Collaboration to integrate metal 3D printing capabilities in PTC
Creo CAD software
Materialise NV (Nasdaq: MTLS) a global leader in 3D Printing,
and PTC have partnered to increase the 3D printing capabilities of
PTC’s Creo suite of computer-aided design (CAD) software. This
collaboration will expand access to 3D Printing and allow
manufacturers to more easily integrate 3D printing capabilities
into their manufacturing process, signaling another milestone in
the increasing adoption of 3D Printing in the manufacturing
industry.
3D Printing is positioning itself as a valuable complimentary
manufacturing technology. Especially with recent advancements in
metal 3D Printing, additive manufacturing is increasingly adopted
when solving specific manufacturing challenges and creating
customized, complex end-use products. As the manufacturing industry
continues to discover its potential, the need to integrate advanced
3D Printing as part of a product lifecycle management system will
continue to increase.
“Our collaboration with PTC will bring improved 3D Printing
capabilities to PTC’s CAD software and makes it easier for
manufacturers to integrate 3D Printing into their operations,” said
Stefaan Motte, Vice President and General Manager, Materialise
Software. “This collaboration with PTC will expand access to 3D
Printing and help engineers and designers think in terms of
additive, rather than traditional manufacturing for rapid product
design and development.”
Powered by Materialise’s Build Processor, the solution will
offer manufacturers a seamless connection between PTC’s software
and 3D printing machines equipped with a Materialise Build
Processor. It will also support metal 3D Printing and include
Materialise’s support generation technology, which gives designers
more control over the design and creation of metal support
structures, a time and effort consuming part of the 3D printing
process.
“As 3D Printing becomes a more prominent part of the
manufacturing toolkit, we are working with Materialise to create
robust support for the technology in Creo,” said Brian Thompson,
senior vice president and general manager, CAD segment at PTC.
“Together with Materialise, we will bridge the gap between CAD
design software and the 3D printing machines.”
