Software for Additive Manufacturing / 3D Printing

Design, simulation, pre-processing, distribution, manufacturing, inspection, and quality…A lot of software tools are required to effectively implement 3D printing in a production environment. What are the different categories of 3D printing software (Additive Manufacturing Software ) & most importantly, how do they fit together in an AM workflow?

Gambling on cloud technology to advance additive manufacturing

While additive manufacturing is the driver behind bringing manufacturing online, this latter segment (that we would call “cloud manufacturing”) still raises several questions among industrials. The reasons for this slow adoption certainly vary from...
