AI as a Force Multiplier for Engineering Design: How SKETCH combines engineering judgment, manufacturing expertise, and AI to work faster.
How can engineering teams move faster without losing sight of how a product will be made? Join Gregg Bennett of SKETCH Design Consultancy for a practical look at how his team connects research, concept development, and manufacturing feedback from the start.
Gregg will share how SKETCH uses AI in its day-to-day work, why engineers remain central to decisions, and how the team is experimenting with overnight simulation.
What we'll cover:
The engineering challenge: Balancing speed, cost, manufacturability, and sound judgment.
Designing with manufacturing in mind: Connecting research, concepts, and machinist feedback early.
AI in SKETCH’s workflow: Where tools add value and where human expertise remains essential.
From approach to practice: A real-world engineering example.
Lights-out simulation: Using idle computing capacity to run simulations overnight.
Adopting AI without a silver bullet: Lessons from testing and refining SKETCH’s approach.
