3D models can be interoperable for Additive Manufacturing  (AM) and Virtual Environments (VEs).   Example operational requirements include capability for Naval and Joint forces to conduct real-time 3D communications over multiple networks, ability to conduct model-based logistics rehearsal in geo-enabled 3D virtual environments, and enabling digital-thread compatibility to deliver 3D models to networked 3D printers.

Here is where we describe how models get prepared in the Model Exchange Staging Area version control.
