The OBJ model viewer for iOS was developed to enable an iPad to display and allow users to interact with a design as it was being three-dimensionally printed. Current iOS application restrict user interaction to a single still view or a slide show of still views.

The topic discussed how the metaphors that are used when designing a product are restrictive not allowing for alternative designs to be considered. Digital manufacturing specifically three-dimensional printing are disruptive manufacturing technologies, now being able to control manufacturing from atom to item. The result of this disruption is a shift in how we apply metaphors of old manufacturing onto these new topics without these restrictions either by forming new metaphors or adapting metaphors of old.
