Built as a course project.https://eugenmik.github.io/posts/publishing-a-casting-model/Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://eugenmik.github.io/posts/publishing-a-casting-model/Releasing the solidification surrogate was not a matter of uploading a checkpoint. Checking that the published files reproduce the internal ones, and reporting the results honestly, took longer than the upload.https://eugenmik.github.io/posts/human-in-the-loop-ai-foundry-floor/Tue, 06 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://eugenmik.github.io/posts/human-in-the-loop-ai-foundry-floor/Five design rules from building GussCore, a foundry ERP/MES where workers report by voice and a person confirms every AI proposal.https://eugenmik.github.io/posts/validating-gpu-solidification-solver/Tue, 06 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://eugenmik.github.io/posts/validating-gpu-solidification-solver/How I checked the FoundryFlash solver, and how the largest error turned out to be in the sand data.https://eugenmik.github.io/posts/voxels-or-tetrahedra/Tue, 06 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://eugenmik.github.io/posts/voxels-or-tetrahedra/A staircase boundary misstates the cooling rate where feeding decisions are made. What my own voxel prototype measured, and why a tetrahedral mesh suits a neural network.https://eugenmik.github.io/about/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://eugenmik.github.io/about/<p>I am a foundry engineer. Since 2006 I have designed casting technology, run casting simulations and brought new foundries into production. Over my career I have developed about 1,000 casting technologies.</p> <p>I did not retrain as an AI engineer. I learned modern AI, from graph neural networks to language models, so that I could combine it with what I know about casting. I use it to build software tools for foundries and metallurgy: a GPU solidification solver, a neural network that predicts hot spots from a STEP file in seconds, and shop-floor software where workers report by voice and a person stays in control of what gets saved.</p>https://eugenmik.github.io/legal/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://eugenmik.github.io/legal/<h2 id="contact">Contact</h2> <p>Eugen Miknevic<br> Senftenberg, Germany<br> Email: <a href="mailto:eugenmiknevic@gmail.com">eugenmiknevic@gmail.com</a></p> <p>This is a private, non-commercial website.
