The capabilities of 3D printing give you greater flexibility in creating variants and implementing mass customization. However, there is a bottleneck when designing customer-specific 3D models and variants, since the parts have varying 3D geometries. To accommodate this “design freedom,” it makes sense to explore design automation—for example, using a front-end-enabled configurator that parametrizes and generates the various models in the background.
This way, you can reduce costs not only in customized manufacturing but also in geometry generation. Whether you need variants for internal use or customized customer data, design automation makes sense in every case!
