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.
