    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system may include a design experience data store containing electronic records associated with prior industrial asset item designs. A deep learning model platform, coupled to the design experience data store, may include a communication port to receive constraint and load information from a designer device. The deep learning platform may further include a computer processor adapted to automatically and generatively create boundaries and geometries, using a deep learning model associated with an additive manufacturing process, for an industrial asset item based on the prior industrial asset item designs and the received constraint and load information. According to some embodiments, the deep learning model computer processor is further to receive design adjustments from the designer device. The received design adjustments might be for example, used to execute an optimization process and/or be fed back to continually re-train the deep learning model.

    Abstract: An airfoil for use in a turbomachine includes a pressure sidewall and a suction sidewall coupled to the pressure sidewall. The suction sidewall and the pressure sidewall define a leading edge and an opposite trailing edge. The leading edge and the trailing edge define a chord distance. The airfoil further includes a root portion, and a tip portion. The tip portion extends between the pressure sidewall and the suction sidewall such that the tip portion is substantially perpendicular to each sidewall. The tip portion includes at least one planar section and at least one oblique section that forms a recess within the tip portion. The at least one oblique section extends from the at least one planar section towards the root portion along the chord distance. The tip portion is configured to reduce airfoil wear during contact with a surrounding casing.
