Loading the expert day…
A closed room for the shift into the engineering system
Industrial AI is moving into the model itself - the sketch, the feature tree, the PLM record, and the dataspace around them. That shift is hard to discuss in a webinar, and harder to try alone.
Engineering of the Future is one working day between PTC and AI² – Association Industrial AI. The morning sets the argument: what AI-native engineering changes, where the risk sits, and how CAD, PLM, and dataspaces connect. After lunch the room builds. A prompt becomes a parametric part in Onshape, with the feature tree still visible.
20 seats. Fri, 4 Dec 2026, 10:00–16:30 Munich time. No broadcast. Applications are read by hand, and member applications are read first.
Hosts
Dr. Dirk Alexander MolitorProduct development & V-Model, Accenture
Dirk leads this expert group at AI². His morning impulse is how engineering becomes AI-native, from the model and the feature tree into the lifecycle.
Prof. Dr. Martin EignerAdvisory board. Pioneer of PLM and model-based systems engineering
Martin co-leads the same group. He takes the risks and the opportunities of AI in engineering, after a career connecting product data across the lifecycle.
Christian Ewertz
Director of Market Development, Central Europe
Christian works with customers and industry partners on PLM, the digital twin, and Industrial AI. With Sören he connects CAD, PLM, and dataspaces.
Dr. Sören Münker
Senior Solutions Consultant
Sören connects ALM, CAD, and PLM into one product lifecycle, including in regulated engineering. He shares that session with Christian.
