Detroit Engineered Products (DEP) announced DEP AIWorks, a new AI-powered engineering platform aimed at accelerating product development by combining machine learning and physically-based simulation.
Built on the foundation of DEP’s established MeshWorks platform, AIWorks brings together predictive AI, generative design, and simulation-driven intelligence in a single environment. The platform uses advanced technologies such as neural networks and physical information models in conjunction with traditional CAE solvers to deliver accurate, engineering-relevant results.
Unlike traditional solutions tied to specific tools or applications, DEP AIWorks is designed to be both physics and tool agnostic, allowing engineers to work seamlessly across different datasets, domains, and stages of product development, from early design to validation to manufacturing.
The platform offers a modular, scalable architecture with features such as rapid prediction, automatic parameterization, optimization, and centralized data management. According to DEP, engineers can significantly reduce simulation time from hours to minutes, enabling faster decision-making and increased productivity.
AIWorks supports a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing, helping organizations shorten development cycles while maintaining engineering accuracy and reliability.
Radha Krishnan, president and founder of the company, said, “DEP AIWorks reflects the next step in how engineering organizations deploy AI as an integrated part of the product development lifecycle, rather than as a standalone tool. By combining decades of simulation expertise with advances in AI, we enable teams to move faster while maintaining engineering rigor and reliability.”
This announcement follows DEP’s MeshWorks X AIWorks Conclave 2026. The event is a multi-city event that brings together industry leaders to explore the role of AI in transforming engineering and manufacturing.
