AI-Enabled Assembly Configuration Spaces: Encoding Mechanical Intuition at the Design-Manufacturing Interface

CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — Washington DC 2026
Sai Nelaturi · C-Infinity
The gap between digital design and physical assembly is not primarily a geometry problem. It is a reasoning problem. Engineering teams spend thousands of hours communicating assembly intent through manual CAD workflows, managing configuration complexity across product variants, and catching fitment and feasibility issues that could have been identified before any metal was cut. The cost is measured in weeks of engineering time per product release cycle.
