The 150th issue of DEVELOP3D is now available to read, with an in-depth focus on AI technologies in all corners of product development.
Back when we published our first issue in 2008, AI was still a sci-fi movie plotline. Fast-forward to today, and it’s the major focus of this issue, as new AI-powered tools look to enhance, automate and optimise all aspects of our workflows.
As part of this special AI-themed issue, we take a look at an array of these new tools and what they have to offer the different stages of product development workflows.
We also hear from NASA about how the space agency is automating its generative design tools with AI. We hear from executives at the major CAD vendors about how they view AI and speak to leading educators about how they cover these new tools in the courses they’re delivering to members of tomorrow’s workforce.
Elsewhere, we look at how we’re all going to need to keep our IP secure in a world where AI tools produce masses of ideation; learn how one design studio has gone ahead and built its own AI tools; and we speak to a visualisation artist who feels that AI isn’t quite ready to replace the fi ne eye of a human – or not just yet.
We’ve also got first looks at Onshape’s new cloud native machining package CAM Studio and the Sony XR headset developed in collaboration with Siemens Digital Industries.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s also a huge, not-to-be-missed 2025 workstation guide, packed with expert reviews and insight to power you through 2025.
So, here’s to the next 150 issues. Of course, by the time Issue 300 rolls around, we’ll all have been replaced by AI – and I, for one, will welcome our robot overlords.
