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

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.
