Why 3DXpert?

Achieve successful, quality prints. Prepare designs for additive manufacturing (AM) to achieve speed to first good part.
Optimize design structure. Get the most out of AM with lighter weights and enhanced functional properties.
Shorten design-to-manufacturing lead time. Streamline your preparation and optimization process.
Minimize manufacturing costs. Reduce print time, material consumption, and failed builds.

What is 3DXpert?

3DXpert supports every step of the AM workflow, from design to printing. You can streamline your AM process to transition quickly and efficiently from a 3D CAD model to a high-quality, 3D-printed part. 3DXpert is the best solution for the disruptive shift from rapid prototyping to serial AM production.

Streamlined workflow - from design to printing
DfAM - CAD-based design for additive manufacturing
Build preparation - unprecedented optimization for AM
Integrated application - supports multiple CAD software solutions and both plastic and metal printers

What can you do with 3DXpert?

3DXpert has features for importing, positioning, modifying, optimizing, designing, simulating, analyzing, and slicing & hatching operations. 3DXpert is ideal for include innovative assemblies that reduce part counts and provide greater strength and efficiency, including optimized structure and lower weight. Some typical use cases include:

Brackets and blades with optimized structures
Patient-specific implants
Low-volume production of standard implants
Complex anatomical shapes and surgical implants with surface lattice
Conformal cooling inserts

3DXpert Features

Additive manufacturing workflow with 3DXpert

With 3DXpert, you no longer need to go back and forth between several different solutions to get the job done.

Design for additive manufacturing

Import native data directly from CAD. Position the part and modify it for printability. Use Generative Design, Implicit Modeling, lattice structures and textures to optimize geometry.

Build preparation

Create optimal supports, simulate printing to ensure a successful print, and define optimal printing strategies.

Manufacture

Calculate the scan path, arrange the build platform, and send to print for any industrial 3D printer.
