Defense

Defense

Sensitive sustainment environments require traceability, controlled intake, defined approvals, and clear documentation before a manufacturing route is considered. D2M helps teams review application opportunities, define secure workflows, map inspection requirements, and plan operator handover for controlled sustainment contexts.

Aerospace

Aerospace

Aerospace teams work under strict traceability, material justification, and approval constraints before any manufacturing route can move beyond review. D2M supports application assessment, technology route selection, workflow design, documentation planning, and training for aerospace manufacturing and maintenance contexts.

Medical – Anatomical / Surgical Models

Medical – Anatomical / Surgical Models

Anatomical and surgical model workflows require careful data handling, design review, material selection, documentation, and governance before use. D2M supports model workflow planning, technology selection, documentation, and training for healthcare teams developing anatomical and procedure-planning aids.

Industrial Manufacturing

Industrial Manufacturing

Industrial manufacturing teams need a disciplined way to review spares, tooling, fixtures, and production aids before moving them into controlled workflows. D2M supports part selection, workflow design, technology route selection, documentation, operator training, and staged implementation planning.

Oil & Gas

Oil & Gas

Oil and gas operations require disciplined review of asset criticality, material exposure, inspection requirements, and documentation before local manufacturing routes are considered. D2M supports candidate part assessment, workflow design, technology selection, inspection planning, documentation, and handover for oil and gas support contexts.

Jigs & Fixtures

Jigs guide a tool; fixtures locate and hold a workpiece. D2M helps teams assess printed tooling for repeatable assembly, positioning and inspection, with material and design choices matched to the loads, contact surfaces and operating environment.

Review Application

Manufacturing Aids

Manufacturing aids support the work around a production part: handling, assembly, positioning, protection and checking. D2M helps teams assess custom printed tools against the operator task, workpiece interfaces and shop-floor conditions.

Review Application

Quality & Inspection

Quality and inspection workflows turn dimensional measurements into evidence for a part decision. D2M helps teams assess 3D scanning and measurement routes around feature access, tolerance, datum alignment and the report the inspection must produce.

Review Application

Short-Run Production & On-Demand Manufacturing

Short-run production makes a defined batch of usable parts; on-demand manufacturing replenishes parts against a requirement. D2M helps teams compare additive routes using part geometry, material performance, quantity, finishing and inspection needs.

Review Application

Reverse Engineering

Teams searching for reverse support are usually dealing with worn, obsolete, undocumented, or unavailable parts. D2M helps GCC operators turn scan data into controlled CAD, inspection records, and realistic production options.

Review Application

Tooling & Molds

Tooling and molds require a route that fits geometry, surface finish, temperature, pressure, release method, and production quantity. D2M helps teams review additive manufacturing, scanning, and inspection options for tooling work before committing to a build route.

3D-Printed Threads or Metal Inserts? Designing Parts for Repeated Assembly

Printed threads, tapped holes, thread-forming screws and metal inserts can all work in production parts. The right choice depends on load, material, process and how often the joint will be opened.

Using 3D-Printed Parts Around Sensitive Electronics: ESD Is More Than a Material Choice

An ESD-capable material does not define the finished printed part. Electrical requirements, manufacturing route, interfaces and verification still need to be considered for components used around sensitive electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Key questions about D2M's assessment, implementation, and support model.

What does D2M do?
D2M helps organizations assess, design, and implement digital manufacturing capability around additive manufacturing, 3D scanning, software workflows, documentation, training, and handover.
Where does a project usually start?
The first step is a suitability assessment. D2M reviews the candidate application, material requirement, operating environment, inspection route, and commercial logic before recommending a technology path.
Does D2M start with a machine recommendation?
No. The technology route is selected after the application, workflow, documentation needs, and operating constraints are understood.
Can D2M support regulated or sensitive sectors?
D2M supports the assessment, workflow design, documentation, qualification planning, and training work required for controlled manufacturing contexts. Any regulated claim depends on the applicable standard, evidence, and approval route.
How are claims and business cases reviewed?
D2M frames claims around evidence. The business case depends on application demand, material route, qualification effort, operator capacity, and current supply constraints.
What is the best next step?
Start with a focused review of candidate applications, workflow requirements, and implementation constraints so the scope can be defined before investment decisions are made.
