Part Assessment

  • In progress

    • This article describes the standard technical and economical assessment that 3YOURMIND provides. If you are using a custom score or report, some parts of this documentation may not apply.

    Part information completeness

    Part information completeness bar shows the percentage of filled out part properties.

    • Part information completeness bar takes into account economical and technical properties.

    • All properties (required and optional) of the used form are taken into account

     

    When hovering over Show More the user is shown a list of not completed part properties.

    Supported technologies and default outputs

    By default, the provided economical and technical assessment supports a variety of different AM technologies:

    • Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

    • Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

    • Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)

    • Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing(WAAM)

    • Wire Laser Additive Manufacturing (WLAM)

    • Binder Jetting (BJ)

    • Multi-Jet Fusion (MJF)

    • Stereolithography (SLA)

    • CNC machining (CNC)

    Soon to be incorporated:

    • Injection molding for plastic/composite parts

    • Rapid casting for certain metal alloys

    When all the needed data is provided for a part, the following default outputs are generated for each technology:

    Economic

    • Total Cost of Manufacturing

    • Lead Time Savings estimation

    • Total Savings estimation

    All economical outputs can be viewed on a per unit or yearly basis.

    Technical

    • Suitability of technology

    • Failed technology checks

    Manufacturability Assessment

    To assess the different technologies in terms of their suitability to produce this part, multiple aspects of the part are checked against the characteristics and capabilities of each technology.

    The performed checks include:

    • Suitability of the parts material

    • Suitability of the parts overall size

    • Evaluation of support structure

    • Wall thickness

    • Presence of holes and size evaluation

    • Aspect ratio of the part

    • (more details)

    For details on the performed checks and individual boundaries go to /admin/catalogue/technology/ on your platform. Each technology will have these specific checks detailed and the values considered for each one (more details)

    Economical Assessment

    Economical assessment is performed for all technologies passing the technical checks. Unsuitable technologies are filtered out and not shown in the cost and savings breakdown.

    Current economic assessment of parts linked to the manufacturability.

    The Total Cost of Manufacturing table provides detailed information about the composition of the estimated total cost, as it is broken down into Material, Labor and Overhead cost. Further the estimated lead time per technology is provided as raw value in this table as well.

    KPIs at the top of the part detail page summarising relevant part metrics.

    KPI cards are additionally provided and by default highlight the recommended technologies in terms of production value or time, as well as highlighting the current part priority within the platform.
