certain bespoke applications may want to apply the same series of operations to a design space that varies to suit a certain individual rather than manually creating each part, carbon's automation tools allow you to define that set of operations as a model program in design engine and then run that model program over and over with custom inputs one example that we'll use to illustrate automation capabilities is a custom insole two types of custom inputs are utilized in this case design space an individualized design space, or model, created to match a particular person's foot pressure map an individualized set of data points based on a particular person's weight distribution across their foot inputs are tokenized to be repeated in a model program that is run via carbon’s automation platform to repeatedly create customized parts output stl files can be downloaded or directly placed on builds for printing model program automation set up model program in design engine upload design space upload pressure map data in csv file format generate strut lattice solidify strut lattice for a downloadable stl file this model program will be applied to every design space, using pressure map data set the lattice parameters accordingly to suit the application's performance requirements set up model program set up automation click on the arrow next to the project name and select automation select the input types to utilize (you do not need to use all types) click submit to generate a model program that can be used via carbon's automation platform set up automation contact carbon automation functionality is available upon request contact carbon for assistance note that running automated processes incurs additional per part processing fees; contact carbon
