New 3D Software Innovations from Materialise

Materialise这家总部位于比利时的3D印刷先驱在上周在法兰克福举行的Euromold 2012年推出了其最新的软件创新,其中包括一些非常有趣的增强功能。

这些创新之一是领先的STL文件准备软件的最新版本 - Magics 17. 3D打印专业人员的高级软件现在是多核,可提高软件的速度。其他更新包括新的功能,例如质量测量报告,被困的体积检测(用于立体光刻),巢密度验证(用于激光烧结)等。

On display next to Magics17 were the new Build Processors, which were quite stunning as the new technology is removing some of the barriers that require high levels of skill with 3D printing processes. Many complex and unnecessary functions can be overcome by the new integration between software and hardware using a very user friendly UI making it easier to operate a 3D printer.

Jewellery fans – this one’s for you! Materialise also introduced a new jewellery solution from Marcam (Materialise’s Metal Applications Research Center for AM) – JewelFab DWS. It is a giant leap forward for the preparation of jewellery files. JewelFab DWS helps guide the user, step-by-step, through repair, support generation, slicing and platform set up.

Finally two additional Streamics™ models – AM Build and Post-Processing – were released. The demonstration included how Streamics™ can increase efficiency and ensure quality throughout the whole 3D printing process. Streamics™ brings in centralized and efficient data storage, enables tracability, repeatability and automation for some of the time and labor intensive tasks. With the new modules an integrated connection with 3D printers is possible, which allows interactive machine planning, and better control over production jobs. Streamics™ also provides an option for using predefined finishing workflows that are equipped with bar codes, increasing traceability to 100% and eliminating the human error.
