PEFORMING ROR ANALYSIS FOR 3D PRINTER AND IIOT TECHNOLOGY Background Software used in 3D printer systems manufactured by Spectrum LASER Corp. is currently able to automatically develop hollows, shells, and "tree supports to save development time. Network printing for use on multiple machines and at different locations globally is available. New software, called JIT II, is being beta tested that will allow lloT-type (Industrial Internet of Things) connections between machines at distant locations. When onb oard monitoring sensors detect that a part is about to fail, or it is time to replace one of several high-profile parts, the JIT Il software will automatically queue the part's manufacturing code onto a 3D printer that is detected to be locally idle or ready. The company believes it can design and produce the JIT Il software, the 3D printers, and the accompanying computer equipment necessary to place this technology in a wide variety of harsh environments-chemically toxic to humans,…
