Originally uploaded October 29th, re-edited Nov. 26th. Chris Holman welcomes Tom Kelly, President & CEO, Automation Alley, Troy, MI. Chris had several things he wanted to catch up on with Tom: Q. Before we get started, can you remind our listeners what Project DIAMOnD is? Project DIAMOnD –which stands for distributed, independent, agile manufacturing on demand – is an initiative powered by Automation Alley and funded by Oakland County, Michigan. Project DIAMOnD was developed in October 2020 to accelerate digital transformation among Michigan manufacturers. In Phase I of the program, which was funded by $10 million from Oakland County and $2 million from Macomb County, Automation Alley distributed 300 3D printers to small- and mid-size manufacturers at no cost, provided workforce training, and networked the printers to be used to fulfill emergency orders at scale. In 2021, the network concept was validated, as it printed and shipped 8,000 tourniquet parts to fulfill a request from the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. The parts allowed for the assembling of more than 2,600 tourniquets to help those in need of medical assistance during the Russian assault on Ukraine. Q: Project DIAMOnD recently opened a Digital Transformation Center in Auburn Hills. Can you tell us more about this? Of course! It provides companies access to industrial 3D printing equipment, training and support. The new Digital Transformation Center (DTC) is supported by Geofabrica, an Auburn Hills, Michigan business that specializes in the development of custom 3D printing systems and processes for industrial applications. Through the DTC, Project DIAMOnD companies will have access to additive manufacturing courses, a team of experts, and access to additional 3D printers to test and make products. Q: Wow, so this center is really helping to transform the region and state into a magnet for advanced manufacturing and training. What can companies learn at this center? At the Digital Transformation Center, Project DIAMOnD participants will learn how to transform their businesses from a capital and process-based mindset to a design and intellectual property mindset facilitated by 3D printing. This encompasses having an opportunity to launch and validate products before investing in industrial additive manufacturing equipment. They will also retain access to 3D print and post-process products, without the burden of owning and operating complex equipment. Q: What else does the DTC provide? Beyond 3D printing equipment, the DTC will provide access to industrial 3D scanners and advanced modeling and measurement software. Companies will also be able to upload and order parts through the DTC. Q: What companies are eligible to use the center? How can companies get involved in Project DIAMOnD? At this time, Project DIAMOnD is open exclusively to small- and medium-sized companies located in Oakland County. However, if you're outside Oakland County, don't hesitate to apply! We're keen to gauge interest and may expand the program to your area in the future. Don't Miss Out on the Future of Manufacturing!

Summary of Brenda’s January 15, 2021, channeled Creation Energies show at BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman: Many, if not all of you, are returning to unpleasant 3D memories to prove to yourself that you’re an observer instead of a participant. Before you cleared those pieces, you hid them deep within you – expanding your fears with each 3D life without knowing why. As you time travel through those memories, you’ll discover they’re no longer hidden in your secret fear places. Hello, Rose-colored Glasses! is the title of last week’s Brenda’s Blog – her weekly channeled blog for LifeTapestry Creations.com. The overview of Brenda's January 22, 2021, Creation Energies channel: You're a unique individual on a unique path. Some of you are concerned that you're not progressing as you think you should or as are others. In puberty, you progressed in your own time, knowing you would eventually become an adult. So it is now. The difference is there's no need to place yourself in boxes of rightness as you did in 3D. And there's definitely no need to punish yourself if you're progressing differently than others. Chill. Flow. Be.

Summary of Brenda’s January 1, 2021, channeled Creation Energies show at BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman: In 2021, you and others will begin heart motivated outer-actions as you shift from the intellect to the heart. Those pieces that were thought to be feminine actions are coming to the forefront. And mind-related actions secondary. When Your Heart Says, "Yes" and Your Inner-Voice Screams, "No" is the title of last week’s Brenda’s Blog – her weekly channeled blog for LifeTapestry Creations.com. The overview of Brenda's January 8, 2021, Creation Energies channel: You no longer are of 3D. Yet, because of the actions of those of 3D, you might be finding yourself returning to 3D thoughts and actions. If such is so, go within until you feel strong enough to know you're a new being in a new world. Brenda’s Creation Energies show and Brenda’s Blog contain different channeled information.
In this 3D Paradigm much is coming to the surface to be healed. One aspect is the various schisms and divides that have been created across the globe. One of the most insidious is racism and all its associated prejudices, judgements and toxic conversations and projections. Recent orchestrated events in the US have brought this issue to the surface to be witnessed and healed. This meditation is designed to create a healing wave for the USA and then the planet. The soul has no race, the soul has incarnated in many races and in bodies that we would not readily recognise. As we move through the ascension process many are recognising that they have lived many lifetimes and have experienced life through different eyes and mindsets. When we recognise our multidimensional nature, it becomes impossible to hold ‘negative’ judgements about other and difference.

