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

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 software exist, creating manufacturable, optimized files isn’t something the software is going to do for you.
