DEVELOP3D LIVE 2026

Welcome to DEVELOP3D LIVE

Space mission development traditionally spans decades from concept to launch. The Text-to-Spaceship framework integrates AI into mission design workflows, dramatically accelerating development through human-AI collaboration. This methodology represents a paradigm shift in aerospace engineering, leveraging AI to amplify human capabilities and significantly compress development timelines.

This talk explores how real-time visualization and VR have transformed my daily automotive design workflow, from OEM projects to hypercars like the Rimac Nevera and Bugatti Mistral. I will also show how strategic use of demo projects and social media positioning helps designers attract high-end clients and stay relevant.

AI is becoming a practical part of design and engineering, reshaping how products are imagined where complexity, speed and adaptability matter more than ever. Learn how AI is being embedded across the Siemens Designcenter portfolio and beyond, connecting intelligent design, simulation and data management across desktop, cloud and immersive workflows.

Design has changed from a sketch driven ideation process to an intent based process. What do II want to create today?

This talk explores how immersive technologies such as Virtual and Augmented Reality are reshaping the design process, enhancing design quality, accelerating decision making and transforming stakeholder engagement. From large commercial vehicles to lightweight electric sports cars, discover how Avant Design has adopted VR to elevate creativity while preserving human intent.

This talk shares how additive manufacturing enabled a design consultancy to create award-winning loudspeakers. By treating 3D printing as a starting point – not just a prototyping tool – we developed patented acoustic technologies, overcame manufacturing challenges, and built scalable products that challenge traditional assumptions about how loudspeakers are designed and made.

Closing remarks

AI is transforming engineering, yet CAD data remains one of the hardest assets to leverage at scale. This session explores how geometry-aware architectures and embedding techniques allow machines to understand shape directly, enabling similarity search, prediction, and business intelligence across engineering workflows.

As product complexity rises, simulation must evolve from isolated analysis to a scalable, decision-making capability. This session explores agentic engineering workflows powered by Engineering AI and Physics AI — enabling guided, physics-grounded autonomy that scales simulation insight across NPI while preserving human oversight and engineering accountability.

Industrial design is entering an AI-native era. The advantage is no longer access to models, but how deeply AI is embedded into 3D workflows, rendering, and decision-making. As capabilities commoditize, designers can even build their own specialized tools. Mosegaard will share lessons from Figurement and what this shift means for you.

For decades, mastering the software interface was enough. AI will automate 80% of what simulation engineers actually do, and exposing a divide that was always there: engineers who understand the physics, and engineers who understood the menus. This talk explores what comes next, and how CDS is already building it.

Presume reflects the aesthetic of its founder, Spencer Livingstone. Striving for warm, cosy atmospheres with dramatic golden-hour lighting. Combined with photorealism and subtle imperfections, each image is crafted to feel authentic and emotive. The result is work that moves beyond visuals alone, creating scenes that feel alive and resonate with viewers.

Industrial design has always been a team sport. But most of our software isn’t. It’s still files passed around, one person at a time. I’ll share how browser-first tools change that: everything linkable, faster decisions, and work that flows from renders into reviews, CMF docs, decks, and even AI edits.

Having spent the last two years running our own restaurant and using it to iterate hardware, software and AI on a daily basis, we realized we had underestimated the challenge of deploying hardware at scale. This is how we, at KAIKAKU.AI, pivoted within 25 days.

This session explores how advanced 3D design and metal additive manufacturing are expanding into critical automotive applications for Pagani and Donkervoort. It’ll examine how these technologies enable complex geometries for demanding functions like heat transfer, structural performance, and weight reduction, redefining what’s possible in high-performance vehicle engineering.
