When we were amazed at the birth of a new 3D printer, we might have forgotten a powerful software system behind their hardware, quietly analyzing, optimizing, and reporting important information related to the additive manufacturing process. This enables
3D Printing scale to be achieved.
According to China's 3D printer network,
3D Printing Service provider FATHOM recently acquired the ownership of a data analysis software from an American startup, Inc., Inc., in order to improve service quality and reduce costs. With this software, FATHOM can obtain data feedback and analysis reports for each part of 3D printing, making it effective to streamline and optimize 3D printing services.
FATHOM is a Seattle-based company that provides high quality, high speed prototyping services to companies around the world, including plastic 3D printing and
metal 3d printing (FDM, PolyJet,
Sla, SLS, DMSL),
cnc machining, fast Mold making, 3D printing mold making,
Injection Molding, and more. It is also an authorized partner and distributor of Stratasys 3D printers. In 2011, FATHOM also set up SmartQuote, a very useful online platform for quoting and ordering 3D printing parts.
Rich Stump, co-founder and head of FATHOM, said: "In order for the industry to continue to move forward, software upgrades must be done. Through data analysis, we can enhance performance, reduce costs, and scale these cutting-edge technologies. "
Research Director Carlo Qui? onez added: "FATHOM is working to develop a next-generation product data management (PDM) system that future engineers can analyze for each 3D printed part."
