As companies begin to implement new manufacturing tech into their workflows, more cross-applicability becomes necessary. One of the main problems of creating such a homogenous workflow is that of interchangeable language protocols. Since all systems are quite different, researchers at Huddersfield university are developing a universal language for additive manufacturing systems. This new method would allow heterogenous systems to communicate models without hindering productivity. This could also have massive implications for how multiple companies conduct their file sharing.
