Tips from the ZVerse Design Network: 4 Ways to Optimize Your 3D File for Better Digital Manufacturing Results

You’re ready to manufacture. You have a 3D file. You know the budget you have to work with. You have an idea of the materials you’d like to use.

Not so fast. You have a 3D file – necessary because digital manufacturers can’t work off of 2D images – but is it optimized for manufacturing?

As digital manufacturing becomes accessible to more individuals and small businesses, many are attempting to pull together their own 3D models to save money. While many powerful 3D modeling softwares exist, creating manufacturable, optimized files isn’t something the software is going to do for you.

Challenging the Injection Molding Industry with DLS™ 3D Printing

A common debate within manufacturing has been whether 3D printing could overcome enough obstacles to replace injection molding. But in past years, the gap between the two processes was too great to overcome for many reasons. And at the end of the day, injection molding offered the benefits of:

Keeping Customers in Your Ecosystem

A lot has been written in the last few years about customer experience, customer retention and the “ecosystem” of a company. But what does this mean exactly? And what steps can a company take to keep customers thriving within its ecosystem without defecting to a competitor?

Using 3D Design Services for Top-of-Funnel Lead Generation

Top-of-funnel lead generation is tricky. Using just the right pitch, leads can be converted to sales. Overcompensate or under-compensate and the lead moves on to another supplier.

How Design on Demand Will Change On-Demand Manufacturing

In the last ten years, a lot has been written on the concept of disruption and disrupting technology. A lot of that discussion has centered around technologies like 3D printing, specifically On Demand Manufacturing, in the first part of this century, and personal computers/transistors in the second half of the last century. Each one drove significant change and created new industries while obsoleting others. And few would disagree that Amazon has disrupted everything from retail to shipping to logistics to marketing to big data analytics.

Design Challenges for On-Demand Manufacturing

-The number of 3D printing service bureaus continues to increase to meet demand for 3D printed parts.

-Today, much of the demand for 3D printed parts comes from customers with legacy parts that need to be digitized before production.

-Less than 1% of 3D printing service bureaus offer design services which results in a frustrated customer and a lost production opportunity for the service bureau.

Why Graphic Designers Should Learn 3D Design

20 years ago graphic designers were facing another massive shift in their market: the internet.Many graphic designers who didn’t learn web design skills found themselves without jobs. Businesses wanted designers who could not only create graphics, but also the web pages to display them on.3D design has the potential to leave just as massive an effect on the design industry. So you might want to get prepared.
