ROCK HILL, S.C., Aug. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- At EMO 2019, 3D
Systems (NYSE: DDD) will showcase its end-to-end metals
manufacturing portfolio that enables production workflows to
improve agility, reduce complexity and lower total cost of
operation (TCO). 3D Systems' software portfolio addresses
every phase of the digital production workflow, from design and
manufacture through inspection. The company will display these
products in its booth (H19 in Hall 9) along with a range of
industrial customer applications designed to create more innovative
products faster.
3D Systems and GF Machining Solutions announced a strategic
partnership in August 2018, and will
have a joint presence in Hall 27, Booth B26. The partnership
combines 3D Systems' innovation and expertise in additive
manufacturing with GF Machining Solutions' renowned leadership in
precision machining, enabling manufacturers to more efficiently
produce complex metal parts within tight tolerances, and reduce
TCO. The companies will feature their co-branded metal 3D printing
solutions – DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 500 – designed to enhance
metal parts production and redefine manufacturing environments.
Metals Platform Designed for Scalable, Repeatable Metal Part
Production
At EMO 2019, attendees will be able to learn more
about the companies' co-branded solutions – DMP Flex 350 and
DMP Factory 500. These solutions enable scalable metal additive
manufacturing across a variety of markets including aerospace and
power generation, healthcare, and tool making. For these markets in
particular areas of interest include: fuel applications, RF
applications and airfoil components, spinal cages, mold inserts
with conformal cooling for injection molding and die casting. The
DMP Flex 350 and DMP Factory 500 include 3D Systems'
3DXpert®, an all-in-one integrated software solution for
the entire metal additive manufacturing workflow, which will also
be available for demonstration.
Attendees to EMO 2019 who are interested in learning more about
the power of combining subtractive and additive manufacturing
technologies are invited to attend the companies' joint
presentation on Thursday, September
19, 12PM at Booth I24, Hall 9
- Forum New Technologies. Mark Cook,
vice president, metals products, 3D Systems and Stefan Dahl, head of advanced manufacturing, GF
Machining Solutions, will present "Building the Digital Factory
through Metal Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing
Technologies."
New Software Releases Support Increased Productivity, Reduced
Delivery Time
"3D Systems software portfolio has products
that address each phase of digital production to help our customers
accelerate their workflow," said Radhika
Krishnan, senior vice president, software & healthcare,
3D Systems. "At EMO 2019, we'll unveil the latest software releases
of core products that deliver high quality parts. Through
collaboration with our customers, we gain deeper understanding of
their application needs, and use those insights to develop
innovative solutions – accelerating design and production while
reducing manufacturing costs."
With Cimatron 15, toolmakers can deliver exceptionally high
quality tools, faster with new and enhanced capabilities.
- New Mill/Turn Capabilities - fully integrated within the
CAM environment, allowing easy programming, machine simulation and
post-processing of the entire NC process.
- 5-Axis Capabilities - innovative new functionality to
support complex machining and accelerate production. User
advantages include:
-
- Automated 5-Axis Roughing – automatic programming for
even faster and fully optimized roughing calculation than previous
Cimatron releases.
- Guided Multi-Axis Cleanup –automatic calculation of
multi-direction cleanup motions with a single click minimizing the
risk of part and machine damage.
- Geodesic Technology – A leading edge, high quality
toolpath calculates an even 3D step over complex parts for
exceptional quality surface finishing.
- New 5-Axis Automatic Deburring - by geometry, surfaces
or an entire model.
- Enhanced Plate Machining Application – Toolmakers can
now automate and shorten the programming process using
feature-based machining technology.
- Circle Segment Cutters – to shorten machining time and
achieve superior surface quality with barrel, lens, oval and three
radii segment cutting tools.
- New Cooling Design and a new Conformal Cooling
Application combines drilled and automated calculated conformal
channels for outstanding support of mixed manufacturing
environments. Also available now as a standalone seat.
- Mold Correction Tools – mitigate the risks of warpage,
saves time and cost.
General availability for Cimatron 15 is planned for late Q4
2019.
Attendees to EMO 2019 can also learn more about the new
capabilities available in 3D Systems' Geomagic Control X 2020. The
upcoming release of 3D Systems' metrology software includes
additional functionality providing users across an organization
with simple, powerful inspection capabilities leading to better
decision making, improved efficiency in inspection workflows, and
reduction of overall risks and costs.
- Probing Workflow Enhancements help users adapt to
difficult inspection challenges with new flexible geometry creation
methods, updated Move Device function with traceability analysis,
and a revamped probe point management system that provides simple
insight into probing results. From a single view, users can now see
how much a probe point influences the inspection result, and
determine if the source of error is from the part, or perhaps by
the probing process itself.
- Direction Tolerances accurately identify and understand
sources of manufacturing errors to help designers perform
root-cause error analysis more efficiently.
- The new Inspection Viewer allows individual analysis by
any contributor or reviewer with custom reporting and analytics
tailored to their unique role. This is complemented by
Annotation Groups that provide concise results per feature.
The combined features facilitate improved communication across
functions that enables better decision-making resulting in fewer
errors.
- The updated Automation Server includes new process
triggers that help users reduce processing overhead by allowing
them to automate the processing of scan groups without scripting.
The point-cloud enabled Simulated CMM Points help users
automate real-world contact measurements with virtual instruments.
This results in easy creation of automated, integrated solutions to
improve productivity and reduce cost.
General availability for Geomagic Control X 2020 is planned for
Q4 2019.
These new releases alongside Geomagic Design X,
3DXpert® and GibbsCAM® will demonstrate
the power of the company's comprehensive suite of subtractive and
additive manufacturing software designed to streamline digital
manufacturing workflows.
