AM软件提供商实现刚刚推出了新的3D打印咨询服务 -思维软件. The premium service is designed to offer businesses tailored, technology-neutral advice and insight regarding the implementation of 3D printing. By addressing the many business challenges associated with this, clients will be able to more intelligently formulate a manufacturing strategy and move forward with AM as the latest addition to their toolkit. Mindware was introduced on the 20th of May in a live webinar by Bart Van der Schueren, CTO at Materialise.
The benefits of 3D printing
The implementation of additive manufacturing offers organizations a more sustainable route to production, reducing some of the costs that may arise from operational inefficiencies. Manufacturing can be carried out on-demand, and numerous iterations of a product can be made by giving an engineer access to some basic CAD software. AM is also known to bring innovative products to market in a short space of time, allowing bespoke parts to be fabricated without the need for a whole production line.
去年实体化进行的一项调查揭示了一个有趣的数字。经过调查的制造商中，有将近50％的人期望在未来五年内使用工业AM的两倍，但比41％的人认为缺乏技术专长是主要障碍。因此，普遍认为，对可靠的“知识”来源的需求是抑制AM广泛采用的主要因素之一。
Van der Schueren指出：“ 3D打印为希望获得或保持竞争优势的企业提供独特的机会，同时保持投资风险较低。然而，至关重要的是，挖掘既有知识又公正的来源。3D打印涵盖了一系列技术，这些技术非常适合各种应用，中立性是确保在每种情况下选择正确的技术的关键。”
Passing on expertise
As a long time provider of services and software related to 3D printing, Materialise houses a great number of experienced AM experts among its 2000 employees. Clients will have access to the insights of specialists in a range of departments including R&D, design & engineering, and process engineering. On top of this, specialists from dedicated verticals such as aerospace and medical will be available for consultation.
范德·舒伦（Van der Schueren）得出结论：“在过去的三十年中，我们已经花了三十年的时间来阐明如何使3D打印有效，可靠，有意义且可扩展。现在，我们正在分享我们的专业知识和能力来协助企业。硬件和软件是关键的成分，但没有什么可以代替正确的专业知识。无偏见的咨询是在物质的DNA中，我相信我们真的可以为客户带来意义。”
There are a great number of educational and advisory resources available for those that would like to了解3D打印and as Materialise is demonstrating, this does not need to be limited to a formal university lecture. In the Netherlands, 3D printing e-learning companyAddmio启动了其首个教育课程- 企业家的3D打印。该课程完全基于网络，旨在将五年的工业经验浓缩到三天。别处，这国家职业安全与健康研究所has published a series ofposters regarding 3D printing material safetyfor the workplace and at home. The posters cover metal powder handling and safe FDM operation in enclosed spaces.
