How it’s done.

Start here

• Getting started: the first ten minutes · 2 min — You installed Patok Lab. Here are the first ten minutes: the system's warning, the terms, your account, the assistant and a first project.
• The project: hub, README, notebook and files · 2 min — The four screens every project has and what each is for: the newest result and its chain, the brief the assistant reads, notes that resolve, data left in place.
• So what exactly is Patok Lab? · 1 min — The question everyone asks first, answered with the real application.
• Design by talking? From photos and voice to CAD · 1 min — You come in with photos and a conversation; the part comes out, measured.
• Remix: start from someone else's project · 2 min — Somebody published a project. You want to start from it, not from an empty folder.
• The project register: what exists, and what is missing · 1 min — Somebody asks where the job is. You want to answer without opening five folders.
• From a narrated video to editable CAD · 1 min — You show it and tell it; out comes a CAD base with reviewable evidence.
• Photos and voice as the real input · 2 min — From photographs and narration to a product designed and prepared.
• Tutorial: from photos and narration to a manufacturable product · 8 min — Eight minutes, a multi-part product: CAD, per-part processes, and what comes off each machine.

CAD and assemblies

• From the robot dog to a modular leg · 1 min — A whole assembly, and how it splits into the parts that actually get made.
• Inside the leg · 1 min — What a leg carries: plates, axles, spacers and what gets bought.
• From a request to an assembly · 1 min — Designing is also deciding what gets made, bought or sent out.
• The station the AI proposed · 1 min — A manual fastening station, proposed and reviewed inside the workbench.

Machining

• The corner CAD allows and a cutter cannot make · 1 min — Why a square-cornered pocket cannot be cut, and what Patok Lab does when it finds one.
• Part processes: make it, buy it, or send it out · 1 min — You have a part. Before any program exists: how should this one be made?
• Milling: where to click · 2 min — You have a part. You want a program. Here is the road, then where to click.
• Turning: where to click · 2 min — You have a shaft. You want a program a lathe can run. Here is the road, then where to click.
• Shop library: where the numbers come from · 1 min — Every speed and every feed in a plan comes from somewhere. It comes from here.
• Everything this project makes · 5 min — The artifacts: what made them, which version, and how to read them back.
• From the drawing to the G-code · 5 min — The whole road, live and unedited.

Molds

• A box: see the mold the AI proposed · 1 min — From the plastic part to the tooling, with its press.
• Molds: from the product part to a two-plate tool · 1 min — You have a moulded part. You want the tool that makes it.
• From a narrated product to its mold design · 1 min — You describe the product; out comes its manufacturing design, mold included.

Robotics

• From a sentence to a robot path · 1 min — A turbine blade, not a flat coupon: the path follows the surface.
• Process robotics: a path on a real surface · 1 min — You have a part and a process that has to move over it. You want a program the robot can run.
• The part, or the tool? · 1 min — What moves in a robotic process, and why it matters before you program.

Imaging and metrology

• Micrographs: turning an image into a measurement · 1 min — You have a micrograph. What you need is a number you can defend.
• From a micrograph to a decision · 1 min — Reviewable measurements that land in the experiment table.

Experiments

• A campaign: runs, explore, statistics, models, episodes · 2 min — A table with inputs and a response travels through five screens; what each one answers, on the published cold-spray campaign.
• Design of experiments: choosing the runs before you make them · 1 min — Four factors, two levels each. Sixteen runs. You have time for eleven.
• Recommend the next experiment · 1 min — Sixteen runs are done. The question is what to run seventeenth.

Simulation

• Simulation models: a line before it exists · 1 min — You want to know what a line does before you build it.

Microturbine · the whole case

• Microturbine: from photos and voice to traceable decisions · 1 min — The whole case in a minute: photos and narration in, engineering with evidence out.
• Microturbine · chapter 2 · 1 min — One stretch of the case, with the real application.
• Microturbine · chapter 3 · 1 min — One stretch of the case, with the real application.
• Microturbine · chapter 4 · 1 min — One stretch of the case, with the real application.
• Microturbine · chapter 5 · 1 min — One stretch of the case, with the real application.
• Microturbine · chapter 6 · 2 min — One stretch of the case, with the real application.
