AI-powered Engineering via CADx Integration

The Franco-German software developer CoreTechnologie has entered into a cooperation with the artificial intelligence-driven engineering intelligence platform Leo AI from Cambridge, MA, USA. The technology integration of the new partners enables advanced AI-powered analysis of CADx data on the Leo AI platform through CoreTechnologie's embedded software development kit (SDK) 3D_Kernel_IO.

Automated Analysis

By integrating the SDK into the Leo AI platform, native CAD files from 3D Experience, NX, Creo, Solidworks and neutral formats such as Step and JT are analyzed and interpreted using artificial intelligence (AI). The new technology enables engineers and project managers to gain insights using AI models based on CAD data. This automates decision-making with regard to materials, mechanics, coatings or design considerations. 

The 3D_Kernel_IO Software Developer Kit was developed for access to multi-CAD data. In combination with artificial intelligence, the integrated solution transforms automation in product development and product lifecycle management (PLM) applications with the help of an AI assistant. With 3D_Kernel_IO, Leo AI can access detailed information from the latest versions of all major CAD formats within seconds.

"Our collaboration with Leo AI is a good example of the use of artificial design intelligence in the future," says Armin Brüning, managing director of CoreTechnologie.

"AI is only as powerful as the data it can access,’ adds Moti Moravia, CTO and co-founder of Leo AI. ‘By integrating CoreTechnologie's SDK, we have removed the last major barrier between raw 3D data and artificial intelligence. This opens up a new era where AI is actively involved in engineering workflows."

The new software integration between the two partners is already being used in pilot projects in aerospace and advanced manufacturing. Initial successes have been achieved in the automatic classification of parts, risk detection and the analysis of technical changes. The partnership underlines the joint commitment to innovation and future-orientation in intelligent product development.
