Software for Manufacturing
White Paper Offers Steps to Successful Enterprise-Resource-Planning Implementation
Implementing an enterprise-resource-planning (ERP) system is a major undertaking no matter the size of your manufacturing operation. Fully implemented, the solution will make a permanent and significant impact on every business function, its employees, business operations and growth.
With that in mind, OmegaCube Technologies has published a whitepaper, An ERP Solution Provider's Guide for Manufacturers From ERP Selection until Post Implementation, at www.metalformingmagazine.com (click on the Multimedia tab). The paper helps manufacturers understand what is involved in an implementation and how best to navigate the process. To-dos include ensuring buy-in from various organization stakeholders, evaluating the best solution, planning the entire transformation, measuring success, and, all the while, ensuring business continuity.

New Version of Instant Quoting for On-Demand Manufacturing
On-demand-manufacturing platform Xometry has released a new version of its Xometry Instant Quoting Engine, which provides instant quotes on sheetmetal fabrication, 3D printing, CNC machining and urethane casting. Key features in the new version include a redesigned summary view to help users quickly review their quotes, a part-
level modification page that captures all changes in real time, and an always- visible 3D viewer with instant design feed- back displayed directly on the model.
The redesigned summary view helps users quickly review the process, material, finish and other manufacturing require- ments for each part in their quotes. If any requirement needs modification, users can use the Modify Part button to make the change. Also, in the part-level modi- fication page, users now can use the right side of the modification screen to specify all part requirements, and can scroll down to see all of their manufacturing options in one place. In addition, instant design feedback enables users to display man- ufacturability feedback instantly and directly on their model. They also can upload drawings to help identify manu- facturing requirements such as threads, tolerances and critical dimensions. Xometry: www.xometry.com
