MxD enables U.S. manufacturers to begin making every part better than the last. It is a goal far too big for any one company to solve on its own. It requires production lines to be embedded with software and sensors, and hooked up to the cloud. Only with this ability to send and receive data can the equipment improve itself and learn from every part produced in real-time. The most lucrative opportunities of the future will involve digitally powered manufacturing. Innovative manufacturers turn to us to forge that future. MxD was formerly known as the Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute (DMDII).
