…all the information they create. When creativity moves to additive manufacturing (AM), data management complexity increases. So when somebody comes along with a better mousetrap (so to speak) for engineering data and 3D printing, we pay attention. Which is why 3YOURMIND Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software for Additive Manufacturing is our Editor’s Pick of the Week. Railroad giant Deutsche Bahn (DB) is paying attention, too. Not only is DB the national railroad of Germany, it is a global provider of rail vehicles and infrastructure maintenance. It has to support 100-year-old steam locomotives still in use, as well the newest high-speed…
