Keynote: AI
What Can AI Bring to Design for Additive Manufacturing?
With powerful pattern recognition and natural language processing, AI or machine learning is expected to drastically lower the learning curve for design and simulation software and transform its user experience. Can the technology improve DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) in the same way? Can AI give existing DfAM algorithms a boost in failure detection and geometry generation? In this keynote, our panel of experts explore what’s possible, what’s in the near future, and what the risks and uncertainties are.
