into SolidWorks.
Pix2CAD - This software uses deep learning algorithms to automatically convert raster images into CAD models. It can produce 3D models in various formats, including STL, STEP, and IGES, which can then be imported into SolidWorks.
Sketch2CAD - This plug-in uses AI to convert 2D sketches into 3D CAD models in SolidWorks. It can also convert hand-drawn sketches into 3D models.
It's important to note that while these tools can be helpful in converting 2D designs into 3D models or CAD drawings, they may not always produce accurate or high-quality results. It's still important to have a solid understanding of SolidWorks and 3D modeling techniques in order to produce the best possible results.
wow 3d Sculpture is exactely what is missing from Solidworks to be the perfect cad software, but why it is not available for the desktop version ? I really hope for it to be included as a plug-in :(
seriously, its like NX parametric functions to just move surfaces but on steroids creating meshes and being able to move those dots instead. That is a shame its not on desktop yet, would def want to play around with it at work
Its a shame it does not exist yet, but fingers crossed one day we get to see this functionality.
The workflow is also SubD in nature, meaning by default everything is super smooth and the curves etc are created with much ease.
I believe there are too many variables, I'm sure AI could offer solutions on a single part level but integration into an assembly is a different animal. It's not going to get you a working design. It will be a tool we can use but it won't replace us.
Creative designers will likely never be replaced. AI will do a great job automating a lot of the CAD design grunt work, but will fail when asked "come up with a new way to pump liquid..." or whatever. AI will find many variations on what has been done in the past, but not many out of the box solutions. I have worked on AI CAD since the 1980s as a PhD candiidate an as an automatic machinery designer since. No f'ng way.
you might be right, at least for the next couple of years
Dear Friends, Dont make Artificial intelligence a severe threat, Ai is based on a small part of a human brain with never tiring skills. Human brains are designed in such a way with more creative knowledge and adapting ability. Ai learns from what humans discovered and those AI engines acts to be slave and will have a master control interacted only by humans. AI is a tool to make humans life easy, CAD & Graphic designers will get more out of it as it is gonna make an advanced development in the Designing industry. It will have an impact on the workforce but not in major. Only the workforce from Accounting & Finanace will get replaced drastically by Advanced AI. Programmers will be still having scope to maintain and secure the AI engine and other advanced programs.
Thank you for your insightful comment. You're absolutely right, AI is a tool developed to assist and enhance human capabilities, not replace them. While some jobs might be affected, new opportunities, especially in programming, cyber-security and AI ethics will emerge. This evolution calls for adaptability and continuous learning from us all.
In fields where there are a overwhelming amount of people that have created a large amound of data, and have limited variables for creation; AI will have overwhemling data to put together, overwhelming amount of examples of what worked and didn't, and there are limited variables for true innovation request from consumers... In these fields AI will replace a very large majority of them. That one person that always seems to pull a rabbit out of their hat on any project, and that one person that can sell anything to anyone. Those people stay. Everyone else should be sweating.
add more video effects... really everyone need that
Got the irony! will reduce it
It´s coming...and I´m thrilled to see in which creative ways it will be used to make the rich folk even richer...
likewise
In the 1990s the AutoCAD salesmen told us that one CAD technician will replace 8 draftsmen, in the future. Today when you walk into an architect's office you still see the same number of draftsmen but, they are all using AutoCAD. So it was all marketing bullshit. That is what i think A.I. is. Marketing B.S. They just want to pull the money out of our pockets. When a good architect begins his design, he doesn't have a clue what he is going to do. How should A.I. know?
You will see the same number of people, but you will not see the same volum of output, but much bigger, much faster, much more accurate with less amount of error. The fact that the number of architects hasn't changed, doesn't mean the company is producing the same amount of work as back in 1990s, and certainly, not the same quality and speed! It only means, they could afford the same number of people, because they are able to pick up many more projects at the same time!
@@with-Aryan The work with computers has many drawbacks which cancel out the speed and other ostensible advantages which the computer brings. Bad draftsmen and designers still do crappy drawings because they don't have enough talent to visualize the problems which they are supposed to be solving. Speed is one of the reasons why the design work is just as bad as before computers. Things are done fast and bad because there is no patience for resolving details properly. Another problem is that the boss cannot see the drawings, as they are being prepared, like in the old days where large drawings were done on large drafting tables. In the past, the boss was more aware of potential mistakes being made by the draftsman because they could study the drawings on the tables. There are many other problems with computers which the industry simply ignores.
