  • Publication number: 20140379119
    Abstract: A system for Remote and Automated Manufacture of Products from User Data is designed to allow a user with no knowledge of design, engineering, or manufacturing to create a custom product from data they provide, in the form of tomography data, photographs, voice command, sketches etc. The system provides a user interface, the Front End, where users input data and select what to manufacture. This information is then sent to the Back End, which processes the data, creates a manufacturable 3D model, determines the best production method, and calculates a price and the amount of time required to make and deliver the product. This information is presented to the user, who confirms the proposal or makes changes the selection, materials etc, until they are happy with the result. Once they confirm their order, the system automatically produces the object and it is shipped to the user.
