In cooperation with CoreTechnologie, Additive Innovation is now offering a selection of free textures for 3D printed parts from Substance, Hewlett Packard (HP) and VDI 3400 for a print job.
Additive Innovation (AI), a company specialising in additive manufacturing, is now offering a new 3D printing service with free texture generation. By using the 3D printing software 4D_Additive from CoreTechnologie, texture pattern from Substance and HP as well as VDI 3400 are available to improve the look and feel of 3D printed parts.
3D Contours in Seconds
Together with the experts from AI, customers select the right texture pattern for their components. With the powerful 4D_Additive software, the desired textures become visible as 3D contours on the model within a few seconds and can be printed directly. After submitting the 3D data in any major format and approving the print quotation, the textures are generated free of charge as part of the print job.
Lattice for Lightweight Construction and Damping
Around 20 patterns are available for creating lattice structures, ranging from honeycomb and gyroid to bionic structures. The lattice function of the 4D_Additive software generates complex lattices on the component in seconds as internal or external structures. The application is particularly relevant in 3D printing processes for lightweight construction and damping.
Automated Repair of 3D Scans
Scans from a Keyence scanner can be automatically healed and thereby converted into watertight volumes in seconds if required and printed immediately. The usual time-consuming repair of scanned STL data is no longer necessary. Thanks to the automated repair, the data is immediately available for 3D printing.
Components in PA 12 and TPU
Additive Innovation’s machine park includes HP Multijet Fusion printers for the tried-and-tested PA 12 material. A Weirather WLS 3232 is used to print high-quality and extremely resilient TPU-02-BK from AM Polymers with a print density of up to 5 bar.
Using lattice structures and textures, the 4D_Additive software makes it possible to create components with damping properties as well as a new look and feel. As a spin-off of the international software company CoreTechnologie, the 3D printing service provider Additive Innovation can draw on extensive expertise in 3D data repair for the generation of lattice structures and the creation of textures.
