Autodesk Netfabb brings powerful design and additive manufacturing tools together in a single software environment, giving product designers and engineers all the tools needed to optimize, validate and successfully produce models using additive manufacturing processes.
Features:
- Import: Nearly all CAD formats
Import a wide range of CAD files and convert them into clean STL
and other additive manufacturing file formats inside Netfabb,
eliminating common conversion errors and human errors.
- Repair: Fast and fully automatic
Correct problems and repair hundreds of parts fully automatically
using powerful batch repair to close holes, eliminate
self-intersections, wrapping and other defects. Manual repair tools
and customizable repair scripts allow you to cut out errors, edit
meshes and compare modified meshes with original files.
- Specify: Define macros according to your needs
Automatic Z-compensation prevents deformations of parts during the
build. Integrated batch mode for autonomous repair, scaling,
refinement, triangle reduction, part grouping, and renaming of
hundreds of files.
- Edit: Interact with your designs
Take advantage of extensive model editing abilities: adjust meshes
with retriangulation, triangle reduction, freeform clipping and
cutting. Comprehensive Boolean operations, allow you to create
holes, merge and separate parts, and extract features. What’s more,
you can add text, emboss logos and transform pictures and textures
to reliefs - all within a user-friendly interface.
- Optimize: Achieve the optimal results
Adjust parts to fit the capabilities of any 3D printer.
Sophisticated cutting tools ensure parts fit into the platform with
ease. You can offset, hollow, and smooth parts, adjust wall
thicknesses, add machining stock and reduce sharp edges to fit the
capabilities of your machine. For even better end results, smooth
surfaces and reduce file sizes for faster handling and precise
triangle reduction.
- Accelerate: Edit and optimize your print data in
2.5D
Utilize 2.5D mode to speed up processing time. And for laser-based
machines, you can define hatching patterns, adjust temperature and
speed up calculations, reducing processing time and build time.
- Label: Use 3D printing for mass production
Shorten production cycles for larger, more complex tasks in
additive manufacturing. Automatic mass labeling tool makes it easy
to apply unique identification codes to any number of identical
parts for quality assurance in mass production applications.
- Pack: Seamless digital-to-print experience
Rotate and arrange parts by outbox and even real contour on
customizable or predefined platforms. Minimize the outbox to reduce
waste and increase printing efficiency.
- Quote: Quickly predict cost and build issues
Integrated analysis functions help you perform quick calculations &
control parameters related to costs, quality, and process
stability. Examine part features such as wall thickness, support
volume, shadow surfaces, layer times, upskin & downskin areas to
identify production risks.
- Data: Extract data to improve communication
Streamline and simplify customer communications by exporting all
build information into data sheets. Integrated document writer
generates quotes, build reports, and project plans as PDFs and XLS
documents in seconds. Create customized templates so that you don’t
have to start from scratch for every job.
- Export: Take control of your printing
environment
Optimize your print data in 2.5D where you can merge or hollow
parts to speed up processing time. And for laser-based machines,
you can precisely define hatching patterns, adjust temperature and
speed up calculations, reducing processing time.
- Accurate: Manipulate meshes on a slice level
Make edits on a slice level with the powerful slice editor with
offsets, Boolean operations, filling, cutting, and point reduction.
Export support-slices and part-slices separately and manufacture
them with different machine settings.
