The applications of 3D have only just begun. Prerequisites include developing a perspective of 3D literacy in order to utilize the data around us to effectively identify and model solution alternatives - and the right tools. "Mechanical engineers are only one fifth as productive as software engineers," says Paul Powers, Founder & CEO of Physna.
