Part Configuration with updated AM Databases

Following our vision to support our users in managing their part qualification process within 3YOURMIND, we are bringing new Part Configuration functionality to the part detail page.

Open

AM Part configuration in the new Production tab

In a dedicated Production tab only accessible by Expert Users we are offering a new part configuration form, to create and store the AM part configuration resulting from assessment and prototyping.

For further information on using the functionality see https://3yourmind.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/1905819663

Open

Create your new AM part configuration during Part Qualification

The Production tab on part detail is tied to the status type ‘Qualification’. This requires Users to assign the type Qualification to some status. Updating any part to a status of type Qualification results in the Production tab becoming accessible for Expert Users, see further details about configuring statuses and workflows here https://3yourmind.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/1823440969.

Updated AM Database

With this version we are releasing our reworked, extended and standardized AM Databases. We updated our default database offerings and standardized the relations. With the update to our database we introduced:

• 450 new Material categories following the famous material categorization system of Michael F. Ashby

• 6 standardized AM Technologies

  • including links between Technologies and the Material Categories they can process

• A clean, unified list of 1200 AM Materials

  • including Manufacturer information

• 32 default and un-editable Post Processing types

  • including links between Post Processings and the Material Categories they can process

  • categorization of Post Processings into 4 groups

For further information on the structure and relation of the different database tables and how to add custom database entries can be found here: https://3yourmind.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/1905852417.

Enhanced IP protection: Restriction on 3D file downloads from Catalog parts

In our ongoing commitment to protect intellectual property and align with security best practices, we are enhancing the management of 3D file downloads from Catalog parts for User Panel users. With this release:

• Downloads of 3D files from Catalog parts are restricted by default.

• 3D file access remains available for Service users for convenient order processing.

This enhancement is especially tailored for organizations looking for a more controlled internal environment, offering them an added layer of IP protection.

Deleting User Groups in the Organization Panel

User Groups can now be deleted by Organisation admins directly in the Org Panel. Before, this functionality was only available in the Admin panel.

Other Improvements

Updated Styling for Enhanced 3D Viewer Clarity

We've enhanced the 3D viewer with a neutral grey background for improved visibility, standardizing this across all platforms and removing color customization options in the admin panel to avoid interference with strongly accentuated custom themes.
