SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADMINISTERING A 3D-PRINTING-BASED MANUFACTURING PROCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027996 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADMINISTERING A 3D-PRINTING-BASED MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and systems for managing a 3D-printing-based manufacturing process, specifically for producing products on demand in response to orders received through an online retail website.

  • The method involves generating a stock identifier to identify a product during and after manufacturing.
  • A plurality of jobs are created to manufacture the product.
  • Each job is assigned a job status associated with the stock identifier.
  • The jobs associated with the stock identifier are assigned to various 3D printers and workers.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • On-demand manufacturing: This technology enables the efficient production of products in response to customer orders, allowing for customization and reducing the need for inventory storage.
  • Online retail: The integration of 3D printing with online retail websites allows for the seamless fulfillment of customer orders, providing a faster and more convenient shopping experience.
  • Customization: The ability to tailor products to individual customer preferences opens up opportunities for personalized and unique offerings.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inventory management: By manufacturing products on demand, the need for large inventory storage is minimized, reducing costs and the risk of overstocking or obsolescence.
  • Streamlined production process: The method optimizes the allocation of jobs to 3D printers and workers, ensuring efficient use of resources and minimizing production time.
  • Customer satisfaction: The ability to produce customized products quickly and accurately enhances customer satisfaction and increases the likelihood of repeat business.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Cost-effective production: On-demand manufacturing reduces the need for upfront investment in inventory, lowering production costs and minimizing waste.
  • Flexibility and scalability: The system can easily adapt to changing customer demands and scale production based on order volume.
  • Improved customer experience: The ability to offer customized products and fulfill orders quickly enhances the overall shopping experience, leading to increased customer loyalty.


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed are methods and systems for administering or managing a 3d-printing-based manufacturing process. the methods and systems can be tailored or optimized for administering or managing a 3d-printing-based manufacturing process where the products are made on demand for customers in response to orders received via an online retail website. in one embodiment, a method comprises generating a stock identifier used to identify a product during and after manufacturing, creating a plurality of jobs to be undertaken to manufacture the product, assigning a job status to each of the plurality of jobs associated with the stock identifier, and assigning the jobs associated with the stock identifier to various 3d printers and workers.
