How it works?

Using 3D Spark's Manufacturability Assurance & Technology Benchmarking tool is straightforward. Start by uploading your 3D design file to the platform. The tool will instantly assess your part's manufacturability based on the production technology selected, material, etc. and compare it against industry standards. Based on the analysis, you'll receive actionable insights on potential improvements, alternative production methods, and technology recommendations.

This ensures your design is optimized for cost-efficiency, quality, and manufacturability, helping you make data-driven decisions early in the design process.

Implementation:

Output

3 times less tools
needed for quoting

Output

90% reduced quoting
time

OUTPUT

100% Reduced effort
for answering
unsuitable RFQs

Case study 2

Engineering

Customer- DB

The Problem-
‍
There were challenges in feasibility testing and (pre-)calculation processes, including the need for higher accuracy, improved stability, ease, and speed. They also experienced issues with reliance on fragile Excel sheets, which hindered their ability to provide timely and reliable offers.

Implementation:

Output

Achieved an accuracy
of +-5%

Case study 3

Procurement

Customer- Alstom
