Summary
German startup 3YOURMIND, which provides industrial 3D printing software solutions, has been busy over the last year since it won the formnext 2016 Start-up Challenge and expanded its services in the US by making its San Francisco office permanent. The company has worked with EOS, whose founder became its main investor in 2015, on the AM Part Identifier (AMPI) system, and introduced the InstAMetal platform with GKN Sinter Metals this spring. The company has worked hard to develop intelligent, industrial 3D printing software solutions that offer innovative capabilities, such as automatic optimization of 3D models and real-time printability analysis.
