Not everyone thinks CAD is fun. When prototyping things for 3D printing, I just want a “mount for this controller board with Xmm spacing and N holes”; I would be completely happy using AI for most of it.

“Connect these two parts”, “add screw holes here”, “make a snap fit joint”, “make it 8cm wide”, “move these holes to the other side” is what I dream of!

I played around with a trial of the generative design stuff in Fusion, and my biggest takeaway was that it’s at least as much work to set up all your loads and attachment points and keep-outs and so forth as it is to just model the part myself. Similar to vibe coding in a language I know, really.
