Riven Demonstrates Quick Re-Scaling Tool

L: Compare-to-CAD results for a first FDM part scanned and processed with Riven’s re-scaling tool to find X,Y,Z re-scaling factors. R: results for a second printed part with re-scaling factors applied before printing.

Recently, Riven introduced a new re-scaling tool that automatically rescales models for 3D printed parts so they more accurately match the as-intended CAD file scaling. This Wednesday the 9th at 1 pm EST, the company’s founder and CTO, James Page, will hold a live demonstration of Riven’s quick re-scaling tool, and how it can save iterations and budget with parts that fit right the first time. During the webinar, “Scale with Scaling Factors,” Page will demonstrate how fast the company’s re-scaling tool can achieve clear results without having to change your 3D printer, as well as how to properly use the Riven Propel scanner and Riven Cloud.

“Recognizing that all 3D printed parts shrink or warp during the printing process, Riven is introducing a new re-scaling tool that makes it easy to print parts more accurately. Riven’s software automatically computes re-scaling factors as compared to the original CAD. All processes, from FDM through metal 3D printing, can be made more accurate with quick 3D re-scaling. Unlike checking limited dimensions with calipers or a CMM, Riven uses a full part capture to compute an optimal solution based on the entire part shape to produce a more accurate result.”

You can register for the demonstration here, and receive Riven’s complete report on its new Scaling Factors feature.
