MCADCafe Industry Predictions for 2022 – Oqton

As users adopt additive manufacturing and are continuously engaging with serial production of parts, we are seeing increased demand and need for autonomous manufacturing solutions – or what we refer to as a Manufacturing Operating System (MOS). A MOS allows users to define the required workflow, and trace it for repeatability, quality assurance, and required certification purposes. Additionally, the technology helps provide accurate estimation for optimizing their task scheduling, monitoring their fleet and material usage, and to prepare their parts smartly to fit the entire expected manufacturing process.

Across our markets, we are seeing artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) playing a larger role – and we believe it is essential that this leading technology powers the MOS. I expect the need for a professional build preparation solution across the different 3D printing technologies will continue to guide users in their solution choice, and management solutions that can seamlessly integrate with such capabilities will likely have a big advantage. I anticipate users will not only want such a solution, but they will want the solution to be customized for their unique application and business needs.
