Managing Technical Risk to Help Anyone Make Anything
summary
Formlabs describes practical risk steps: for Fuse1 they build a 3D packing system benchmarked against expensive tools, using a nightly test harness over ~1,000 scenes to tune density vs runtime; UI work uses a design brief and lightweight “independent stack view” architecture to iterate on sealed, temperature‑sensitive workflows and achieves top customer satisfaction; pandemic swab work fits 324 items per build and reduces the blocking printability check from ~80 seconds to <2 seconds by patching Intel TBB, then upstreaming the fix.
