If 3D Data is So Valuable, Why Isn't Everyone Using It?

In this first pilot episode of the Beyond 3D podcast, we talk about the most common topics and challenges that come up in conversations with customers, partners and industry influencers – everything from complexity and process challenges, to how to deal with tech trends such as cloud and mobile. "The further you get away from an engineering department, the more companies struggle with getting 3D data into people's hands, and I think that's the big challenge is, 3D is absolutely- there's so much information included in 3D data, and there are people that are outside of engineering; procurement, suppliers, there's all of these people in the chain that really could benefit from access to the data, and that's the challenge is, how do you get that 3D data into people's hands so they can make good decisions based on what's happening in engineering?” Our guest is TJ McCue, writer for Forbes and many other publications, and famous for his 3DRV cross-country adventure. http://www.forbes.com/sites/tjmccue/ https://hbr.org/2015/07/3d-printing-is-changing-the-way-we-think https://www.linkedin.com/in/tjmccue http://www.goexplore3d.com/
