Carbon Releases New Version of 3D Printing Software: Updated Support and Simulation Features

Carbon, a 3D manufacturing company under Digital Light Synthesis (DLS), announced a new software tool to drive 3D printing. Carbon's users of the resin-based 3D printer family will now be able to benefit from software that allows first-time printing, optimizing Support materials and minimize the need for post-processing This update is supported by cloud-based finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate 3D printing.

Roy Goldman, Carbon Software Director, goes on to state further: 'Carbon's innovation in hardware and materials science is often recognized, but our software enables all these pieces to work together seamlessly.'
'Carbon's software creates a digital platform where every cubic millimeter of parts can be designed, controlled and optimized before printing.We built the software from scratch, giving our customers a holistic view of the design process that helps Ensuring that parts run on demand, print quickly, and facilitate postprocessing These new FEA-enabled automated support tools are the first of its kind and take our software to a whole new level. '

Typical hot Oracle simulations show hotspots of multi-part cross-sections. Carbon's software has integrated the company's materials and hardware into an easy-to-use digital manufacturing system, but with these new enhancements, the latest version will be able to extend its tools, In order to design, design and print better polymer parts.

Customers will be able to use the software's various tools to ensure the first successful print job, reduce post-processing and, as Carbon has said, 'optimizing material usage support.' Turning to support, Carbon's latest software includes a cloud Driven advanced automatic support for analyzing parts so users can pinpoint where additional support may be needed for proper part printing In addition, the software comes with new fence support that supports accurate printing of the edges; these types of support are also reduced The amount of material used and helps with 3D printing require only parts that nominally support the workpiece.
Another new feature of Carbon's cloud-based architecture is secure, fast simulation, which requires a lot of computing power to simulate, which can really slow down the process, but Carbon can be simulated from days to hours. Stress concentration can now be simulated to predict warping or cracking challenges that may occur during 3D printing; in addition, the amount of heat generated on the printing plate during the printing process can be simulated so the user can evaluate potential hot spots and fine-tune the printing speed to compensate Heat contraction.

Turning to Carbon CEO and co-founder Dr Joseph de Simon said: 'Carbon's core technology is embracing new business models that inherently require new software.'
'On-demand printing of parts, redesign of machine queues, daily or even hourly printing of a series of parts, local production in the local market - these are challenges that large manufacturing and ERP companies have discussed over the years, but progress is primarily due to the fact that the underlying technology Carbon is being able to change the rules of the game by solving these problems, from prototype to real-world scale production. "
By addressing these issues, Carbon is changing the rules of the game from prototype to real-world production. "

Some of the other full-featured features of the software include:

Algorithm Design: Designers can create internal lattice structures and add functional and aesthetic textures.

Fleet Management: Carbon's software platform supports SpeedCell operations and 3D printer fleet management, using real-time dashboards and more.

Printer Configuration Files: Carbon's 3D printer includes multiple profiles optimized for repeatability and production speed.

Source: All 3D printed parts on the Carbon machine are digitally traceable, including a unique ID that can be stamped or carved on the part and identified for its digitized history.

Texture: Carbon 3D printers add texture to the final production part without any expensive post-processing methods.

Carbon's software-driven intelligence has built-in chemical and physical models to help customers quickly iterate through software-controlled printing process chemistry. Carbon is able to consolidate all product and unit operations with its cloud connectivity and the hardware undergoes new releases every six weeks Updated, so customers know that their 3D printers are running at the highest level, which also makes it easier to streamline the introduction of new resins.

'Carbon's software is an adhesive that helps us to program complex industrial designs into finished parts using our resins and printers.'

From Designing Efficiencies and Simulation to Mass Production Flows - Our software is designed for mass manufacturing and supports the supply chain in the digital manufacturing era. This is a vision and carbon for many industry 4.02 proponents. To achieve this As a goal, we are creating the cornerstone of this vision. '
