A product design engineer takes an idea – sometimes barely more than a problem statement – and works it through to something physical, tested, and ready to make. Not always in a straight line. The job pulls in multiple directions. There’s detailed CAD work, yes. But there’s also materials knowledge, manufacturing constraints, simulation, documentation, and … Read more
Mechanical engineers have always worked within limits – weight, stress, material cost, and manufacturing feasibility. The question has always been: how do you get the best possible design given those limits? What is generative design, and does it actually answer that question better than the methods engineers have relied on for decades? The short answer: … Read more
