Smart MFG 2 vs WaterWays AR

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. Want to learn more about manufacturing industry and manufacturing careers? Visit creatorswanted.org/youth (launching October 2020).
