New Release of 4D_Additive 3D Printing Software: New Workflow for Industrial Additive Manufacturing
CoreTechnologie optimizes its 4D_Additive 3D printing software with a new Build History, automated data preparation, and enhanced functions for SLM supports and lattice structures.
Franco-German software manufacturer CoreTechnologie (CT) has released version 1.8 of its 4D_Additive 3D printing software. With the new Build History, powerful automatic repair of triangulated data, and enhanced lattice functions, the preparation of parts for a wide range of additive manufacturing processes is now significantly faster and more convenient.
Build History for Maximum Control
A key highlight of the new 4D_Additive 1.8 release is the new Build History Tree. Following the concept of the design history tree used in modern CAD systems, all steps involved in build job preparation are clearly and transparently displayed in a structured list. Every processing step is documented and can be accessed directly or step by step at any time.
Users can review and modify all parameters of every processing step whenever required. This provides complete workflow transparency, enables changes to be implemented more quickly, and significantly reduces overall preparation time, particularly when modifications are required.
Flexible Processing of CAD Geometries and Triangulated Data
Users can import and process models either as exact CAD geometry or as triangulated data. For particularly fast data preparation, exact CAD geometry can be selectively converted into triangulated models and subsequently optimized using the new automatic repair functionality. This enables 4D_Additive to combine the precision of native CAD data with the high processing speed of triangulated model repair.
Automatic Repair of Problematic 3D Models
The automatic correction of triangulated models has been significantly enhanced. The new “Advanced Automatic Mode” of the healing tool automates a sequence of repair operations that previously had to be performed manually. With just one click, models containing severe errors or poor-quality source data can be largely corrected automatically and optimized for subsequent build job preparation. This reduces the need for manual intervention and significantly accelerates the processing of external or problematic 3D data.
New Stiffener Function and Lattice Structures
The latest version also introduces new stiffener structures. These reinforcement structures stabilize thin-walled and large-surface parts during the manufacturing process and help prevent unwanted deformation.
Also, Lattice designs can be specifically adapted to the part geometry and functional requirements. This provides additional opportunities for reducing material consumption and developing functionally optimized lightweight components.
With 4D_Additive1.8, CoreTechnologie has taken another important step forward in the development of its additive manufacturing solution. The combination of a fully traceable Build History, flexible processing of exact and triangulated geometries, and new lattice functions is designed to further simplify and streamline the use of the software in industrial additive manufacturing.
