Mike HerneGUEST
Right.
Jacob AlbaughGUEST
Um, so I actually took a old suppressor, um, I cut one end of it off, I took it to a local shop, we welded it up on the other end, uh, to where it had female threads on it, and I had my muzzle brake, a very popular five-port titanium muzzle brake, and I just modeled it in SolidWorks.
Mike HerneGUEST
Yeah.
Jacob AlbaughGUEST
And I gave, like, took it to a machine shop.
Oluwaseyi SosanyaGUEST
In the spatial world, we don't have a ton of references.
Oluwaseyi SosanyaGUEST
We can't reference a CATIA or a SOLIDWORKS and say, we're just going to do what they do.
Oluwaseyi SosanyaGUEST
If you do that, I think you're going to end up like... what we've seen earlier where you just have a bunch of panels in space.
Oluwaseyi SosanyaGUEST
We really have to look at the physical world.
Gregory BradleyGUEST
Um, so we were always subcontracting it out.
Gregory BradleyGUEST
I, my friend was a technology teacher, and, um, I sent him sketches and I, and got him to make drawings on SolidWorks, and then we'd go to a subcontracting firm, and they would laser cut and weld, and then you'd drive the equipment to a powder coater.
Conan DohertyHOST
Yeah.
Gregory BradleyGUEST
And it was just, you know, when you're a small business, it's fine, but it got fairly not best use of your time.
Karl DenningerGUEST
And so I had finite element analysis software.
Karl DenningerGUEST
I was using a Libra instead of SolidWorks because I was doing all of the simulation work and the fit work and the CNC file building and stuff necessary to do the handsets.
Karl DenningerGUEST
And obviously, if you have water go into electronics at 300 feet, you're very dead very fast.
Tom HaughHOST
So that's pretty serious stuff.
Scott DowGUEST
This was just a sketch up.
Scott DowGUEST
We took it into SolidWorks so we could find collision in there and there was collision.
Scott DowGUEST
So we were able to deal with some of the problems And it was nice to work with Mike at Swabac.
Scott DowGUEST
He was just like, move it this way, move it this way.
Brandon MathisHOST
I would have a laptop, but it wouldn't be this, oh, I need this super beefy machine, really, really beefy machine so we can get rocking with it.
Brandon MathisHOST
I mean, that sounds interesting, but, I mean, there are plenty of companies out there that utilize – I mean, there are companies that do 3D modeling like SolidWorks and CAD and stuff like that.
Brandon MathisHOST
I don't know if they have a similar environment where they work up in the cloud, but –
Rafael MendiolaGUEST
Maybe.
Juliann GrantHOST
We're really glad you're here.
Juliann GrantHOST
If you take a mechanical design from SolidWorks, an electrical design from Ultium, and a procurement file and dump them all into ChatGPT and ask it to make a decision, well, good luck.
Juliann GrantHOST
And that's the exact problem our guest today has spent the last year trying to solve.
Juliann GrantHOST
It's why he built something that he calls a product memory flywheel.
6 MINS LATER
Oleg ShilovitskyGUEST
from different systems and also not only from systems but also from the activities so why i why i've seen it important is because the acceleration of ai trigger a question about how we can reason on top of the wide scope of information and this information is not well let me give you an example Just imagine that you want to make a decision and it's involved mechanical, electronics, and some procurement.
Oleg ShilovitskyGUEST
What are you going to do? Okay, let's take a file from a procurement system.
Oleg ShilovitskyGUEST
Let's take mechanical design from SolidWorks.
Oleg ShilovitskyGUEST
Let's take some electronic design from Altium, dump it in ChatGPT, and ask a question.
LeviUNKNOWN
not in the near future could also be able to show solid works like software comparison right yeah like how you would work in another software alone
TJ SchwartzHOST
yeah Yeah, I think personally I really like SolidWorks for design.
TJ SchwartzHOST
I recommend it to most people, but I don't know how many.
TJ SchwartzHOST
I probably have talked all of zero people into getting it because of the cost.
TJ SchwartzHOST
Because of the cost.
TJ SchwartzHOST
But I do like SolidWorks.
Lucas BurnleyHOST
I'm close at this point.
Lucas BurnleyHOST
Partially because I feel like with Fusion, I've got enough of a base that I'm getting pretty comfortable with solid modeling.
Craig ObristHOST
[laughs] You-
Paul BogushGUEST
There, there was a situation where the company asked for a SolidWorks file, which again-
Craig ObristHOST
Yeah
Paul BogushGUEST
...
Paul BogushGUEST
And so I...
Paul BogushGUEST
That, this was during the summer, so this was during July.
Paul BogushGUEST
I decided to download a free trial of SolidWorks, 'cause, you know, paying for it is-
Craig ObristHOST
Yeah
Mike BassettHOST
So how would you develop a virtual representation, that's what we used to call it, right, of a machine that allows for PLC code validation before the hardware assembly is complete?
Brian RomanoGUEST
I have been to several conferences and trade shows and things like that where The epitome of this is you design it in SOLIDWORKS or AutoCAD.
Brian RomanoGUEST
You write the code and you're doing that in an offline environment.
Brian RomanoGUEST
You mush them together in software packages that will do the digital twin as what we're talking about here.
