SolidWorks Make于SolidWorks World释放本周在达拉斯举行，让消费者个性化他们的在线产品，并将这些产品交付给他们的门，SolidWorks产品管理副总裁Igal Kaptsan表示。
The Make technology bridges the gap between 3D printers and other manufacturing processes and consumer demand, Kaptsan said.
“The 3D printers can create something unique, but need to be fed with 3D data,” Kaptsan said, and Make allows this for retailers with an online store.
基本上，制造商团队与SolidWorks团队确定他们在电子商务网站上列出的产品组件和变体。Kaptsan说，SolidWorks可以通过3D打印机或通过另一个进程来生产的变化或通过另一个过程来计算零售商网站的其他过程。
零售商首席执行官David Friedfeld表示，眼镜制造商ClearVision光学一直使用SolidWorks制作工具，以便客户允许客户个性化他们的眼镜。
SolidWorks Make is being introduced mainly to the online jewelry, accessory, eyewear, and toy markets because these retailers sell products that can be easily produced of customized components, Kaptsan said. Customers browse selection online, choose products made from parts and assemblies they have compiled—and thus personalized—and order their final version. Prices depend on components chosen, he added.
SolidWorks Make powers the feature that allows customers to choose and combine pieces to create a final product. This feature operates much like a CAD system.
Kaptsan表示，该工具可以免费到零售商，尽管SolidWorks在使用该工具时接收每个销售的百分比。
“We want our retail customers to be successful,” he added. “If they’re not successful, we receive nothing.”
消费者通过邮件收到最终产品。Kaptsan说，产品并不总是3D印刷。例如，眼镜制造商通常使用计算机辅助制造过程来创造独特的设计。
Bespoke eyeglasses are often expensive and built by hand, requiring up to 40 hours of work by a skilled person. SolidWorks Make cuts time and cost, Friedfeld said. Also, eyeglasses personalization, such as decoration and text can be added making glasses even more personal.
Eyewear maker ClearVision Optical uses SolidWorks Make, which allows customers to design personal eyewear online.
By allowing customers to become part of the design process, retailers can provide both memorable and personalized experiences, he added.
由于客户可以将所选的设计上传到Facebook以获得有关他们选择的朋友的反馈，因此该工具可以帮助增加销售额，Friedfeld添加。当然，这是假设朋友的像这样的设计，他们肯定的是，因为朋友创造了它。
