# M3L at the Institute of Mechanics Wins AI-BOOST SPARK Phase

**Date:** 2026-10-22

M3L Group at the Institute of Mechanics, Armenia, has been selected as [one of five SPARK-phase winners](https://aiboost-project.eu/announcing-the-spark-phase-selected-winners-for-the-ai-boost-ai-challenge-competition/) for Challenge 2 of the AI-BOOST AI Challenge Competition. During the ADVANCE phase, our team will develop its project, ‘Constraint-Grounded Agentic CAD for Compressor-Skid Piping and Autonomous Simulation’, in collaboration with the challenge owner, SIAD Group.

[The project](https://aiboost-project.eu/ai-challenge-competition/) will develop an AI system that generates editable parametric CAD models of compressor-skid piping and supports automated meshing and simulation. It will use engineering drawings both to reconstruct existing designs and to learn constraints that guide new piping layouts.

During the ADVANCE phase, the team will develop and validate its proposed solution with technical guidance and access to European supercomputing infrastructure.

[AI-BOOST](https://aiboost-project.eu/) supports European teams working on trustworthy generative AI for real industrial and societal challenges. The project is funded under the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under [Grant Agreement No. 101135737](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101135737). We look forward to working with SIAD Group during the ADVANCE phase and developing our solution into a validated engineering workflow.
