Ilan Erez, Senior Vice President and Software General Manager for 3D Systems, says, “Our goal with 3D Sprint 2.0 is to make 3D printing in plastic easier and faster than ever before. Having a single software platform for 3D Systems’ plastic printers helps our customers achieve greater productivity and improved results.”
Connectivity: The system is easily scalable and flexible, to adapt to rapid material and print technology innovation. It provides file I/O to support industry-standard 3D file formats, and support will later be provided for all native CAD and polygonal formats in the premium version.- Analysis and Repair: It offers advanced and automated part geometry analysis, as well as error correction for translation issues in CAD and STL design files, and bad polygon geometry in 3D scans. It also features manual polygon editing tools for more difficult geometry repair, and gives you the capability to intelligently fill in holes and gaps in the polygon data.
- Design Automation: This tool can help accomplish modeling objectives for 3D printing applications, which reduces the need for any additional software. There are also easy-to-use modeling wizards available, that come with their own automated tools.
- Management and Monitoring: You have the option of loading 3D Sprint 2.0 build files created on another system directly to your printer, or submitting print jobs directly from the Print Workspace. You can efficiently manage your material usage and build priority decisions through material estimation algorithms, and the queue management tools give you complete control over job priorities, in addition to status updates on remaining build times. You also have visibility of all networked or shared printers.
Users are now able to effectively streamline their 3D printing processes with 3D Sprint 2.0, which can decrease the cost of ownership for any 3D Systems 3D printers, as you’ll no longer need to purchase expensive software seats from any third-party vendors.
“3D Sprint 2.0 is the fastest and most reliable user interface we’ve ever used. Having a single piece of intelligent software that can create estimates on numerous virtual machines makes our operations more nimble, and the level of interoperability sets a new standard for what people will expect from 3D printing interfaces in the future,” said Ian Sayers, 3D Printer and Scanner Sales for Hawk Ridge Systems, a partner of 3D Systems.