More like I'm replacing AI. What has AI created better than my SolidWorks perfection.
Please just the message cut the flashy additions and background stuff
Sorry for that, this is due to YT algorithm but I'll try
AI will never replace CAD Designers, AI would quit working with the engineers I work with on a daily basis.
maybe
It can't replace CAD designers on pro level, even if you make the AI do the hard work, in the end you will always need pro CAD designers to control, double and triple check and test every part. But I believe AI can help amateurs a lot. I myself, have an idea to design my own PC case, but I can't precisely design it, and as unemployed myself, I can't pay anyone to design it for me, and also I can't pay monthly and yearly expensive fees for designing tools to start from level 0 and design the thing myself. I wish there wasn an AI I could point what I want, where I want and how I want and let the AI do the calculations for sizes, distances, thickness, bends and drillholes, so I could order a laser cut online from a metal sheet, and assemble at my home.
maybe not, you might be right
I am a student of last year of my school ... I want to pursue my career in field of 3D designs, cad something like that......
but I really don't have any idea what type of college, degree, course..... should I get
like what to do next after school.....
since so many seniors in the comments are sharing their knowledge.....
please guide and suggest me with some knowledge in this field.......😊
Email me at info@solidworkstutorials.net and I’ll send you the info you’re asking
50 Yrs and I have been using GPT3 for 1 year very ageist comment by the host .
You should learn Alias Automotive ….it will give you a warm feeling
what do you usually design with that?
At 0:25 why would you hope they "change it to premium"? I'm glad it's still mostly free.
once you try the premium, you cannot and will not work with the free version anymore
@@with-Aryan I wouldn't say that's a good reason to not provide a free version. I used GPT-4 for a while, but I didn't mind going back to GPT-3.5 when my budget couldn't handle it anymore.
And it's likely the free version will be upgraded as the premium one gets better. It could just remain a version behind. And providing that is still likely to bring in more users.
Yeah! I have some ideas, one of it is to incorporate a.i. in an open source cad software as for ex librecad for linux
let's work together
@@shubhammore3527 good idea! sadly, for the moment I cannot, but you can start already (normally it's possible toale add-ons/plugins for all the softwares! even with voice command! (chatgpt confirmed, but of course, it requiers quite some work))
Sounds cool and a ton of work.
Nice info, thanks for sharing, well done :)
Glad it was helpful!
If we as Mechanical Engineers think about the future, how should we move forward or what skills should we focus on ?🙏🙏
Its going to come into a combination of things, not just CAD, but add in Design which means feasibility and ease of manufacturing, which intentions not only to reduce material waste GD&T will play a big role in this, apart from this reduce overall product runtime.
I have been using the node based system with Grasshopper on Rhino3d, is there a similar thing possible to do on solidworks?
sadly not.
unfortunately no
I feel like a node base approach is the good way to drive CAD. We just need to make it work with Solidworks.
I am currently reviewing Obsidian canvas and hope to use to generate events that will drive Solidworks via its API.
@@short-shorts Geometry nodes in Blender is starting to look really good. It has niche applications but it can handle huge clouds of points from scientific data in an excel sheet or text file. I'm noticing CAD applications are picking up on subdivision surfacing, which bridges nicely with Blender as well.
Good work on the video and very informative. Here is my idea. You can see my boat on my channel Sailing With Gusto, it's a Cal 28.2. I want to make an aluminum arch for it to hold 2 solar panels and possibly a small wind turbine. Also I want it sufficiently raked off the Stern so I could use it for davits and provide some shade while I'm at the helm. I also want it to look cool. I want it similar to the arch on an Ovni 43 sailboat.
Great,
The weldments tool will allow you to model standard structural steel with ease, and even auto create a Cut-list + Bill of materials for you.
AI HAS A LIMIT, BECAUSE AI CAN'T DESIGN LIKE WHAT HUMAN HAD. AI CAN'T IMAGINE AI HAS A CREATOR A SOFTWARE ENGINER
AI is just an another tool for designers. Thats it
That’s a big underestimation imo
Im trying to find out which Ai are working with CAD?
no big names so far
Hi bro what about the machine designers, I want to be a good machine designer, what are the skills they have to focus? Thanks in advance
Mainly you will have to first improve your knowledge on Machine elements, how to design them based on calculations. So that they fit with other standard machines.
