LEAP 71: Why engineering must move beyond CAD to realise the promise of AI and Additive Manufacturing

While AI is accelerating innovation across industries, engineering design remains slow, manual and opaque, constrained by tools such as CAD that capture geometry but not intent.

In this article, LEAP 71 co-founder Lin Kayser argues that to realise the full potential of Additive Manufacturing, and enable meaningful AI in hardware development, we have to rethink how machines are designed. His solution is Computational Engineering, a system that encodes physics, constraints, and logic directly into code, transforming engineering into a scalable, intelligent process.

What is metal Additive Manufacturing?

Metal Additive Manufacturing, also known as metal 3D printing, enables the production of complex parts without many of the constraints of traditional manufacturing processes. 

It is defined as “the process of joining materials to make parts from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing and formative manufacturing methodologies.”
