ESPRIT CAM, developers of computer-aided manufacturing software for a variety of CNC machines, has deepened its existing partnership with France’s Technical Centre for Mechanical Industry (CETIM) to include additive manufacturing. ESPRIT supports both direct energy deposition (DED) and powder bed fusion (PBF) with products that have been tested and validated by industrial partners. In 2020, […]
Easier programming for robot additive Direct Energy Deposition
ESPRIT, a CAM software provider for CNC programming, optimization, and simulation, announces a partnership with Alma, a CAD/CAM provider for robotics, to create a complete programming solution for robot additive DED (direct energy deposition). The additive DED process creates parts by melting and fusing material as it is deposited. Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), also […]
CAM software supports DED additive manufacturing
As one of the main additive manufacturing processes, directed energy deposition (DED) uses a focused energy source, such as a laser or electron beam, to melt the build material. The ability to control the grain structure of a part makes DED a good solution for the repair of functional metal parts. For example, DED is […]
Software supports powder bed fusion additive manufacturing
DP Technology, the parent company of the ESPRIT CAM system, is enhancing its support of additive manufacturing processes with new software specifically for the powder bed fusion market. Called ESPRIT Additive for Powder Bed, the program comes as an add-in application for SolidWorks. ESPRIT Additive for Powder Bed Fusion is compatible with any file supported […]
