Manufacturing Capabilities Added to App Store
October 1, 2016
CloudDDM, LLC has developed a free online application called PrintNow, which enables Onshape users to quote and order finished 3-D printed parts directly from their Onshape dashboards. The first app in the new Onshape App Store that directly facilitates part production, PrintNow introduces manufacturing capabilities into the Onshape platform.
Once installed in a user's Onshape account, the app adds a "PrintNow" tab to any part detail screen. When placing their first order, a user will be prompted to create a free account with CloudDDM - a process that requires just an email address and password. Manufacturing quotes are then delivered in real time and parts can be ordered by clicking the "Checkout" button after reviewing part details. All billing is handled through a users Onshape account, making the PrintNow ordering process an integrated experience.
"Our goal at CloudDDM is to help engineers expedite the prototyping process," said Mitch Free, Co-Founder and CEO of CloudDDM. "Often, part production is one of the most time-consuming parts of the process. By providing overnight additive manufacturing (AM) and delivery through our direct digital manufacturing service, we can shave weeks off an iterative prototyping schedule. This emphasis on supporting engineers seemed to align directly with Onshape's mission, making this app a no-brainer."
CloudDDM can deliver parts in as quickly as one day. Parts are produced in high definition on commercial AM systems to help ensure dimensional accuracy and structural integrity. Material options include real engineering thermoplastics and metals such as ABS, polycarbonate, ULTEM, nylon, stainless steel and titanium.
