Selectam的新软件用于零件标识，现在支持更广泛的输入文件，可免费试用。
SelectAMis a Finnish AM software company with tools to identify parts that are suitable for 3D printing in a company’s inventory. This allows businesses to understand if there is a “viable business case” for 3D printing a component. Now SelectAM has launched a free tier of its software where potential customers can test the software free for one month.
寻找适当且在财务上可行的用例已成为对企业和工程师对增材制造领域感兴趣的障碍和振奋者。该公司希望协助消费者专注于适合使用添加剂方法制造的适当组件和应用程序。Selectam Oy的联合创始人兼首席执行官Niklas Kretzschmar博士说：“根据我们的研究和客户项目的数据，通过我们流程运行的一小部分零件似乎是今天的可行业务案例。”“此外，由于我们还将评估扩展到重新设计AM的零件或组装后的供应链关键零件和未来的业务案例，因此可以实现较大的业务案例百分比。”
SelectAM software for accelerating AM adoption
SelectAM’s software includes an embedded rapid slicer suitable for all the relevant additive manufacturing processes. The software also enables automated material mapping between traditional and AM materials.
Machine utilization can also be optimized by the usage of varied nesting strategies. These strategies can help reduce raw material waste. Analyzing each assembly and single part and checking the redesign potential of the product is enabled by the software. Users can establish their own machine and material equipment profile. The software examines the part’s surface roughness and tolerances.
Digital Inventory scanning
数字库存可以描述公司跟踪实时库存活动的方法。它需要库存监视系统，以跟踪数据并收集信息，因为成品在供应链中移动，从而提高了可见度。数字库存还可以指数字格式的物理产品的设计，即准备按需生产，何时何地。
数字库存是一个热门话题，尤其是随着欧盟立法的变化。3D打印有可能帮助许多企业遵守新的企业修复欧盟法律的权利。根据欧盟新Ecodesign和能源实验室elling legislation, consumers will have the legal right to fix the goods they purchase starting in the summer of 2021. This means that manufacturers must legally keep spare parts for their products available to customers for up to 10 years. Leading 3D printer companyEOSbelieves the new “Right to Repair” program may have a beneficial overall impact because prolonging a product’s lifespan is both economically advantageous and helps to promote more considerate resource use. According to Additive Manufacturing Consultant at EOS, Nicolas Dill, the same philosophy may be applied to machinery and manufacturing equipment, where end users gain from prolonged machine lifetimes.
Elsewhere, Philadelphia-based真实, a leader in data-driven manufacturing and workflow solutions, launchedthe Digital Design Warehouse (DDW)to simplify the sharing of digital designs. DDW will help businesses create additive manufacturing projects that are more cohesive by bringing data from diverse silos into full view across all teams.
3D printing database to identify potential time and cost savings
通过丢弃常规工具技术并缩短原型和最终产品的交货时间，使用3D打印的大众生产可以减少上市时间。此外，3D打印可以通过零件计数减少，更容易制造复杂的几何形状，甚至轻量级，从而大幅度削减夹具和固定装置，从而降低产品重量并增强工人的人体工程学。
For instance, the development of a 3D printing database has received support fromEIT数字, a digital innovation, education, and community accelerator of the欧洲创新技术学院（EIT）。The directory, which was created to assist manufacturers in identifying potential time and cost advantages, hopes to persuade more companies to transition to 3D printing from traditional techniques.
阿尔托大学in Finland previously创建了一个数据库，可作为插件可用forDeskArtes, a Finnish industrial partner that makes 3D data expert software.西门子, a top manufacturer, and producer of 3D software developed knowledge graphs for the system to ensure rational connections between all gathered data.
