Laura Griffiths reports back from Realize LIVE where she sat down with Aaron Frankel, VP Additive Manufacturing Software Program at Siemens Digital Industries Software to talk AM, AI and more.
Some of those features, which Dassault describes as 'designer-driven enhancements,' include streamlined part design with a new selection accelerator for chamfers and the ability to create smoother variable size fillets.
The two companies have announced an integration of nTop's computational design software with the NVIDIA OptiX rendering framework and NVIDIA Omniverse technologies.
The news is said to represent a significant milestone for the additive manufacturing company and the commercialisation of its software following the initiation of a technical and commercial software development agreement last year.
Designed to accelerate the production of investment casting master patterns, the build processor has been built from Materialise's NxG Build Processor and is designed specifically for Stratasys' Neo 450 and Neo 800 stereolithography 3D printers.
The additive manufacturing company says the software add-on can maximise material removal from the interior of casting patterns for cleaner burnout, efficient draining, lower costs and faster build times.
The Swedish SaaS provider says the injection of capital will accelerate development of its digital twin solutions focused on metal additive manufacturing, and enable it to scale operations and expand R&D.
The software includes 3DXpert Build Simulation, Manufacturing OS Build Monitoring, and 3DXpert Build Inspection and works with existing image and sensor technology inside metal printers to monitor the entire manufacturing process.
