Robots plus data equals better site management What feedback have you gotten so far on LIFTBOT and ONSITE? Have you adjusted the technologies? Kuchukov: Bringing multiple units to the market and selling several units to the same customers helped us to refine our value proposition. We realized it's not enough just to deliver high daily savings; it's also important to create an environment for a high utilization rate. Saving $2,500 per day is just one part of the equation, and…

…The Dyndrite solution serves as a bridge, similar to Adobe PostScript, that streamlines CAD-to-print workflows using a fast, GPU-powered geometry engine. In software demos, the product can create billions of voxels from a CAD file in just seconds, and slice the files just as quickly. “The only way to make that happen is using the GPU,” says Dyndrite CEO Goel. “Existing geometry kernels were not built to handle these complex geometries,” Goel says. “Companies wasted a lot of money just loading files. Some customers we’ve spoken to used to take 60 hours to process a geometry. We help them cut…