This episode of Beyond 3D talks about an industry we’ve never touched on before – the retail space, and the kind of technology being used to drive everything from the construction of a space, the layout of products, which products are sold in the store and where they are placed, to the supply chain. We talk with Guy Moates, a Director with C A Design Services from the UK. Did you know that the retail industry has historically been very early adopters of new technology and the use of big data? What can other industries learn from retail? And after listening to this podcast, you will never enter a store with the same mindset again.

In this episode of Beyond 3D we talk about the misconceptions of BIM and how that has hindered adoption. Mike Shilton is a qualified landscaper architect and also the Product Director at Keysoft Solutions. We have a frank discussion about how we should think and talk about implementing 3D modeling, digital construction and all the different aspects of BIM to make it less intimidating. “We tend to talk more about digital construction now, as the term and exchanging data between different parties requires you to do that through standard protocols exchange points. Those are the bits that are BIM. Those are the bits that define how we transfer the data, we communicate with each other.” For more information about Tech Soft 3D visit www.techsoft3d.com For more information about Keysoft Solutions visit www.keysoftsolutions.com

Simulation is something that anyone in manufacturing is familiar with, and in this episode of Beyond 3D we talk with David Heiny, co-founder and CEO of SimScale. David talks about how simulation in the cloud has evolved, how the cloud has enabled more powerful and rapid simulation, and also where simulation is headed – that it is much more than just the power of the cloud, but how real-time collaboration simulation is now possible, even more accessible and that’s enabling more small and mid-size companies to take advantage of simulation early on in the design process. Listen in and give us your perspective. Are you doing simulation? Or have you wanted to but never had the resources?

In this episode of Beyond 3D, Jennifer Herron, CEO of Action Engineering, goes deep into what MBD (model-based definition) really means, and the steps a company can and should take if they want to get started implementing MBD. Jennifer highlights some real scenarios to illustrate cost, timeline and the process that a company can and should follow when looking to implement an MBD strategy. “I think a best-in-class organization, whether you're a software developer or you're producing products, always is continuously improving, and I would suggest that everybody look at model-based definition as a continuous improvement program over what they have in place today, so that they can bang out some efficiencies in their processes and recover some costs.” For more information about Action Engineering, visit https://www.action-engineering.com/
In this episode of Beyond 3D we talk to one of the pioneers of 3D CAD, Jon Stevenson, who helped turn GrabCAD into the largest online collaboration community in the 3D CAD world, and is now VP of Global Software at Stratasys. We talk about how file sharing has evolved, the new challenges that pop up as technologies get more advanced, and how hardware is cool again! And if you’re a company that has always done software, how do you manage getting into the hardware game quickly and successfully? Traditional manufacturers aren’t the only ones facing new challenges navigating trends such as IoT, 3D printing, AR, VR, etc. Snapchat is making video streaming glasses! What?!?! It’s a whole new world and it’s anyone’s game. And the pressure to iterate faster, reduce cycle times will only continue to increase – to the point where we are creating as we are producing, almost simultaneously. Insane? Maybe. But that’s where we’re headed. Listen to our latest edition of Beyond 3D and let us know what you think!

