Materialise partners with Siemens to unlock native Magics CAD workflow functionality

Belgian 3D printing software developer and service providerMaterialise宣布将本机CAD工作流功能添加到其魔术platform.

Siemens’寄生虫软件,魔法用户很快就能开关seamlessly between CAD and mesh workflows, and continue iterating upon designs without having to leave the program. According to Materialise, this upgrade could also enable adopters to better prepare parts for 3D printing, upping their productivity, while yielding “more accurate and fit-for-purpose build data.”

“多年来,3D打印行业已经讨论了CAD还是网格是文件准备的首选工作流程,” Materalize Software副总裁Stefaan Motte解释说。“我们认为,两种格式的无缝集成都可以为用户提供最佳的工作流程。”

Materialise’s modular offering

尽管Magics是名义上实现的专有构建准备软件,但它提供的不仅仅是切片功能,还为用户提供了简化的端到端工作流程,从直接导入设计文件到最终报告。

Whether users are operating PBF, SLS, MJF, SLA, binder jetting or EBM machines, Magics allows them to repair, edit and even enhance parts, via its auto-fixing and latticing tools. The platform also comes with simplified nesting, automated support generation and built-in analytics utilities, features designed to make it less time-intensive to use, and to allow users to identify defects and avoid aborted prints.

Since launching Magics, Materialise has continually upgraded its software offering, first adding a金属添加剂模拟模块, beforelaunching a dental add-on这是为了加快正畸印刷准备的加快,现在概述了将其提升到一个新水平的计划,并随着明年的寄生虫的整合。

魔术队获得了另一个维度

由开发Siemens’ Digital Industries Softwaredivision, Parasolid is marketed as the world’s leading geometric 3D modeling kernel. Working as part of the company’s broaderXceleratorportfolio, the software provides a range of modeling capabilities, including solid modeling, direct editing and free-form surface/sheet modeling, to those engaged in product design, simulation and manufacturing.

寄生虫now has more than 150 users in sectors ranging from automotive to construction, thus its offering is similarly broad, but its modelling features can generally be broken into designer, editor and communication functions. While the former is designed to enable users to create, manipulate and store demanding models, the latter are meant to facilitate downstream editing, repair and display.

The program also features Siemens’ Convergent Modeling technology, which enables both mesh data and traditional CAD geometries to be mixed within a fully-unified environment. In doing so, the software removes the need for translating data between different formats, a process that can be time-consuming and prone to errors, while allowing users to effectively streamline their manufacturing workflows.

By adding Convergent Modeling technology into Magics, Materialise says that its customers will be able to “benefit from the best of both worlds” moving forwards, and use CAD data to edit part designs before switching to mesh for platform preparation, in a way that allows those engineers more familiar with the former, to edit their parts with greater confidence.

Known as ‘Magics 26,’ Materialise adds that its upgraded platform is set to be released in spring 2022, at which point it will “power additive manufacturing champions with a cohesive and fully-integrated workflow for 3D printing.”

Siemens in the 3D printing industry

而参数化实体的集成无疑将be good news for Magics fans, it’s far from the first time that Siemens’ software has been utilized within 3D printing. In June 2021, for instance, car manufacturerVolkswagenannounced plans to use the company’s programming to优化其植物的生产率在沃尔夫斯堡(Wolfsburg),生产中正在部署Binder Jet 3D打印。

Siemens alsoexpanded its existing partnershipwithEOS北美今年早些时候,旨在提高采用工业化3D打印的目的。作为公司扩大合作的一部分,EOS同意于2月开始使用机器出售西门子的软件,从而为客户提供了在设计和生产过程之间实现更大连接性的方法。

Elsewhere, the firm deploys additive manufacturing itself within its西门子的能量spin-off, which managed to develop a新颖的数字修理链earlier this year. The fully-automated workflow enables features, such as intricate cooling channels, to be 3D printed into the tips of gas turbine blades, that reduce their risk of suffering from cracks or defects.
