We built the first GPU-accelerated metal casting solver. FastCast by Digital Metal does fill, solidification, porosity & distortion on a single NVIDIA GPU, 91× faster than an industry-leading $15k/yr solver with the same level of accuracy. Verified against real world results

While Luke at GCL and @connorkapoor have made real parts with #OmegaAI, I'm a bit late to the game. My daughter sketched up this pattern for a floor register. We realized the space it's going is not quite square. Prompted Omega, refined the design, and sent to @sendcutsend ...

When MCP with actual design tools for nTop, @brad_rothenberg Implicit geometry is already basically math pretending to be CAD. Feels like this should be THE design environment for an AI agent. Give it the blocks. Let it cook.

Yes, this is exactly what it's like. And more fun than ever these days since we achieved magic boulder movers.

there's no substitute for a massive quantity of intentional human effort. Keep it sustainably interesting for as long as possible. Have fun

Which woods can you recognize? Loosely based on mokumeproject.github.io/, with additional "research" for aging, heartwood / sapwood ratios and color, staining, etc. Next is spalting and worm holes...

hill i’m willing to die on: parametric modeling is a scam. it doesn’t really work. it is slow. it is not a skill issue

Making code-based representations of CAD? Don't forget the first and second laws of feature interoperability: 1. You can make a scripting language that makes feature models in any CAD system. 2. Your scripting language cannot satisfactorily translate features between CAD systems.

Does AI cajole you into reading math books because you don't understand what it's talking about?

Astera colored the Poincare disc, but Fable 5.1 made actual tiles. Astera's is an implicit on an implicit, while Fable explicitly represents the implicits.
