Smart MFG 2 1.0.2

For those participating in Manufacturing Day on October 2, the Smart MFG 2 app will be available at the virtual event. More information can be found at PTC's website.

The Smart MFG 2 app offers a unique opportunity to engage users through augmented reality, allowing individuals to design and manufacture a drone. Users can initiate the experience by positioning the drone within their environment and utilizing their device’s movement to explore AR features.

To begin, follow these straightforward steps:

1. Launch the Smart MFG 2 app.
2. Select a spacious, flat surface to set the drone down, such as the ground or a large table. If the drone is not visible, stepping back may help capture a broader view.
3. Once the drone is positioned, respond to the call from Drone Industries to start the experience.
4. Observe the process of redesigning and manufacturing an improved drone blade with the team.
5. Upon completing the fix kit, use augmented reality to repair the broken blade.

This innovative experience has been developed by PTC in collaboration with the National Association of Manufacturers and The Manufacturing Institute, a nonprofit organization devoted to workforce development and education. They are dedicated to enhancing modern manufacturing practices and fostering new strategies to cultivate manufacturing talent, particularly through initiatives such as Manufacturing Day. Additional information is available at themanufacturinginstitute.org.

The augmented reality features of this experience are driven by Vuforia, PTC’s premier industrial augmented reality platform. Further details can be accessed at PTC's Vuforia page.
