What untapped data is your company sitting on, and what could you do if you only had better access to it? If you're at all familiar with Protolabs, you probably know about their online quoting and DFM tools. If you've ordered parts through the company, you may have worked directly with one of their engineers to further tweak a design before sending it for manufacturing. Consider that Protolabs has been doing this work and running these tools for years. The company has seen millions of CAD files in its history—that's a huge repository of data that its systems and engineers have only been able to leverage in a limited way. Until now. I spoke with Protolabs chief technology and AI officer Marc Kermisch about the ways the company is incorporating artificial intelligence to improve quoting, speed development and get parts made fast. As a business with more than 2,000 employees, there are AI deployments happening at many levels and for various purposes. But nearly all make use of existing data that was difficult to find, search, access or use before AI. Artificial intelligence can't effectively fill in what isn't there... but it can make untapped wells of information far more usable.

AI isn’t replacing people. But people using AI are starting to replace the ones who aren’t. We’re moving past the chatbot phase. AI can now open matters, prepare documents, update systems, manage workflows, follow up customers and complete work that once took teams hours. That’s the real shift. The winners won’t be the businesses with the biggest teams. They’ll be the businesses that combine great people with smart automation. So the question isn’t whether AI will change your business. It’s whether you’ll lead that change or spend the next few years trying to catch up. https://lnkd.in/gfDrPbpq #AI #Automation #AgenticAI #FutureOfWork #BusinessTransformation

In this episode of The Liftoff, Keith sits down with Paul Powers, CEO & Co-Founder of Physna, to explore why the next wave of AI won't just generate content—it will understand objects, manufacturing, engineering, and supply chains. Paul explains how Physna's "Physical DNA" technology enables AI to understand 3D objects, helping companies dramatically improve product design, procurement, robotics, digital twins, and manufacturing intelligence. The conversation also covers reshoring manufacturing, AI infrastructure, startup timing, and why physical AI could become one of the biggest technology shifts of the decade. • What Physical AI actually means • How Physna teaches computers to understand 3D objects • Why AI struggles with the physical world today • Saving manufacturers hundreds of millions of dollars • Digital twins, robotics & engineering AI • The future of manufacturing and reshoring • AI, 3D printing & security challenges • Startup lessons from building deep-tech companies • Why timing matters more than most founders realizeCan AI Stop Illegal 3D Printing Without Invading Privacy? @Physna3D #Guns #Infringement #SafeHobbyist #GunLaws https://lnkd.in/gkhvvFVs

Digital transformation in manufacturing isn’t about adopting technology for technology’s sake.
