Digital Inventory in Automated 3D Part Warehouse
3YOURMIND, one of the leading providers of software solutions for additive manufacturing (industrial 3D-printing), is launching their Digital AM Inventory module. With this extension of the 3YOURMIND workflow software, AM experts and engineers can centralize their digital inventory of AM-ready parts and production data. 3D-Files in a Digital AM Inventory are then available throughout organizations to move into production with a single click. This saves significant costs compared to a physical component warehouse, and is an important step towards distributed manufacturing.

Over the past decade, primary business models in almost every industry have shifted because of digitization. Leaders of the digital economy, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook, have leveraged this shift and used software systems to harness, evaluate and process data that have taken over economic leadership in the Platform Era. As a result, the total economic value of harnessing, processing, and sorting data has overtaken the production of goods – at least for now.
Read ArticleHow Can Additive Manufacturing Lower Automotive Costs?
While lean manufacturing techniques have become standard practice for every car manufacturer, there are still several factors that add significant cost to the purchase price. The companies who first maximize new productions methods will secure their competitive advantage in the field.
Read Article5 Ways Additive Manufacturing Lowers Costs for Automotive
The automotive industry is constantly balancing the efficiency of traditional production lines and the demand of servicing customers worldwide. Heads of production and cost analysts need to determine if the benefits of mass fabrication outweigh shipping costs, storage costs, and the amount of time required for production against the benefits of Additive Manufacturing. But as the technology comes of age, the scales are shifting...
Read ArticleIntegrating Functional Design into 3D Printing for Prototypes - Part 2
The more cost effective the prototyping process is, the more and easier it can be to implement it into the design process. 3D printing will become a crucial factor in increasing the rate of innovation, and those companies that master the use pre-assembly for prototyping will have a clear advantage.
Read ArticleIntegrating Functional Design into 3D Printing for Prototypes
Functional design is a simple concept that has large implications when combined with 3D printing. The goal is to simply design modularly so that each individual component serves a specific, individual function. It is very similar to many agile practices that are used in programming and management to ensure that all development goals are in small manageable pieces with potential to test and receive feedback quickly.
