Definition:

• A process of joining materials to make physical

objects from 3D CAD model, usually layer upon

layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing or

molding/casting technologies.

What is Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing?

There are many different technologies… and materials … and mechanical properties… and …


6 #LiveWorx

• Economic Low Volume Production

– e.g. by eliminating expensive tooling

• Increased Geometric Freedom

– e.g. manufacture any part shape, the design complexity is unlimited

• Increased Part Functionality

– e.g. part consolidation, full moving assemblies, freedom to redesign

• Product Personalization

– e.g. make a variation of the design at every print will not affect the

cost

• Improved Environment Sustainability

– e.g. less material waste

• New Supply Chains and Retail Models

– e.g. fabricate at the point of consumption, short run manufacturing

Business

• Top management awareness

• Affordability of the solutions

• Sustainability

– Low-volume production cannot scale up easily

• Industry standards

• Intellectual property concerns

Technical

• 3D CAD systems are not “aware” of the

additive manufacturing capabilities

• Lack of design tools for additive

manufacturing

• Lack of analysis tools for 3d printed parts

• Lack of integration with ERP and PLM

• More and better materials

• Printer—Selects a 3D printer from the

list.

• Material—Opens a selection of

materials and colors, depending on the

combination of the selected materials.

• Finish—Sets a glossy or a matte

surface finish to the printed model.

• STL Resolution—Sets the tessellation

chord height in the STL file. Or defined

as: fine, medium or coarse.

• Scale—Sets the size of the printed

model. Only uniform scaling


• Automatic Position—Positions the

model on the tray automatically.

• Position—Enables translation and

rotation of the model on the tray, using

the 3D dragger.

• Draft Angle—Sets the minimal angle to

create a visual representation of

support material

• Display Support Material—Displays the

representation of the maximal support

material on the tray. The Stratasys

printer software performs the actual

support material structure.

• Calculate Build—Calculates the

required amount of build and support

materials and displays the outcome in

the graphics window.

• Printability Validation can select

Validate All, Validate Narrow Gaps, or

Validate Thin Walls.

• Clipping—Enables clipping the view,

using the 3D dragger.

• Save a Copy—Saves the model and

the model translation and rotation to an

STL file. This button is available for

user-defined printers.

• PTC’s manufacturing applications landscape is expanding, adding Additive Manufacturing.

• The use of Additive Manufacturing technologies in regular production is very promising.

– The value is tangible and quantifiable

– The top drivers of adoption are: Weight reduction, ability to create complex parts and cost savings (especially in tooling)

– At the crossroads of a need for product personalization and a high value item lies the sweet spot to justify the projects

• PTC is working to help Creo users in the adoption of Additive Manufacturing technologies.

– Lattice feature to enable light weight designs

– Lattices optimization through an integrated design-analysis process cycle to verify structural performance

– Tray Assembly to data-manage the information of the 3D printing jobs in Windchill

– And other functionalities… to be disclosed at a later date…
