July 2021

A bit late this week because I took a vacation. No, really – first time in 10 years without internet for more than a couple hours. Out in the sticks, away from it all:

Obviously, hiking through the Rwenzori mountain range (the source of the Nile) and seeing Gorillas 🦍 was special itself. But even more amazing was how the team just continued pushing forward. They don’t really need me anymore!

While I was gone they delivered on multiple fronts, all while managing deadlines for several large projects:

1) More machines connectedWe’ve been steadily broadening the range of machines that we can get data from in response both to demand and to movement in the industry. Over the past few years the large OEMs have been finally waking up and proving official APIs, making our job easier. We took advantage of that and are among the first to support both Formlabs Form 2 and 3 as well as most remaining Stratasys machines we didn’t already. From what it sounds like we’re among the first (if not the first) to support the J750 for example.

2) Permissions extendedGroup qualifications have been extended to more resources so that you can now manage who is allowed to do what action across the entire process. This includes making sure that only those with the right training are operating your M400’s, for example. You’ll also be able to make sure that only those people with the right permissions can edit critical resources like your workflows.

All this is in addition to smaller tickets that always happen in reaction to ideas by customers. For example: you can now rename line items with your own serial numbers.

Now that I’m well rested I’m keen to push on again. That means talking to you, too. Please give me a call or schedule a time to talk at any point. I’d love to hear from you.

Speak soon
