package of powerful software programs that allows users of Desktop
Metal, Desktop Health, ETEC and ExOne 3D printing systems to
seamlessly manage their build preparation, printers, accessories,
and processes with success in one cloud-based location. (Graphic:

Building on the success of the company’s Live Sinter™ simulation
software, Live Suite enables users to make their digital design
data come alive easily and accurately in 3D printed metal, polymer,
and ceramic parts. Live Sinter uses an advanced multi-physics
approach based on state-of-the art GPUs to simulate the end-to-end
printing and sintering process — generating new design shapes that
will deliver the desired final part within tight tolerances.
Furthermore, Live Sinter applies state of the art machine learning
to calibrate this simulation process to match real-world results
for the world’s largest install base of binder jet systems.
“AM 2.0 is a digital manufacturing process that is ultimately
powered by software, and we believe Live Suite offers the most
intuitive and powerful AM software on the market,” said Ric Fulop,
Founder and CEO of Desktop Metal. “Live Suite is the culmination of
six years of development by our talented global software team to
make AM technology easy to use and ensure it delivers the highest
quality results with the most intelligent approaches. As a result,
the high level of success that users of our binder jet and DLP
technology experience today is simply unmatched.”
Live Suite will come standard with most new hardware this year,
and it eliminates the need for users to purchase other expensive 3D
printing software programs to use their equipment. “Our strategy
remains focused on keeping digital manufacturing accessible, so our
users have the tools they want and don’t pay for expensive features
they don’t need,” Fulop added.
Introducing Desktop Metal Live Suite
Live Platform™ is the all-new cloud-based hub for all Live Suite
applications and services. Organized into four content categories —
build, manage, learn, and support — the hub enables users to manage
their entire workflow in one convenient location with 2FA
security.
Live Platform is also the new central administration hub for
Live Suite, with the ability to provision and manage Desktop Metal
3D printing systems and users, as well as access firmware updates,
knowledge, and technical support. A new Business Units feature
allows larger companies with multiple users and departments to
easily manage 3D printer permissions and controls for groups.
Customers will also be able to use Live Platform to add on a
wide range of application-specific options, such as part
serialization or optimized build instructions for specific parts
ranging from dentures to valves. Examples of special add-on
features include Autopilot, which automates build preparation for
both dental and additional part-specific applications, and Live
Monitor, which will soon be available to remotely view jobs as they
progress through printers and ancillary equipment.
In all, Live Suite contains these powerful tools:
- Live Sinter™, a popular tool among users of the Desktop Metal
Shop System™, as well as X-Series and Production System™, metal
printers. This premium application simplifies production of
sintered metal parts via binder jetting with powerful, generative
AI multi-physics sintering simulation and new, scan-based
adjustments that deliver parts with tight tolerances. The software
achieves this by predicting and generating sinter-ready, printable
designs in as little as 20 minutes.
- Live Build™ MFG is a desktop-based build preparation software
that replaces and upgrades Desktop Metal’s Fabricate MFG
application. Live Build MFG will support build preparation for all
binder jet 3D printing of metal, wood, ceramic, and sand designs.
Customers currently using ExOne X-Prep or other similar tools will
be phased into Live Build MFG over the next 12 months.
- Live Build™ DLP is desktop-based build preparation software for
customers of Desktop Health and ETEC digital light processing (DLP)
printers for photopolymer, elastomer, and foam. Customers currently
using Envision One RP and other similar tools will be phased into
Live Build DLP over the next 12 months.
- Live Studio™ is a cloud-based build preparation software that
replaces and upgrades Fabricate™. Live Studio supports slicing and
build preparation for Desktop Metal’s Bound Metal Deposition™
systems, including the Studio System 2.
Users of existing Desktop Metal equipment will see updates to
their software starting today or by year’s end, as noted in a
schedule of the Live Suite rollout detailed in release notes
located in the Knowledge Base. Additionally, customers can watch a
Get Started video in the Academy.
