This book examines the use of artificial intelligence in design and digital prototyping across different scales, from products and objects to buildings and urban environments. It reviews current AI models applied in design, discusses the use of generative approaches such as diffusion models and GANs, and considers the role of platforms and ecosystems in supporting these processes. Drawing on examples across small, medium, and large scales, it outlines a methodological framework that connects AI-based generation with digital prototyping, offering a structured overview for researchers and practitioners interested in computational design.

This book offers a thorough examination of CAD-based programming in the context of design and manufacturing, structured across five key chapters. Readers will explore topics such as automated design, geometry feature recognition, and system assembly, as well as the generation of CNC codes directly from CAD models. The book delves into the integration of CAD with CAM and other modules, while addressing the opportunities and challenges posed by emerging technologies like AI and machine learning. Whether you are a designer, engineer, or simply interested in the field, this resource provides both practical insights and a forward-looking perspective on CAD-based workflows.

This book covers machining simulations using advanced nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) methodologies coupled with CAD-based techniques. The content increases awareness about the possibilities to reduce the actual experimental work via experimentally validated simulations using nonlinear finite element analysis.