In this episode of Beyond 3D we talk about services for the first time. And who better to talk about services for the engineering world other than AMC Bridge, one of the largest engineering service providers in the world. As technology has changed so dramatically over the past 15 years, even just the past 5 years, even companies who have internal services departments are struggling to keep up with all the different tech developments – from mobile, cloud, AR, VR, the Internet of Things, etc. Therefore, companies of all sizes are turning to service providers to help them stay current with their applications, and ultimately stay competitive. One great example is one of the fastest growing PLM companies, ARIS. Their expertise is in PLM, but to help their customers address some of these other technological challenges takes time, discipline and requires modern cooperation tools and modern visualization tools, and they don't have any experience with this. In addition, companies avoid adopting new technologies for one of three reasons: 1) they are afraid to try something new, 2) the misconception that new technology is difficult to use, and 3) that it takes too long to implement new technology. This may have been true in the past, but with component technologies and service providers like AMC Bridge, any company of any size can innovate and stay competitive. Have a listen and let us know what you think. For more information on Tech Soft 3D, visit www.techsoft3d.com For more information on AMC Bridge, visit www.amcbridge.com
In our third episode of Beyond 3D, we talk with Chris Jones, CEO of Actify, about why it is critical for manufacturers of all sizes to have a digital strategy to consume, visualize and act on the quintillions of bytes being generated every day. It’s not a question of “should I do this” but rather “when and how will I do this?” Relational databases just don’t cut it anymore – the massive amounts of data being generated need to be able to be mined for specific things, visualized and acted upon quickly and easily. The technology is getting there, and is more accessible to manufacturers of all sizes – yes, even the small guys. “Overall the stats and the estimates are the only 10% of all this data that we're collecting is being a) collected and then b) collated. In the manufacturing industry we're down 1 or 2%. I think there's opportunities in all industries but particularly in manufacturing companies because they're also producing a lot more data from their products on how it's used and so on and so forth, warranty issues and wear and tear et cetera. They've got all this information but I just don't think it's being used. Couple to that what's also happened is that I think engineering as a profession has certainly not been the favorite occupation for the brightest and smartest coming out of universities. There's a huge shortage of engineers world wide and particularly in the U.S. The challenge going forward I think is this ... You've got these two opposing forces that need to be solved. You've got this wealth of information that is being produced and then how best to use it with far fewer people. I think going forward this is going to be a real challenge for the industry in general. As I said before, it's not just big sophisticated products and consequently not just big organizations, it's also small to medium companies as well that face this challenge of how best to use this information because if they don't somebody will and somebody will gain a competitive advantage from it I'm sure.” Chris Jones’ challenge to our listeners: “I think if you're a company that doesn't have a digital strategy on how best to use the information that's been produced now that you have within your organization, the historical information and the information that is almost certainly going to be flowing into your organization over the next couple of years, you seriously need to sit down and think about it. This is a big strategic initiative and it needs executive input I think on how best to move forward to make use of data going forward. It's going to be a competitive advantage for sure.” Learn more about Actify: www.actify.com To read the full podcast transcript, visit www.techsoft3d.com/blog
Beyond 3D Podcast with David Ewing of Aras Corp – 3D PDF is a Home Run, and Any Company of Any Size Can Afford to Implement It In this episode of the Beyond 3D podcast, David Ewing from the Aras Corporation talks about how he and his team implemented a 3D PDF strategy for a project while he was at B/E Aerospace that ended up saving hundreds of hours, and hundreds of thousands of dollars. And it was so simple and effective, that using 3D PDF has now become the standard on nearly every project. "Yeah, this had a very big customer in Boeing, but the spend was very, very low. We also started with a relativity complex problem. This is something really, in my opinion, it's a home run project. You're a small company, you make widgets that you supply to some other company, this is a great opportunity to streamline your engineering process. You can actually remove some of the drafting steps and go to a 3D PDF. You're getting extremely accurate data in there, machinable, in fact, that's surfacing that are extremely accurate. Now that ... as the consumer of that drawing, whatever customer that you supply to, they don't need to have views that you would typically fret over in making a drawing. They can rotate the model and create as many views as they want. It's an infinite type thing. Think of the component modeling and drafting, this is a perfect fit. It's a home run, and it's really a straight forward project. I don't like to use words easy and impossible, the absolutes, it's just work.” Dave Ewing’s challenge to our listeners: “I've always thought that if you put a smart team together, they'll come up with some great ideas, that they can take a look at what you do. My challenge would be pick a couple folks in your organization to take a look at where some opportunities might be. Go adopt something and drop some money on it. It takes a little bit of investment to make this happen, whether it be starting with a simple drawing, or some type of documentation, and the biggest bang is really getting that 3D in there. I would say your simple piece part drawings. Go do it. This is not hard. It's not necessarily easy. You just got to work through it. This fits right into any PLM system. Granted, Aras has it built right in. Day one, we bet on it. This is the right way to go, but hey look, our brother in the PLM industry, they supported also. You don't have to be on Aras. Siemens supports it. Go off and do it. Pick a project, go do it. I would highly suggest an agile methodology so that you can start small, get some quick wins, and iterate on it, and keep refining it until you get to something and say, "Hey, we're done." Then you generated this win and energy and a better business process. That energy, now you can run with that. You've got a whole bunch of people saying, "Now they're pulling on the rope. Hey, I've seen this work. Now can we do X, Y, and Z?" That's powerful because now you've got people all bought in across the organization and that's huge. Go do it.” Free Trial of Tetra4D Enrich: http://www.tetra4d.com/ Learn more about Aras Corporation: http://www.aras.com/ To read the full podcast transcript, visit http://blog.techsoft3d.com/blog
In this first pilot episode of the Beyond 3D podcast, we talk about the most common topics and challenges that come up in conversations with customers, partners and industry influencers – everything from complexity and process challenges, to how to deal with tech trends such as cloud and mobile. "The further you get away from an engineering department, the more companies struggle with getting 3D data into people's hands, and I think that's the big challenge is, 3D is absolutely- there's so much information included in 3D data, and there are people that are outside of engineering; procurement, suppliers, there's all of these people in the chain that really could benefit from access to the data, and that's the challenge is, how do you get that 3D data into people's hands so they can make good decisions based on what's happening in engineering?” Our guest is TJ McCue, writer for Forbes and many other publications, and famous for his 3DRV cross-country adventure. http://www.forbes.com/sites/tjmccue/ https://hbr.org/2015/07/3d-printing-is-changing-the-way-we-think https://www.linkedin.com/in/tjmccue http://www.goexplore3d.com/
