Detroit Engineered Products (DEP) has unveiled DEP AIWorks, a new AI-powered engineering platform aimed at accelerating product development by combining machine learning with physics-based simulation.
Built on the foundation of DEP’s established MeshWorks platform, AIWorks integrates predictive AI, generative design and simulation-driven intelligence into a single environment. The platform uses advanced technologies such as neural networks and physics-informed models alongside traditional CAE solvers to deliver accurate and engineering-relevant outcomes.
Unlike conventional solutions tied to specific tools or applications, DEP AIWorks is designed to be both physics-agnostic and tool-agnostic, allowing engineers to work seamlessly across different datasets, domains and stages of product development—from early design to validation and manufacturing.
The platform offers a modular and scalable architecture with capabilities such as rapid prediction, automated parameterisation, optimisation and centralised data management. DEP said engineers can significantly reduce simulation times from hours to minutes, enabling faster decision-making and improved productivity.
AIWorks supports a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, energy and manufacturing, helping organisations shorten development cycles while maintaining engineering accuracy and reliability.
Mr. Radha Krishnan, President & Founder of the company said, “DEP AIWorks reflects the next step in how engineering organizations will adopt AI, not as a standalone tool, but as an integrated part of the product development lifecycle. By combining decades of simulation expertise with advances in AI, we are enabling teams to move faster while maintaining engineering rigor and reliability.”
The launch follows DEP’s MeshWorks X AIWorks Conclave 2026, a multi-city event that brought together industry leaders to explore the role of AI in transforming engineering and manufacturing.
