## Summary

Lin Kayser, CEO of Hyperganic Group, explains how his company uses advanced algorithms to shift engineering from a visual, manual process to a code-based software paradigm. He details how this approach allows engineers to generate highly optimized, complex objects on demand, particularly benefiting additive manufacturing by enabling rapid iteration and superior performance in applications like heat exchangers and bioprinting. Kayser argues that this technology can supercharge engineers, bridge the manufacturing skills gap, and transform global trade by shifting the focus from shipping physical components to licensing algorithms for production in localized, automated factories.
