One-day event exploring how AI, simulation, and design accelerate innovation in aerospace and manufacturing.
nTop announced the 2025 nTop Computational Design Summit (nCDS), scheduled for June 24, 2025, in Los Angeles. The one-day event will bring together industry experts, customers, and nTop executives to discuss how computational design, AI, and machine learning are influencing engineering and product development by providing efficient and adaptable solutions to complex design challenges.

Engineering organizations are navigating a generational shift, driven by the need for faster development timelines, deeper simulation integration, and AI-enhanced automation. As industries embrace digital transformation, tools that enable rapid iteration, performance optimization, and scalable workflows are becoming essential. nCDS reflects this momentum, bringing together leading voices in high-performance engineering to explore how computational design is reshaping the future of product development.
Featured speakers include:
- Carlos Mendez, Staff Opto-Mechanical Engineer, Lockheed Martin
- Michael Emory, Product Manager, Luminary
- Markus Lempke, Computational Design for AM, Siemens Energy
- Andy Kappers, Mechanical Engineer, Siemens Energy
- Jan Vandenbrande, formerly DARPA, Boeing
- George Allen, nTop Fellow
Geared towards engineers who want to learn about the tools and methods for applying computational design to their work, nCDS will feature keynote presentations, engineering case studies, partner demonstrations, and hands-on training sessions. Attendees will gain insights into the latest advancements in computational design, including AI-driven engineering workflows, simulation efficiency breakthroughs, and the future of aircraft and turbomachinery design.
Participants will see how leading engineering teams generate validated design variants—complete with geometry and physics results—in hours, rather than weeks. Interactive sessions will demonstrate how computational design enables faster iteration, deeper simulation integration, and better product outcomes across every stage of development.
