CDFAM Amsterdam 2025: Speaker Lineup Announced

CDFAM Amsterdam returns July 9-10, 2025, bringing together leading experts in computational design, engineering, and software development to explore its impact across scales—from material development to architectural systems.

This year’s program features a single-track format, fostering interdisciplinary knowledge exchange and discussion. Keynotes will be delivered by:

Federico Casalegno, Executive Vice President of Design at Samsung Electronics, exploring the intersection of computational design and consumer technology.
Mathew Vola, Arup Fellow of Computational Design, sharing insights into the evolving role of computational methods in engineering and the built environment.

Themes and Highlights

The program spans design automation, simulation-driven engineering, AI-driven generative processes, and emerging fabrication techniques, with speakers from leading research institutions, innovative startups, and major industry players.

AI and Generative Design – How AI-driven optimization and machine learning are reshaping product, structural, and material design.
Computational Methods in Manufacturing – The integration of computational tools with additive manufacturing, mass customization, and industrial-scale production.
Emerging Simulation Technologies – Advances in real-time CFD, topology optimization, and physics-driven modeling for complex engineering challenges.
Architectural and Structural Innovation – Bioinspired design, digital fabrication, and large-scale parametric modeling in the built environment.

Speakers from organizations such as MIT, Cornell University, Politecnico di Torino, McNeel Europe, nTop, Ansys, and Flexcompute will present cutting-edge research and real-world applications.

Why Attend?

CDFAM is not just about presentations—it’s about connecting with the people shaping the future of computational design. The event brings together industry leaders, researchers, and software developers for open discussions on where design and engineering are headed. Whether you are exploring new methods, looking for collaborations, or simply aiming to stay ahead of the curve, this is where key conversations happen.
