Smart MFG 2

Participating in Manufacturing Day on Oct 2? Use the Smart MFG 2 app at the virtual event. See https://www.ptc.com/en/solutions/digital-manufacturing/smart-mfg-app.

The Smart MFG 2 app gives everyone the chance to be a creator with augmented reality. Design and manufacture a drone. Begin by placing the drone in your current location—then move and tilt your device to see AR capabilities in action.

Getting started is easy:
1. Open the Smart MFG 2 app
2. Find a wide open, flat surface to place your drone. The ground or a large table are great choices. If you don’t see the drone appear, step back to get a wider view of your space.
3. After the drone lands, answer the call from Drone Industries to begin the experience.
4. See how the team works to redesign and manufacture a better drone blade.
5. After the fix kit is manufactured, repair the broken blade with AR.
