    Where AI Fits in Manufacturing Engineering

    In this episode of ASME TechCast, we're joined by Bradley Hope, Steven Gerdeman, and Rahul Rajadhyaksha to explore how AI is reshaping design for manufacturing and where it meets its limits. Learn why rule-based systems remain essential, what the "cold start problem" reveals about AI's limitations, and how a hybrid approach will likely define the next generation of workflows.This podcast is sponsored by HCL Software DFMPro, a CAD-integrated design for manufacturing software that helps designers deliver high quality designs at lower cost.

    Robots That Work With Us: How Cobots Are Changing Manufacturing

    Cobots are designed to work alongside people, assisting with repetitive or physically demanding tasks. As manufacturers face labor shortages, these robotic systems are becoming an important tool for supporting workers and keeping them at the center of production.In this TechCast episode, we speak with Christine Bush of Schneider Electric about how cobots are being deployed in modern manufacturing environments and the role they play in building resilient, sustainable industrial operations.

    Welding Pathways

    ASME TechCast kicks off a new series, “Meet Your Educator,” spotlighting engineering professionals at ASME Learning & Development who are providing specialized training to help engineering professionals advance their skills and grow their careers. In this episode, Chris O'Rourke, manager of the Educator Community, chats with welding instructor Logan Kucerak, owner and founder of Kucerak Engineering. With more than two decades in the welding industry, Kucerak has led welded fabrication and installation projects across six continents. His professional background spans the oil and gas, power generation, and desalination industries. He now applies his expertise to pressurized and non-pressurized ground support equipment in the aerospace industry. After listening, if you would like to take a course with Kucerak, check out the classes he currently teaches on ASME.org. He has also launched a YouTube channel, where he will be posting content in the near future.

    Additive Manufacturing’s Humble Beginnings at Ford

    The global additive manufacturing industry is currently valued somewhere around $30 billion, depending on which analyst you ask, but many projections expect that value to grow beyond $100 billion as soon as around 2030. But according to Women in 3D Printing, a global organization dedicated to promoting, supporting, and inspiring women who are using Additive Manufacturing technologies, women only make up about 13 percent of the global industry. Jonné Messer joins ASME TechCast to share the story behind how 3D printing got started at Ford, how the company is working to bring new talent into the industry, what challenges additive manufacturing faces in the years ahead, and more.Messer is global additive manufacturing lead at Ford Motor Company, where she’s spent nearly 30 years. She was recently awarded the 2025 TCT Women in 3D Printing Innovator Award, which recognizes women who are leading the charge in developing, enhancing, and innovating within the 3D printing and additive manufacturing world.

    A Coatings Primer

    Do you ever think much about paint and coatings? Or the fact that pretty much everything in the built environment has some sort of protection on it? Paint and coatings are a $200 billion global industry, according to the American Coatings Association. Engineers are constantly developing new and innovative protections to ensure structures can withstand the elements and even improve a building’s energy savings or carbon footprint.      Paul Lavallee joins ASME TechCast to share some insights into the coatings industry. Lavallee is global market manager of Kynar Coatings at Arkema, where he has spent 27 years in a variety of engineering, manufacturing, research, supply chain, and business roles. He holds a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Business Administration Executive Certificate from University of Notre Dame.
