Generative AI Image Generation for Engineers: A Short Adobe Firefly Tutorial | |
|
One of the most useful types of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools to bubble to the top of so many options is image generation. There are several fantastic free and a growing number of paid solutions for turning text into an image or filling in a portion of an existing picture with something new. I played with a few and have settled on Adobe Firefly as a perfect fit for business. Here is a tutorial to help you get started.

Flownex Model Version Control with GIT Client | |
Flownex 2024 has added version control in the form of a Git Client. In Git, all versions of a project and related files are stored in either a local or a remote repository (aka “repo”). This benefits the user as we are able to revert to older versions of a project merge changes made by multiple users, create branches within a design, and capture all changes in a log. The repository can also function as a form of backup. | |

A type of vat photopolymerization additive manufacturing where a projector under a transparent build plate shines ultraviolet light onto the build layer, which is against the transparent build plate. The part is then pulled upward so that a new layer of liquid fills between the build plate and the part, and the process is repeated. This process also includes precise control of temperature, pull forces, and fluid flow in the vat.
Abbreviated as P3.
