三维造型ftware developerRiven宣布推出了一项技术，该技术可以生产“更准确”的3D印刷零件。
Compatible with FFF, SLA, MJF and binder jetting machines, the new Warp Adapted Model or ‘WAM’ capabilities of the firm’s platform, allow users to capture and use full-part 3D data from an initial design to identify and correct errors in minutes.
该公司还同意将WAM集成到Authentise的Ames软件中，这种方式将看到Riven传感器的扫描数据自动加载到该计划的可追溯性报告中。在这样做的情况下，Authentise表示，用户将能够实现“所有零件的完整上下文数据捕获”，从而从Riven的WAM型号中挑出任何差异，并以更大的信心向前发展订单。
“ Riven的WAM技术在所有AM生产技术中都浮出水面，”“我很高兴看到现有的AM系统现在能够生产生产零件并满足以前不可能的公差规格。身份知名的客户将看到直接的好处，尤其是在设置和管理系列制作订单方面。”
Riven’s ‘3D reality platform’
Riven specializes in developing software and scanning products that optimize the New Production Introduction or ‘NPI’ process. Describing the way manufacturers launch new products as “broken,” the firm says that “the majority of companies miss critical ship dates and suffer cost overruns,” due to antiquated analog data communication, engineering capacity constraints and fragile supply chains.
To get around these issues, Riven has developed a combined数据捕获和计算平台，在哪些零件可以更容易扫描，对CAD文件进行检查并跨用户共享。使用这种方法，该公司声称采用者能够以极高的精度自动检查尺寸缺陷，降至0.002英寸的精度水平，重复性为0.0004英寸。
In practise, Riven is still rolling the technology out and working with select groups to help optimize their new product designs, while marketing the platform as a subscription for $4800 per year. However, having worked with several mid-market and Fortune 500 OEMs, as well as service bureaus during the course of the year, the company is now taking its approach a step further, with the introduction of WAM.
Putting ‘WAM’ into practise
According to Riven, WAM has demonstrated the ability to “improve the quality and accuracy of every build” produced across various 3D printers, including those powered by legacy technologies. As opposed to simulation-based approaches to part optimization, the company also says that WAM is more accessible, as it doesn’t require a prior knowledge of machine or material parameters to operate.
When tested with entry-level FFF machines, for instance, the firm found that its software reduced average print errors by nearly a third, and improved part accuracy (where errors were deviations of over 0.25mm) from 80% to 93%.
Whether it’s being deployed by short-run clients with projects that only need a few units, or those that require thousands of components, Riven also sees its technology as being hugely scalable. In fact, the company says it’s currently developing joint solutions with “leading AM equipment and AMES partners,” that it anticipates will open new 3D printing markets in the industrial, aerospace and consumer sectors.
WAM采用者总裁内特·希金斯（Nate Higgins）说：“ Riven的WAM是一种独特而有力的能力，使我们能够以更严格的公差交付生产部件，并通过消除流程迭代来节省数周。”FreeFORM Technologies。“这进一步表明了Riven在加快产品接受度和改善中型和财富500名客户的体验方面的价值。”
除WAM的推出外，Riven透露，它还正在开发该软件的新预测“ PWAM”版本。现在，在预发行测试中，据说该技术能够自动创建预先调整的模型，使其能够以比其前代产品更大的规模交付零件，并进一步最大程度地减少废料诱导的废物。
Riven的真实合作伙伴关系
As well as unveiling WAM, Riven has announced the integration of its 3D reality platform into theAuthentise Manufacturing Execution System(AMES). In essence, AMES is a data-driven workflow optimization software that’s designed to enable users to create a digital thread of their entire manufacturing process, and monitor the compliance and scheduling of parts produced in real-time.
Over the last year or so, Authentise has added several upgrades to build on its platform’s capabilities, first releasing anAMES powder tracking update在2020年10月，然后添加信号’sdigital twin visualization toola month later.
随着WAM的整合，Ames现在将围绕零件CAD文件，处理和材料直接处理到Riven的软件中的额外信息提供，而该软件又可以用来快速识别与所需规范的任何分歧。结果，用户可以期望提供更一致的组件，而将来，WAM补偿将能够自动触发新订单。
Using this newly-upgraded version of AMES, Wegner has also said that he expects adopters to be able to “greatly accelerate new product introduction,” while Riven Founder James Page claims that the revised software could be vital in providing OEMs and service bureaus with the confidence, that 3D printing can “deliver production parts quickly that meet specs.”
“Authentise’s open platform and workflow automation are an excellent complement to Riven’s push-button easy capture, analysis and streamlined data aggregation,” concluded Page. “Data lakes based on capture of complete as-manufactured parts, fuel Riven’s next generation predictive ML technology, enabling even higher part quality and reduced time to production deliveries for Authentise customers.”
