..the creative act in modeling is in taking a mental concept and breaking that into primitive sketches and features that collectively realize that concept in a 3D model. We don't talk about this act, nor do our tools elicit this from us, we just do it and make a model.

While Christmas vacation continues I'll re-up two posts about AI and manufacturing: https://t.co/LVxMqCEdOV

The challenge of generative CAD is in generalizing beyond the training, of getting outside of the database of trained models and doing something new.

here's the reality per NIST citing chinese government sources: only 37% of chinese manufacturers reached BASIC digitization only 4% have leading-edge manufacturing capabilities they built more factories. they didn't build tons of advanced factories.

@istvan_csanady CAD not being learnable limits one's colleagues too, they just fail silently

Re-upping my thoughts from #reindustrialize
https://t.co/ZkgIvmSkiJ
The collapse of American industry was a choice. But just as deindustrialization was a choice, we can choose to reindustrialize. In June, hundreds of builders, investors, and government officials met at the inaugural Reindustrialize Summit in Detroit. They chose to bet on America

It's fun to imagine how many tradeoffs he sees when looking at that, how suboptimal he knows it to be, and yet despite all that it's really there, ready to launch, and better than anything the cynics, bean counters, and communists could accomplish

Midwest over Texas any day of the week
obvious place for this to succeed is in the Midwest 1 - highest concentration of manufacturing talent 2 - massive govt support 3 - high vol of military installations 4 - terrific cost 5 - amazing point of distribution 6 - tons of high qual engineers to steal

High volume is only necessary because of high expense in machinery and processes, instead we need to shift complexity from the physical domain to software and this is what @MachinaLabs_ is actually doing
@EdwardMehr đź’Ż High volume - high mix is the answer.

@EdwardMehr 'Mass markets of one' is another phrase here, describing bespoke products at mass economies. This requires programmable machines and factories, and also programmable designs...

@newindustrials @Ben_Reinhardt @optomachina @KeiTruckStan @wingod @NickPinkston @REALNickSainati Many thanks to the organizing team @aphysicist, @MikeSlagh and everyone else, great job! https://t.co/ycS7LxOu0d
That’s a wrap for REINDUSTRIALIZE 2024 - a gathering of the doers and builders who are reshaping the American industrial base. To see all of you in one room was remarkable.

One overlooked aspect of defense manufacturing is the use of civilian mfg capacity during conflict. This approach has been necessary in historical conflicts, such as World War II. Expanding defense production facilities in peacetime is often inefficient due to their

There is a huge gap between the problems that manufacturers encounter and those that startups know about _and_ can convince investors to back. This is a problem!
Unbelievable how many primitives were having to build. GD&T as code, Hadrian Model Based Definition, Ontology for quality clauses, software abstractions of CNC controllers, GitHub for part/ versioning. Insane these aren’t just open source libraries already.
