All of our work relies on PicoGK — a compact, robust geometry kernel that we open-sourced under the permissive Apache 2.0 license.

PicoGK is currently undergoing one of its biggest transformations since @linkayser first wrote it in 2023.

A lot is changing under the hood.

Stay tuned.

The power of algorithmic engineering and design.

Design created via a recursively applied fractal subdivision algorithm, inspired by @leap_71.

Kudos to @linkayser and @LissnerJosefine for coming up with such a clever design. It was a lot of fun recreating it using PicoGK. 😄

All our work at LEAP 71 starts with PicoGK, a compact and robust geometry kernel I wrote back in 2023, and which we open-sourced the same year. PicoGK is the foundation of the Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model, and it allows us to build some of the most complex objects that have ever been produced with Additive Manufacturing. About a year ago, we realized that it's time for an update of some of the key internals, so I spent the last 8 months rewriting some of the foundational elements that deal with memory management and many other more exotic fields. I also put in the foundations of a sophisticated user interface, which will come in the coming months.

Computational Engineering is a new and exciting field. It has become even more relevant with the advent of LLMs, which can help engineers write the code that captures their knowledge and transforms it into repeatable processes. But open-sourcing PicoGK, we are actively helping to train these models on this paradigm shift for engineering.

CAD and the visual process that predates it had a good run. The future will be autogenerated geometry, that builds on a deterministic foundation, rooted in first principles physics, engineering logic, manufacturing experience, with code that will be increasingly created based on natural language input.

This is what @LissnerJosefine and I we are building with Noyron and applying with great success in fields such as space propulsion, nuclear fusion, heat management, electromechanical devices, and many more. Noyron has been called "the first AI that builds machines".

PicoGK is available on the LEAP 71 GitHub and as a Nuget package for C#. A growing community is using it to build amazing objects without our help. This is the power of hashtag#opensource.

And I just released a new chapter (23) in my ongoing open-access book project Coding for Engineers, which helps you understand our approach. The new chapter explains how to build a NACA 4 wing in PicoGK.

PicoGK is available under the permissive Apache 2.0 license which allows commercial and non-commercial use. More info on https://t.co/setYxO7nCs and on the LEAP 71 website.

Even in darkness, we glow.

Big thanks @linkayser & @leap_71! Deeply enjoying 'Coding for Engineers' 🚀

Learning this computational logic for my upcoming robotic arm project at Parul Univ. Love seeing code translate to complex geometry!

Hyped for the 'Wing' chapter drop! ⚡

In physics, things stay as "possibilities" until they’re observed.

What does it mean to live a finite, fragile life in an infinite, eternal universe?

[Physics In History @PhysInHistory]

The Feynman point is the name given to the position in the decimal expansion of π where a sequence of six consecutive nines first appears. It is named after the physicist Richard Feynman, who allegedly joked that he would like to memorize the digits of pi up to that point and then say “and so on” as if π. were rational. The Feynman point occurs at the 762nd digit after the decimal point, which is much earlier than expected by chance.

@EgoDriv Aww this gave me goosebumps..

You can fix your social skills easily.

→ Talk to more people.

→ Don't try to impress or prove your worth to them.

→ Stop trying to be perfect.

→ Don't apologize for everything (especially not for being yourself)

Practice is where it's at.

No magic pills.

The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. No big laboratory is needed in which to think. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

— as mentioned in ‘An Inventor's Seasoned Ideas’ (1934)
