AI for Mechanical Engineers Season 2 ๐ ๐
โWhat happens when Physical AI leaves the demo environment and encounters real operations?
โCAD. Product knowledge. Technical documentation. Service information. Assembly relationships. Human approval. Operational responsibility.
โThe next wave of industrial AI will not be won by the most impressive demo.
โJoin a small group of senior engineering, manufacturing and technology leaders for an evening of practical insight, intelligent debate and hands-on investigation.
โThat's the conversation we're bringing together a small group of engineering, manufacturing and technology leaders to have.
โCome with one workflow or problem you're thinking about. You may leave with a new perspective on it. And also a couple of people worth continuing the conversation with.
โExpect a demonstrative, concise view of where Physical AI is becoming commercially useful, a live industrial AI reality check, and practical discussion with peers. Also, not forgetting a deliberately relaxed evening of pizza, cocktails and craft beer.
โThe talk
โJoseph Douglas, founder and CEO of 3DScribe, on why CAD geometry is mute to AI, and what happens when it isn't. Joe has spent 13 years in 3D graphics and design for manufacture across the US and Asia, from injection molding tooling in Foshan to building the platform that turns CAD assemblies into knowledge AI can reason over. He will show live systems, not slides about the future: assemblies where every part carries its purpose, and AI agents that answer questions about machines the way a senior service engineer would.
โExpect specifics. Where current models fail on real assemblies. What "AI-ready CAD" actually requires. Why after-sales service, not design, is where AI hits the P&L first.
โThe fun stuff
โWe're playing a game called Slop or Not. We put AI-generated engineering material on the screen (images, 3D models, confident technical statements) and the room votes: is this real engineering or is it slop? Some of them will fool you. That's the fun part.
โBragging rights and a surprise gift for whoever has the best eye in the room.
โDinner and networking
โFood and drinks are served. The room is deliberately curated: engineers, engineering managers, and founders in hardware, manufacturing, and industrial products. You will leave with people worth knowing.
โWho this event is for:
โMechanical, manufacturing, and product engineers. Engineering and service leaders. Technical founders building physical products. If your work involves parts, assemblies, tooling, or the people who support them, this is your room.
โThis is not an event for AI tourists. Registration is reviewed, and approval is required. Seats are limited to keep the roundtable useful.
โAbout the Host:
โ3DScribe converts 3D CAD assemblies into semantically rich, AI-queryable knowledge. Manufacturers use it to give support teams, field service, and customers expert-level answers about their products. Attendees can get a first assembly processed free, no strings attached
