Embodiment Construction

[0020] In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, one of ordinary skill in the art would understand that the embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components and circuits have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the embodiments.

[0021] One or more specific embodiments of the invention are described below. In an effort to provide a concise description of these embodiments, not all features of an actual implementation may be described in the specification. It should be understood that in the development of any such actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, many implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developer's specific goals, such as adherence to system-related and business-related constraints , these constraints may vary from one imp...

Abstract

According to some embodiments, a system may include an additive manufacturing platform that provides additive manufacturing capability data (e.g., a printer model number, a printer resolution, etc.) to a model customization platform. The model customization platform may receive the additive manufacturing printer capability data and retrieve, from an additive manufacturing model data database, a primary engineering model associated with an industrial asset item. The model customization platform may then create a customized version of the primary engineering model in accordance with the additivemanufacturing printer capability data and the primary engineering model. The customized engineering model can then be transmitted to the additive manufacturing platform (e.g., to be printed to createthe industrial asset item).

Description

technical field [0001] Some embodiments disclosed herein relate to industrial assets, and more particularly, to distribution of customized engineering models to facilitate additive manufacturing of industrial asset items. Background technique [0002] An entity may want to acquire a three-dimensional industrial asset item, such as a nozzle for a jet engine, a replacement part for a wind turbine, or another three-dimensional industrial asset item. In some cases, entities may have parts created by one of many different additive manufacturing platforms. For example, an additive manufacturing platform may receive an item definition file (associated with an engineering model) that may be used to print a three-dimensional item. Note that different AM platforms may have different item creation capabilities. For example, different platforms may utilize different 3D printers with different print resolutions, different powders, etc. Additionally, different item creation capabilitie...
