Description

Netfabb® software offers robust features for preparing builds, enhancing designs for additive manufacturing, simulating metal printing processes, and organizing CNC post-processing. Users can import models from numerous CAD formats and utilize repair features to swiftly fix any issues. To ensure models are ready for production, adjustments can be made to wall thicknesses, surface roughness, and other characteristics. The software identifies support necessities, allowing users to generate support structures with semi-automated tools. It also facilitates the conversion of organic, free-form mesh files into boundary representation models, which can be exported in formats like STEP, SAT, or IGES for CAD applications. Furthermore, 2D and 3D packing algorithms help arrange parts efficiently within the build volume. Custom reports can be created to encompass essential manufacturing and quoting details, while users can formulate build strategies and set toolpath parameters to optimize surface quality, part density, and processing speed. This comprehensive suite makes it easier for manufacturers to streamline their workflows and improve production efficiency.
