SelectAM Launches Identify Spring ’25 to Enhance 3D Printing Accessibility Written by: Kalle Lepola – SelectAM SelectAM has introduced the latest version of its software, Identify Spring ’25, aimed at simplifying and expanding access to 3D printing technology. As part of this initiative, the company has made several key tools available for free and integrated artificial intelligence (AI) features to optimize design and production processes. The goal is to encourage broader adoption of 3D printing as a sustainable and efficient manufacturing solution. New Free Tools for Cost Estimation and Redesign The Identify Spring ’25 release includes complimentary access to SelectAM’s Estimate and Redesign tools. These features allow businesses to assess the costs of 3D printing different components, compare materials and machines, and optimize production workflows. The Estimate tool provides cost analysis, including material use and job efficiency, while Redesign assists in modifying designs to improve cost-effectiveness. AI-Driven Leap3D Converts 2D Drawings into 3D Models A significant addition to SelectAM’s platform is Leap3D, an AI-powered tool designed to convert legacy 2D part drawings into preliminary 3D models. This functionality enables manufacturers to evaluate the feasibility of 3D printing parts more quickly, reducing the time required for digital transformation in production. Implications for Supply Chain Efficiency The enhanced accessibility of SelectAM’s software aligns with efforts to integrate 3D printing into global supply chains. The company highlights several potential benefits of increased adoption: Reduced Waste: 3D printing produces less excess material compared to traditional manufacturing methods. Localized Production: Companies can manufacture components closer to their point of use, reducing reliance on long-distance logistics. On-Demand Manufacturing: Businesses can minimize inventory costs by producing parts only when needed. Data-Driven Decision Making: Advanced analytics provided by SelectAM’s tools help manufacturers assess the economic and operational impact of 3D printing. By removing financial barriers and incorporating AI-driven functionalities, SelectAM aims to make 3D printing a viable option for more businesses seeking to streamline production and enhance sustainability. This development is being closely monitored by industry stakeholders as additive manufacturing continues to gain traction in global supply chain strategies.
