Authentise continues to be busy expanding their growing ecosystem.
The company produces comprehensive workflow systems for additive manufacturing that simplifies the complex interplay of activities between manufacturers, clients, operators, designers and others involved in the product chain.
Since most operations involved multiple tools and environments, a workflow system would work much better if it integrated with tools already present. Collecting these integrations seems to be the strategy for Authentise.
Only months after announcing a partnership with Autodesk to bundle Fusion and Authentise’s Flows together, and days after joining the UK’s Digitally Enabled Competitive & Sustainable Additive Manufacturing (DECSAM), they announced additional integrations this week.
Specifically, the latest integrations are with Digifabster, Paperless Parts and 3D Spark. What do they do? Digifabster is software for manufacturing that handles CNC, AM and sheet metal processing. Paperless Parts is a sophisticated estimating and quoting software tool. Finally, 3D Spark is AI – driven manufacturing and procurement tool for decision making.
All of these are quite different, but as you can see they could easily be involved in a typically complex manufacturing workflow. By integrating them into the system, Authentise makes it far easier for companies using them to take advantage of Authentise’s services.
Authentise explains:
“By embedding these insights directly into Authentise’s secure, searchable design library, users can accelerate make-or-buy decisions, reduce production costs, and explore new additive manufacturing opportunities.”
How exactly would this benefit a user of the service? It’s essentially moving data from one tool to another, automatically and without error. Quotes become machine operational orders, for example. Even better, because there are no manual steps involved, the data is certain to be accurate — and timely.
I have a suspicion that these will not be the last integrations we will see from Authentise.
