Meltio has introduced what it says is a ‘big leap’ in direction of facilitating using its wire-laser steel 3D printing options, the Meltio House software program. Meltio House is a toolpath generator software program for the Meltio Engine Robotic Integration with an ‘easy-to-use’ interface for planar, non-planar, and variable extrusion toolpaths.
The software program additionally contains 2-axis workpiece positioner interpolation, kinematics simulation, collisions examine, and cell configuration.
The Spanish firm says thew new slicer is an ‘revolutionary’ addition to its product lineup, providing a ‘new perspective’ on 3D printing by transferring away from conventional 3-axis programs. The corporate says the software program expands on the chances of its 3D printing expertise by incorporating superior robotic manipulation capabilities.
Meltio says the software program is particularly developed to speed up the adoption of its 3D printing and ‘revolutionises’ the sphere of robotic AM. The corporate says that customers can shortly adapt to and leverage the advantages of robotic additive manufacturing with out requiring experience in robotics or programming.
Meltio says that with the combination of the 6-axis robotic manipulator and 2-axis workpiece positioners, it opens up a ‘entire new realm’ of potentialities for steel 3D printing.
Meltio Engine Product Supervisor Alejandro Nieto stated: “Meltio House makes it attainable to design very dependable components as shortly as attainable with a wider vary of potentialities for our industrial clients. And that is due to a really user-friendly interface of the Meltio Engine Robotic Integration. Meltio House additionally contains preset and advisable materials profiles and 3D printing parameters and a sequence of particular processors for robotic arms from ABB, Kuka, Fanuc, and Yaskawa together with collision detection, and simulation.
“The principle purpose of our expertise is to provide essentially the most environment friendly instrument that enables the trade the many of the purposes they should manufacture steel components with our wire-laser expertise. Meltio House is a dwelling platform that may present suggestions to maintain enhancing and presents aggressive software program to completely different industrial clients of Meltio.”
Meltio House employs a digital mannequin of the actual robotic motion, a function which permits customers to simulate the kinematics of the robotic. Meltio says this ensures correct and exact 3D printing. The slicer additionally performs collision checks with the half being printed, minimising the chance of errors or harm throughout the 3D printing course of.
