generates perfect circuit boards in seconds
You iterate on circuit layouts and physical shells until the prototype functions for the end user.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still physically troubleshoot why the mechanical stress point cracked under load.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
AI models generate ten thousand shell variations before your morning coffee.
Month 6
Neural nets optimize board layouts for signal integrity without your help.
Month 12
Multi-material robotic systems print your hardware shells and circuits together.
Month 16
High-speed actuators snap components into enclosures with sub-millimeter precision.
Year 2 · D-Day
The factory floor no longer requires your creative input or presence.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