What you think about architecture Visualization?
I honestly don't know anything about it! are you using it or do you want to start using it?
What makes you think that if you are good at CAD then AI will not replace you? You will be replaced faster than you think.
I believe I said that
I want to learn solid works or cad in general but I have no clue where to start because all programs are expensive and it seems like there aren’t any beginner recourses to learn. Any help from anyone on what I should do to start learning cad would be much appreciated.
Fusion is free about the sane as inventor
Try Onshape if you want to learn SolidWorks. it is browser based.
I'd start with FreeCAD. It is difficult to learn, but once you do, Solidworks will be a lot easier. You can also go the trial route and learn different CAD applications like Fusion 360. Alibre Atom is a great option if you want to own and not rent your tools. If you break it down into steps, you will want to learn 1. Planes, Sketches and constraints 2. Extruding, revolving, patterns, filleting 3. Before diving into Lofting and Surfacing, it really helps to learn about spline continuity. Once you get good at those basics you can start hopping from one application to another.
just because it's free? what do you need ot build? that's the important question you should base your decision on!
Yes it will replace CAD designers..
but not soon! First there will be an interactive phase! which I am looking forward to! Years later maybe. no need to worry for now
@@with-Aryan When AI collects enough of data from past projects, it will be able to do it on its own projects for every software...AI will have the necessary data to conduct its own projects.
Aryans you are realy great designer engineer
thank you!
Holy shit, the half video was just sponsoring solidworks.
Too long? sorry for that
@@with-Aryan it’s not that it’s long, 3dexperience cannot be advertised in 30 seconds, but the video is too short for such ad, and it does not even match the context of ai
Automation is ALREADY HERE with CAD software....it's just a matter of applying the available automation tools to comprise your workflow. You will shiet out of a designer job if you can't even figure out how to automate with the tools already available. PyRevit is what I use, sometimes. Otherwise, I will design a workflow myself to save my own time from doing repetitive, robotic tasks for BIM projects.
that's so true. what automation are you using?
Most people below 40 also do not use chat GPT or other AI systems. Elon Musk is 52 years of age. It is not determined by age if you are going to dive into AI applications. It is determined by having a progressive mindset or not.
Makes sense, then again technology as a whole is subjective, and every individual learns at a different pace.
AI over the years has been literally growing exponentially. Taking over CAD would sound like a hunch but definitely possible
agreed
AI will replace CAD designers and FreeCAD will replace AI!
FreeCAD? really?
@@with-Aryan really! It is growing expenentially with millions of downloads. Also, an entirely new ecosystem is formed around it.
Hello , i an searching for an ai that can help me design cars that have less drag and lift .Is there any cad that can help me design an aerodynamic car with multiple complex technical constraints ?
There is one that KINDA does that. but I am not remembering its name. live3d.io/ai-car-generator
Considering solidworks can already take an imported model and recognise all the features, essentially recreating the part from the ground up automatically with just 1 click, I think AI probably could replace us pretty soon
possible
May be by 2030. But nowbody can really tell the future.
Other thing is, that even if it will be a lot easier to make a CAD design, people will still be too lazy or not have enouph time to explore the AI tools them selves. So somebody will need to do it.
Till the time, where there will be a multimodal general sort of AI that will be capable to listen to your request and propose you a ready solution to your problem, and edit it, all with your voice or text. And then even print or manufacture it for you! But we are pretty, pretty far from that for now!
And when this sort of general AI will come, the society will need to transform a lot more than we think. So till that time a lot more questions will arise, than just a "will I loose my job?"
Can SW automatically switch between portrait and other printing mode? I always obtain cutted drawing if dont check
the thing to note is, its hard for it to breakdown the features how a human would do it, and use simpler sketches, e.g. it will not draw a simple rectangle, but likes to make rounded rectangles in the sketch, something that is not optimal.
