3D Printing News Briefs, June 23, 2022: New Software, DfAM Course, & More - | The Voice of 3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing
Summary
The release has plenty of exciting new updates and features, with better functionality for reverse engineering, quality inspection, and full-color CGI workflows, and was designed with the user in mind, so all subscribers will automatically receive full access to AS17. AS17 also features better metrological accuracy with manual control over targets and new scan-to-CAD tools, Boolean operations for reverse engineering, more efficient mesh splitting and a better segment brush, and a new photo viewing mode. “We believe AS17 will raise the bar again, and we can’t wait to see how our users respond and what they create.” America Makes and Wohlers Associates, powered by ASTM International, announced that they are partnering up to offer a three-day design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) course next month. The course will cover the economies of AM, such as consolidating multiple parts into one, in addition to topology optimization, DfAM rules and guidelines, lattice and mesh structures, modeling and simulation of distortion caused by heat, and more. Finally, global metal 3D printing OEM AddUp and the Acrotec Group, one of the largest European medical contract manufacturers, are partnering up to develop an industrial AM solution for the medtech sector.
