Create the Best Designs for 3D Printing

A great design for 3D printing usually starts with a CAD file, simulation result, or scanned data as input. To benefit from the possibilities that 3D printing offers, you need a flexible tool to make specific design modifications or enhancements, often at the mesh level. Whether you want to produce a functional automotive part, a lightweight aerospace part or fascinating shoes, our specialized software helps you optimize your designs with an unprecedented degree of freedom.
 

• Enjoy freedom of design, create a unique or customized object

• Control density with latticed, conformal and porous structures

• Save material, reduce printing time and decrease costs with lightweight designs

• Change aerodynamic, acoustic and cushioning properties or increase grip

• Avoid labor-intensive finishing steps with smart use of textures

• Gain foresight from the strong link with simulation packages

• Automate your design process or accelerate your iteration cycles, by scripting these flows using the 3-matic Python API

• Modify your design at mesh level

• Create textures, patterns and perforations

• Create latticed, conformal or porous structures

• Clean up rough topology optimization results for simulation (FEA) and printing

• Convert your mesh back to CAD
