Through history, project design has seen many vast changes in the past century. Back in the day, having blueprints and a drafting table was the highest level of accuracy someone could achieve. However, as technology evolved, more advanced virtual systems were introduced. The Dimension III Systems with PADL-2, the Indigo2 IMPACT R10000 with PTC Pro/ENGINEER, and the Aspire (575LB) with SOLIDWORKS 95 were all technological marvels at their time. Nowadays, both the hardware and software are incredibly outdated and look nothing like modern day computers or CAD programs. Fortunately, the next major technological innovation has already seen some implementation in CAD software.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gained global notoriety and already seen widespread commercial use. Some CAD programs, like SOLIDWORKS, have already seen some success in implementing AI. This AI is able to learn from user behavior and provide predictive solutions in real-time. It can also turn an image into a CAD sketch or render a 2D drawing from a 3D model. This AI can even change its response depending on the user’s workflow. Ultimately, this AI has something to offer you if you’re in a professional or recreational capacity. If you’re looking to save some time on your project design, taking advantage of SOLIDWORKS’s AI is both the easiest and most effective way to do it.
