Materialise and PTC Partner to Offer Cloud-Based, 3D Printing Solution for PTC’s Creo 4.0 Through i.materialise
November 16 2016 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Materialise NV (NASDAQ:MTLS), is proud to announce an
alliance with PTC, which sees PTC tapping into Materialise’s
backbone of 3D printing software and solutions to enable users of
PTC’s highly-anticipated Creo® 4.0 software to 3D
print designs directly through the cloud-based i.materialise
platform. Powered by the Materialise Magics 3D Print Suite and
connected to one of the world’s largest and most complete factories
for 3D printing, the i.materialise platform offers high-quality 3D
prints in 19 different materials and 100+ possible color and finish
combinations.
“When we launched the i.materialise platform in 2009, we did so
with the aim of giving more consumers, home professionals, and
small businesses access to the best that professional-quality 3D
printing had to offer, giving physical form to creative ideas in a
variety of materials and finishes to match our customers’
functional, aesthetic, and budgetary needs,” stated Materialise
CTO, Bart Van der Schueren. “Today, we are excited to be partnering
with PTC to expand the reach of these benefits to an even greater
audience through a planned integration with Creo 4.0, and we look
forward to working together with their team to even further improve
the experience of their users.”
Paul Sagar, Vice President of Product Management at PTC, stated,
“For more than 20 years, people have been using 3D printing to
manufacture rapid prototypes. However, in recent years, the
technology has proven increasingly useful for final production
parts, in part because 3D printing makes it possible to manufacture
ultra-light components by enabling lattice structures that provide
all of the strength, with a fraction of the material. Therefore, in
Creo 4.0, we’re adding capabilities to design, analyze and optimize
these highly complex lattice structures directly inside the model.
In addition, the planned integration with i.materialise will allow
Creo 4.0 users to directly order professional-grade 3D prints in
the material and finishing required.”
As a partner of PTC, Materialise looks forward to giving Creo
4.0 users direct access to a comprehensive range of 3D printing
technologies and finishes, and to working further with the PTC team
to help their customers successfully design and manufacture end-use
parts.
