Folks like @aphysicist building the future of manufacturing @bscholl creating next-generation supersonic jets @TheaEnergy presenting Helios, their first-generation stellarator fusion plant @EdwardMehr deploying high mix reconfigurable manufacturing @jimbelosic gigascaling fast turnaround parts production @jordannoone with AI accelerated CAD and CAM @intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, I mean, its the CEO of intel @LongshotSpace building space cannons to LEO @tybernstein deploying nuclear batteries for land, sea and space and chief scientist of Pacific Fusion Will Regan, who's raised $950 million to commercialize magnetized target fusion If you want to see the future being built today, come to SF for June 22nd-26th Everything is free to attend.

How cute is this playful cat-themed tabletop shelf by our co-founder @jenna_bryant? It's perfect for organizing small items on a bathroom counter, closet shelf, desk, vanity, or nightstand. Perfect for skincare, perfumes, accessories, makeup, or tiny treasures. 🌊 View it in our Aquarium: zoo.dev/aquarium/dc4f0caa-99…

You can now extrude surfaces! Create open surfaces in Zoo Design Studio for surface modeling workflows. zoo.dev/docs/zoo-design-stud…

Check out this simple, reliable boring cutter holder for 7x10 mini lathes made by Nadro on our team! 📐Explore the design here: zoo.dev/aquarium/9f1be0a1-ef…

Guide your geometry exactly where it needs to go. Use Sweep in Zoo Design Studio to carry a profile along a path as an open surface. Ideal for guide surfaces, routed geometry, and path-driven forms that will be refined later. 🛠️ Learn more: zoo.dev/docs/zoo-design-stud…

Zoo Design Studio just got a major upgrade, constraint-driven sketching! 🎉 While AI has been one of our biggest differentiators, we’re also leveling up the core design experience, starting with faster, cleaner, more intuitive sketching. Read more about what’s new: zoo.dev/blog/announcing-solv…

Fully customizable annotations are available in Zoo Design Studio within our new GD&T feature set. Can be set up traditionally, via Zookeeper, or programmatically via KCL.

a car bumper created in Zoo Design Studio using basic surface modeling WIP features: sweep for the rough shape, extrude/split for the cutouts, and mirror for the second half

manually creating models in ZDS is fun - you can jump between classic CAD UI and code. AI is sneaking even into this workflow though. sometimes I just ask what’s next, or what I forgot - and it nails it every time. tysm. btw you can check out this model in the aquarium: zoo.dev/aquarium/fcaf6b31-90…

Blockout of a turbojet turbine blade w the root, made with Zoo Design Studio. Another piece from our little project - an educational study model for kids. Creates mostly manually, with little help from AI to understand what are the options.
