Sculpteo, the specialist force in online 3D printing, has recently announced Agile Metal Technology, an online agent-based system that helps designers and manufacturers analyze and evaluate metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) projects. Metal 3D printing is beginning to make inroads into manufacturing however metal projects are often excessively costly, time consuming and complicated due to the need for multiple repetitions of a part before it can be finalized.
Agile Metal Technology can find and fix problems, automate complex procedures, find “best fit” processes and techniques, offer predictions and recommendations about how to optimize design elements including lattices, supports and post-processing workflows.
âMetal 3D printing offers the possibility of building new parts with complex geometries that are not possible with traditional methods, however getting metal additive manufacturing is a serious challenge,â? said Clement Moreau, CEO of Sculpteo. âAs the complexity of additive manufacturing grows, it is difficult to get the necessary information to make the project go smoothly. Experts and specific software exist, but they are extremely expensive, and add to production time.â? Batch Controller is a replica of the Sculpteo batch control tool for metal 3D printing technologies.
