From Digital Twin to Physical Thing: Managing the Thread Between Design and Print

By Dick Weisinger

Digital twin technology is increasingly integrated into 3D printing strategies to create a continuous thread from the initial design to the final physical product. At its core, a digital twin is a dynamic, real-time virtual model of a physical object

The Hidden Data Behind Every Print: Why 3D Model Files Aren’t Enough

By Dick Weisinger

The 3D printing process relies heavily on digital models such as STL, OBJ, and STEP files, but these file types carry very different kinds and amounts of information. STL files, the most common for 3D printing, primarily represent shape using

Revolutionizing Manufacturing: The Synergy of Document Management and 3D Printing

By Dick Weisinger

The convergence of document management systems (DMS) and 3D printing technologies is ushering in a new era of innovation in manufacturing. This integration is not just about storing 3D model files; it’s about creating a seamless workflow that enhances productivity,

3D Printing and Data Management/Analytics: Innovation from Synergies

By Dick Weisinger

3D printing and data management/analytics may seem like separate things, but they are closely related and mutually beneficial. 3D printing is the process of creating physical objects from digital models, while data management/analytics is the process of collecting, storing, analyzing,

3D Printing: Bike Manufacturers Adopt New Technology

By Dick Weisinger

3D printing is a technology that can create anything by adding layers of material on top of each other. It can make complex shapes that are lighter and stronger than traditional ones. It can also customize things to fit your
