The Digital Thread

Doing the right things in the prototyping phase is a bit more complex than it looks at first glance. Hardware requires special rules to get the results you need.

Our new consultative design service addresses design feedback and gets your parts ready for manufacturability within our automated system.

In this, our second post in the series, we take a closer look at what is arguably the most important benefit of the platform, sandwiched between your request for analysis and actual placement of your order. It’s our automated, interactive design analysis. And with the relaunch of our new platform, you’ll see that we’ve given it a modern interface along with some new features you’ll find valuable.

We take a look at the different CNC design considerations when designing parts for milling and turning processes which can accelerate production and reduce your costs.

As product development speeds up, the design rules are changing. Nowhere is this more apparent when looking at the industrial 3D printing process of direct metal laser sintering.

How thorough planning and preparation reduces the risk of failing to hit verification deadlines.

Augmented reality means business as companies like Apple apply the technology to commercial use.
