An AI-generated parametric engineering drawing this complete makes 'AI mechanical engineers' feel near
burhop · x · 2026-11-10
burhop poses an open question: what happens when AI mechanical engineers turn on like a light bulb? He doesn't claim it's soon — he's just curious.
The attached image is the real story: a "TRUSS V4" orthographic drawing for an Allen driver holder with full dimensions (170×124×45mm), four views plus a section view, an editable parametric table, and FDM printing notes (≥3 perimeters, 20–30% infill) — deliverable-manufacturing-drawing quality. The gap between this output and the author's conservative timeline is itself an interesting industry signal.
