Easier Bulk-Analysis of Technical Drawings

We improved the bulk-assessment of multiple drawings by removing the need to create a CSV for importing. Parts can now easily be created and assessed by simply selecting all the drawings to assess. The new bulk-analysis can be triggered from the Home page as well as the part list and works equally for bulk and single file uploads.

Bulk-analysis of multiple technical drawings

Parts will initially be created with the name from the drawing file itself, until the analysis is finished and the part is updated with further data extracted from the drawing.

Automatic report-fetching

We improved our reporting functionality with additional functionality. Reports will now automatically be fetched once all necessary scoring results are available. This eliminates the need to refresh a part detail page to load the reports after part creation.

Further, we implemented a loading animation, informing the user that the reports are not yet finished generating.

Workflow status type mandatory

With this release, the status type on workflow statuses is change to mandatory. Any status, regardless if used in the workflow or not, has to have a type assigned. Automatic migrations were applied with the update in order to not leave any statuses without a type.

To read up on the status types, the required order and their effects, see Defining Statuses and Workflows.

More Flexibility in the CSV Export of Orders, Quotes and Jobs

We have improved the CSV export system within the Service Panel. Users now have the ability to export precisely the data they need from Quotes, Orders, and Jobs pages with enhanced filter integration. This update eliminates the need for separate filtering interfaces by enabling direct export of the currently filtered list displayed in the sales transaction table. The new system retains the full range of columns traditionally exported, ensuring a seamless transition for all users. Additionally, any new filters introduced to the table view will be automatically available for CSV exports, further streamlining the data management process. This enhancement is designed to provide a more efficient, user-friendly experience, allowing for focused analysis and reporting by exporting only the relevant data segments.

Other improvements

Printer Database

With this version we are releasing the first version of our own internal printer database. The newly introduced database features more than 800 printers from leading machine manufacturers covering our core AM technologies. This database will in future releases be used for easier workstation setup in our MES system. Further we intend to improve the technical assessment in our Part Identification with the additional data provided by this database.

Property Updates

We updated our Weight property and introduced [kg] as unit of measurement. The weight property supports three decimals, allowing the part weight to be specified down to a single gram. The Weight property will be stored and visualised in kilograms across the platform.
