Illustrated engineering in everyday objects

I take the product apart. CAD it up. Illustrate each view. Then animate and lay it out for the web. That sounds quick, but it does take me quite a bit of time to create each one.

How "tribology" became a new industrial science

the automation of heavy machinery enabled plants to operate continuously, increasing productivity and revenue. The downside was that any small hiccup was acutely felt, cascading through the production line. At first, it was assumed that inadequate lubrication of factory equipment was causing parts to seize up or break apart. And so, the Lubrication and Wear Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, along with the Iron

Using AI as a Design Engineer

When I work on something, whether it's at Interfere or my personal projects, I like to experiment a lot. Design engineering is a lot about trial and error, and I often spend hours trying to find the "this feels right" moment. This is where AI helps. Instead of spending hours on a concept that I'm unsure of, I try that concept out in a matter of minutes, and throw it away if it doesn't feel right.
