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.

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.

Read ArticleMeshify Lattice Structures: Lightweight Components
Meshify is a software tool which enables designs that take full advantage of 3D printing and create something that’s never been available before. The secret of Meshify’s successes lies in their innovative algorithms that create structures with significantly less material. This has a significant impact on 3D printing, where material is in direct proportion to cost and production time. Over the past few years they have developed advanced processes to reduce the material while maintaining the strength of industrial components.
Read ArticleTop 3D printing innovators meet in Berlin
Almost 2 years ago, the Berliner 3D-Druck Netzwerk was founded as a partnership between Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie GmbH and 3YOURMIND GmbH. The network has grown to be a meeting point for over 150 3D printing enthusiasts attending each event. There are few places where so many companies working on the cusp of innovation exchange ideas and momentum.
