Mechanical engineer tests ChatGPT 3D scan CAD workflow

A mechanical engineer tests ChatGPT's ability to process 3D scans and photographs of physical objects, generating watertight CAD-compatible solid models and STL files for 3D printing without using traditional CAD software like Fusion 360. The author argues that this capability suggests AI tools are poised to disrupt engineering and CAD design roles in a manner similar to how they impacted computer programming. Open article →
