Time to evolve the state of AM! The next frontier is multi material printing. Here is a Noyron-generated heat exchanger we printed with the experimental @Fraunhofer IGCV steel/copper process. We are actively working with our partners to push the boundaries of production.

@Xaraphim This is the way.

these clankers are getting much better than I thought You can just link your models to OpenFoam lol.

@Nano460757 I want to

@_DylanSmall_ Are you entering the boom competition? x.com/bscholl/status…

Vedr - Supersonic Drone Built using my AI CEM

@DimaZeniuk Actually, those are probably pad technicians.

SpaceX engineers working on Starship

Krawler! API/AI used: @SpaceXAI Grok 4.5 ___VIPER class lunar rover___, built end-to-end in @autodesk and @leap_71 Picogk. Fusion: Chassis, WarmBox, solar outriggers, science deck, mast with eyes. LEAP71: Lattice wheels, computational mesh on the hubs. (Fusion could not do it) Not a concept sketch. A machine you can explode apart and put back together. The more I build and do, the more my CEM and Agent grows.

@divalbanerjee @NASA @marshallbdoyle Im having a lot of good results from it.

Next Starship launch aiming for Thursday

Meet Nat a 250×250 mm ducted UAS The stack: Grok 4.5 in Cursor @SpaceXAI My CEM file (Turing), the brain behind the build Fusion MCP @adskFusion

@Amank1412 No, you must provide massive amounts of data. Ref my project.

do you really think telling claude/codex/cursor to “think like a senior engineer” actually makes it think like a senior engineer?

PicoGK generates highly complex meshes, but that's the tradeoff for its strength, it can produce insanely detailed parts and geometry that would be extremely difficult or time-consuming in traditional CAD. The CAD MCP is better suited for straightforward designs. It's far lighter on mesh complexity and file size, making it ideal for things like planetary gear systems or geometrically forgiving designs that just need to work.

@_DylanSmall_ @leap_71 @autodesk @cursor_ai Fuel rail packaging is where combustor and HP turbine constraints collide. What determines whether a component goes to PicoGK or Fusion?

Progress on Vella Have started on the external fuel rail and other components. Starting to see where to use the @leap_71 picogk kernel and where to use @autodesk Fusion MCP. So I am now combining computational engineering with agentic cad via @cursor_ai utilizing my own design logic that is baked into its build flow.

When creating logic for your CEM and AI CAD mcp agent, use NASA's Scientific and Technical Information (STI) Program and the NTRS OpenAPI! @NASA It delivers data in JSON format and contains hundreds of thousands of documents for training, research, and analysis. You can access it on the NASA STI Developer Portal and use it to build intelligent systems. sti.nasa.gov/for-developers/ 💥!!!!!

Cool. Print test for the VADR intake. 1/3 scale

@the13olympian Huh?....

@_DylanSmall_ I thought lots of stuff was proprietary company data not accessible as is on the internet

Tonight I sat back from my screen and couldn't speak. Computational engineering logic fused with modern CAD, and what came out wasn't just a design. It was a glimpse. Every generation thinks it's living at the hinge of history. Ours actually is! The machines we imagined in dark theaters as kids are being born right now, not in billion-dollar labs, but at desks like mine. And you can start building them.

@_DylanSmall_ Ok start building, Lets see how many tolerance and missing component issues there are. The most expensive part is building it and then rebuilding it once not everything is there

@the13olympian Baked into design logic

@_DylanSmall_ What about stuff like tolerances?

@VineshApp With great power comes great responsibility. We have the ability to keep each other in check and raise the flag if something is being used for wrong doing. I have good intentions and only want to see growth and prosperity between my peers.

@_DylanSmall_ why would the powers that be allow the software to be n public domain.... knowing it could help generate something like this.... very sus 🤨

For a long time I've been teaching a self-extending design system to generate aerospace hardware from pure physics no CAD, just code and constraints. Tonight I hooked my CEM up to Fusion 360 via MCP after a design and it rebuilt it! Real feature trees a machinist can open, edit, and cut toolpaths from. The system that designs in code can now speak the language of every shop floor on Earth. So to answer if you can transfer your @leap_71 work to CAD. Yes, you can.

@_Faraz Thank you!!!!

@_DylanSmall_ Enjoy ! 😉 I support this effort !

Imagine a world where engineering breakthroughs happen faster and more affordably. I’ve developed an AI system that designs real, manufacturable machines in record time, revolutionizing how we build. Your support can keep this innovation alive. Please share and donate to help fuel this change. All of your donations go to my CEM and I will continue to build. gofund.me/55b8f8ee5 All $1000 of compute has been used and all progress is up to date on X. Here is a Mach 1.4 CFD Capture of Vadr during todays testing with @openfoam This took about 4 hours.

@MillenniumTwain Ok, ill see what I can figure out. Not impossible but not sure where power requirements will come from? Tokamak? Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) drive design would work. This tech is 100 years ahead rn bud... Ill see what spins up.

@Rolando_tillit @The_Guy_Space Im stuck on SSTO and runway to orbit capabilities. Damn hard problem but not impossible. A fleet of spacecraft delivering each day to LEO would out perform these elephants. The moon and other celestial bodies though, thats different. Needed for heavy lift.

@The_Guy_Space Neither, ultimately the ideal would be something that can both catch and prep a rocket for launch. The chop sticks lack DOF, the cables limit a single ship to a single catch, but no prep. Maybe a cable landing system and a set of chopsticks with more dexterity and DOF.

According to you 🤔🤔 Which of these booster catching method is Best 🤔 and WHY ?????? Chinese🇨🇳 method vs American 🇺🇸method
