eBook: When CAD Meets AI: Essential 2025 Guide to CAD/CAM/CAE Innovation
Aug. 6, 2025
In this compendium of articles, learn how the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration with computer-aided design (CAD) are keeping engineering teams competitive.
If recent mergers and acquisitions have offered any indication, consolidation among CAD, CAE and CAM have been greatly accelerated by artificial intelligence and machine learning. Indeed, according to one recent survey of manufacturing executives commissioned by Solidworks, respondents regard investing in AI-driven manufacturing solutions as a strategic imperative.
During Machine Design’s recent CAD, CAM, CAE Takeover Week (July 14-18, 2025), we highlighted how AI is being leveraged to foster innovation and democratize access to advanced engineering tools. This eBook highlights several examples of how AI is automating repetitive CAD, CAM and CAE tasks. Among them:
Autodesk released AutoConstrain earlier this year, a tool that has auto-generated about 900,000 geometric 2D sketch constraints, thereby drastically speeding up workflow and reducing manual oversight.
Solidworks’ AI Selection Helper completes complex edge-smoothing tasks in one action.
Altair/Siemens is banking on PhysicsAI to support the development of geometric deep learning and GPU-accelerated solvers that deliver real-time finite element analysis/computational fluid dynamics (FEA/CFD) feedback.
These advancements compress analysis timeframes from days to minutes while extending the usability of CAE tools to a broader spectrum of engineering disciplines anload the nd user profiles. To learn more about them and other examples, be sure to download the eBook by filling out the form below.
