Step 2: Advanced Reporting
Each Shop has this reporting ability, making it valuable for reporting on all of your 3D printing activity For instance, a school that uses GrabCAD Shop might organize their shops by courses:
Using this reporting feature, a lab operator would be able to export printing activity by course. This type of insight can help teachers budget properly for materials and printer costs.
Similarly, 3D printing shops might organize their Shop by teams. By using the reporting feature, they can accurately report on:
- Which teams use the PolyJet printers
- How much FDM material to allocate to the Manufacturing team
The possibilities are endless!