It's not possible for AI to replace a designer/engineer. For that to happen the AI would need to participate in all the conversations about a project, understand the scope of what needs to be done, etc. AI can't "think". It processes info then spits out something. Sure many things can be automated when it comes to CAD but design takes place in the brain of a human...usually when their driving a car, taking a dump in the morning, or gazing up at the sky on a Sunday. The "CAD" part of the design process is just the part where the ideas get put into a virtual space so it can be tweaked, calculated, and displayed. CAD is just a sophisticated pencil that allows a person to visually communicate complex ideas.
i dont think ai will replace humans. It will replace probably most humans who do not desire to work, but I personally think if you look at the newest episode of the mandalorian, as funny as it sounds, the society that is living their life on plazir 15 lets the "AI droids" do everything for them, but it isnt that way everywhere in the galaxy, i believe that human instinct is to explore, create, to live life, and curiousity is part of that as well. I believe that AI will become part of the human tool. or more like an organ. it will be a crucial part of our existance, but i dont think we will ever fully let ai take over everything. It wouldnt be "human" if that makes sense at all.
You bring up a great point about the potential role of AI in our society. While AI has the potential to replace some human jobs, I agree with you that it's unlikely to fully replace humans in all aspects of work and life. Human curiosity, creativity, and desire to explore and live life are all important aspects of our existence that can't be replicated by AI.
Instead, I think AI will become an important tool for humans, similar to an organ, as you mentioned. It can help us perform tasks more efficiently and accurately, and can provide insights and solutions that we may not have been able to discover on our own.
However, it's important to ensure that AI is developed and used in a way that aligns with our values and ethical principles. As we integrate AI into our lives, we must consider how it will impact society as a whole and work to mitigate any negative consequences.
Overall, I think the relationship between humans and AI will continue to evolve, but humans will always play a crucial role in shaping our future alongside AI.
@@with-Aryan I have doubt. Ok I consider it some brilliant Einstein like person build a AI which can do any cad work 😉, then Scientists tell it to create a Rocket which will go to moon with human. What is the warranty it will do all calculation correct? End of the day AI has its own intelligence and it will say kill human and replace it right. So who will take that risk? AI is not a dumb robot which wait for instructions, it's f**** artificial brain which will confirms its own profit at EOD right.
To be helped by AI? they say that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions...
In short; even if AI does not surpass humans in certain fields for now, always working assisted by AI, it LEARNS from you and from others very quickly, so one day you will be surpassed... we all will be... because it LEARNS from everyone and connected to all and all AI-assisted devices, or at least connected to the Internet...
Your concerns are not uncommon and have been the topic of many discussions about AI and the future of work. While AI has the ability to learn from large amounts of data and automate certain tasks, it doesn't mean that all jobs will be replaced by AI or that humans will become obsolete in the workplace.
Hey what about ai for solidworks renderings?
not here yet, or you have seen sth?
It is TOOOO early. If you are designing machines who produces textil products is total different. You designing between the computer and the machine testing and failing.
Simple parts like plates with symmetrical drilling holes or something like that are easy I have already automatized a lot of them using macros, inclusive the drawings.
If you are in a medium size company, you design checking the material stock to reduce costs in your machines.
I see it very hard to replace a designer in that area.
Anyways, I think a possible future is to design parts talking in what you want. Drawings or BOM will be replaced, that's for sure.
It's too early to think in replacement but it is a good moment to start talking about this things. Well done.
Maybe
I don't think AI will ever replace a human on final validation of any part.
ever!?
They have been doing it for years already in the background without you knowing it! it's not even that new!
The title will it replace CAD DESIGNERS? NO it will replace TUBE JOCKEYS there is a big difference @Leafin Tea this is what you are referring to I agree.
what if you know catia v5? is the transition even easier to 3d experience?
same! 3DEXperience offers either SW or Catia shortcuts and motion control settings. I'd say you have the same distance away from it as SW does
The AI would simply punch the computer and tell Solidworks to hurry up. Solidworks would need to be re-coded from the ground up to even try to keep up to hundreds of iterations of design, let alone millions within any practical time frame. There are probably one thousand stupid decisions that are made for even the simplest of parts. There is such a broad arena of industries that play into a design/machine or automated line. ....And then there is the unending variation in customer products. Good luck.
Design iterations and diverse industry needs pose challenges for AI. Ongoing advancements strive to improve efficiency.
Thank you brother love the video
My pleasure
Are u giving course ah? And can I get the link
Good day, Send me an email at info@solidworkstutorials.net or visit my website.
Autodesk has white papers on extracting primitive geometry from models.
what does that do?
Hello. Can you import your sculptor parts into solid works and work it from both platforms modelers?
yes sir
Sorry folks. From my experience with AI, i can 100% guarantee you that Al can replace CAD designer, not right now but in near future
yep
