Additive Manufacturing
Increase design innovation:
• Designers are no longer restricted by manufacturing constrains
• Complex parts simplified to one manufacturing process
• Performance optimization using advanced geometry
Reduction in Production cost
• Eliminate the financial, temporal and environmental cost of
transportation
• Eliminate inventory
• No need for expensive tooling, like molds
Scope over Scale:
• 1st product cost = 100th product cost
• Mass Customization vs. Mass Production
Sustainability
• On average consumes 90% less material

Add and position parts to the build according to the machine’s
dimensions:
• On machine setting, display predefined machine’s build tray: shape
and dimensions
• During parts positioning allows to detect collision between the parts
and the Build Tray
• Build Tray definition can be stored in a user defined template
• No-build zones can be manually added to the template

Quickly and Automatically nest multiple parts on the Build Tray
• Different configuration options to optimize the build by time, height or
density
• Avoid colliding parts
• Customized nesting algorithm constraints
• Consider Build Tray dimensions

Automatic support generation
• Ensure print quality when there are steep overhangs or
unsupported areas
• Allow wide variety of complex and detailed parts to be
printed
Capabilities
• Automatically identify critical areas that requires support
according to the surface angle
• Support different Support Structure’s type : Block, Line,
Point
• Customize support structure using different support
parameters (e.g. teeth, thickness, etc…)
