Press Release
Newport Beach California 22/8-2023
In a major move solidifying its commitment to the future of digital manufacturing, whatt.io INC, a renowned transatlantic corporation originating from Lostboyslab, today proclaimed its induction into the 3MF Consortium as an associate member. With a long-standing background in advanced additive manufacturing and micro-factory operations, whatt.io aims to push the boundaries of digital production.
Understanding the Significance of 3MF
The 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) is an open-source file format specifically designed to support the future of manufacturing. Its design ensures seamless and comprehensive descriptions of 3D models, paving the way for complete and consistent production specifications. This is a leap beyond the traditional file formats that often fall short in accuracy and compatibility.
The 3MF Consortium is an influential alliance of companies working together to develop, promote, and adopt the 3MF standard. Their primary goal is to address the shortcomings of current file formats and ensure that the industry benefits from a full-fidelity, universally accepted format for 3D printing and digital manufacturing.
Future Vision for whatt.io INC
whatt.io's primary drive in joining the consortium is to augment and empower its digital product passport solutions, especially concerning spare parts. "With 3MF, we are presented with more expansive opportunities to protect the intellectual property and copyrights of digital production files. This stands as one of the most formidable challenges in the path of digital manufacturing's evolution," says founder and CEO, Stefan Larsson for whatt.io.
Further solidifying their pledge, the company revealed upcoming advancements in their offerings. Their innovative '3MF Vault' solution is soon transitioning from a Proof of Concept stage to a full-fledged SaaS solution, seamlessly integrated within the whatt.io back office framework. 3MF Vault extends the capabilities of the 3MF format, an advanced 3D file format that is specifically developed for communicating additive manufacturing data. Unlike STL files, the 3MF format allows for the incorporation of metadata, including copyright and ownership details.
Industry Endorsement
Adding weight to this development, Duann Scott, head of the 3MF Consortium, remarked, "We are thrilled to welcome whatt.io INC into our fold. Collaborating with them promises to be mutually beneficial, and we eagerly look forward to the strides we'll make together in the realm of digital manufacturing."
