Digital Manufacturing

What is Digital Manufacturing?

Digital manufacturing leverages technology to optimize production processes through automated workflows, parametric design tools, and intelligent systems that streamline asset creation while maintaining consistency and quality. In modern development environments, these principles manifest as end-to-end content creation pipelines that transform conceptual designs into production-ready assets.

How does Digital Manufacturing work?

Parametric modeling systems allow artists to define relationships between components, enabling rapid variation generation while maintaining design integrity.

Automation handles repetitive tasks such as LOD creation, UV unwrapping, and optimization for different platform targets, dramatically reducing manual workload while ensuring consistent results.

Quality assurance gates integrated throughout the pipeline validate assets against technical requirements, flagging potential issues before they propagate downstream.

For large-scale projects, procedural generation extends these capabilities by algorithmically creating entire asset families from defined rule sets, allowing small teams to produce extensive content libraries that would be impossible through traditional methods.
