FoDES - Future of Design & Engineering Software

Rare earth magnets, AI data center energy demand, and electrification are colliding in one place most people ignore: the electric motor. I sit down with Jarek Rzepecki from Monumo to get practical about what it takes to...

Your wireless device can pass every isolated RF check and still disappoint in the real world. That’s the uncomfortable truth behind crowded stadium Wi-Fi, high-speed mobility, and the next wave of machine-type...

We talk with John Harrington, co-founder of HighByte, about why factory-floor data stays invisible to the teams who need it most and how Industrial DataOps closes that gap. We explore contextualized data pipelines, the...

We talk with Juan Carlos Santamaria about how AI in engineering has evolved from rule-based robotics to modern systems that perceive job sites and help machines make better decisions. We dig into Trimble’s push from AI...

We talk with OpenSpace CTO Michael Fleischman about turning job-site photos into spatial data that teams can actually act on, from 360 degree capture to progress tracking and AI agents. We dig into why construction...

Matt McElvogue, VP at Teague, talks about Teague's human-centered design. We explore how building early aligns design, engineering, and business, and why full-scale prototypes beat slide decks. From accessible aircraft...

We talk with Makistry founder Parth Meta about turning plain English prompts into parametric CAD and why a structured AI “brainstorm” can speed design without losing engineering control. We dig into standards-aware...

We trace how focused simulation wins over all-in-one platforms, then try to find out more about the design of an Olympic helmet — with no luck. Rand Simulation experts use LS-DYNA and validate the results to cut risk...

Amit Shastri, CTO Americas at Digitate, explains how composite AI moves operations from reactive firefighting to predictive and autonomous action, without sidelining human judgment or ripping out trusted systems...

We talk with Lukas Fraser, VP of Product at Looq AI, about a camera-first platform that delivers survey-grade 3D models and automates utility workflows. We cover hardware design, accuracy claims, pole and cable analysis...

We talk to Tudor Vasiliu, founder and director of Panoptikon, about how architects use AI to elevate visualization without losing control, unpacking “AI passes,” professional guardrails, and why speed still needs...

We talk with CTO and co-founder Theopile Allard about Neural Concept’s AI copilot for engineering and how option-driven workflows change speed, creativity, and trust in simulation-heavy design. We explore physics...

We talk with Arjun and Kanal Jain, co-founders of Tandem about building an AI knowledge layer that captures design decisions, links requirements to CAD, and helps engineers spend more time designing. We compare...

We explore how complex electrical systems can be designed faster and with more confidence by combining an intuitive canvas with deep electrical intelligence and pragmatic AI. Anthony Samuel shares lessons from aerospace...

We explore how GIS connects BIM, CAD, and reality capture into usable context for design, construction, and operations. Gaussian splatting takes center stage as Patrick Wallace explains how it preserves fine detail and...
