Prompt Engineering for Generative Design of Spaceflight Structures at NASA<\/h2>\n\n\n

This presentation led by Ryan McClelland from NASA GSFC explores “prompt engineering” for guiding generative design artificial intelligence (AI). You’ll learn how to maximize AI-driven optimization using textual and geometric information to create parts that meet functional, structural, and manufacturing requirements. You’ll also see examples of fabricated hardware developed using this approach, slated for integration in future NASA missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New Design Ride: Designing an Open-Source Adaptive Mountain Bike<\/h2>\n\n\n

Noel Joyce is a wheelchair user and industrial designer currently teaching design and innovation at NYU. A couple of years ago, Joyce started Project Mjolnir, the world\u2019s first open-source adaptive mountain bike project. Project Mjolinr\u2019s goal is to break down the barriers of entry for anyone to get into the sport by creating a bike based on a modular platform that is infinitely changeable, adaptable, and can be built anywhere. Join Joyce to learn more about the project, the design process, and what’s next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 things that make Fusion 360 awesome<\/h2>\n\n\n

Fusion 360 is turning 10! Over the past 10 years, Fusion 360 has helped both Alex Lobos and his students rethink the way CAD works, enabling new opportunities to be more effective, efficient, and most importantly, more creative and innovative. Lobos will share the top ten things that make Fusion 360 great. From direct modeling for communication design to collaboration, generative design, and more, he\u2019ll dive into how Fusion 360 makes an impact with specific examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designing Custom Components for Classic Cars and Hot Rods in Fusion 360<\/h2>\n\n\n

Custom classic car and hot rod builds often require many custom parts that are bespoke to the vehicle. In this session, we\u2019ll use several custom components created for the Iron Maven vehicle built by Girl Gang Garage to demonstrate workflows for designing and fabricating components from the ground up. The workflow demonstrations will focus on cosmetic and mechanical components, with an example of a 3D-scanning-to-freeform-modeling workflow for cosmetic components and a measurement-and-fit-check-to-parametric-modeling workflow for mechanical components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How We Digitally Transformed Our CNC Machine Shop Business with Fusion 360<\/h2>\n\n\n

Join Dave Boswell from SendItCNC to see how they applied Fusion 360 to create their new CNC processes and examine how they created the necessary Fusion 360 add-ins. They’ll demonstrate how they integrated their add-in with their cloud-based internal and customer-facing IT system. The result is a cloud-based customer experience that enables orders, reorders, and customization more easily than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
