Desktop Metal Launches Additive Manufacturing 2.0 End-to-End Software Hub – Metrology and Quality News

Desktop Metal, a leader in additive manufacturing technologies for mass production, has announced the launch of Live Suite — a package of premium software applications with all-new functionality for users of the company’s Additive Manufacturing 2.0 systems across Team DM brands.

Building on the success of the company’s Live Sinter simulation software, Live Suite enables users to make their digital design data come alive easily and accurately in 3D printed metal, polymer, and ceramic parts. Live Sinter uses an advanced multi-physics approach based on state-of-the art GPUs to simulate the end-to-end printing and sintering process — generating new design shapes that will deliver the desired final part within tight tolerances. Furthermore, Live Sinter applies state of the art machine learning to calibrate this simulation process to match real-world results for the world’s largest install base of binder jet systems.

“AM 2.0 is a digital manufacturing process that is ultimately powered by software, and we believe Live Suite offers the most intuitive and powerful AM software on the market,” Ric Fulop, founder and CEO at Desktop Metal. “Our global software development team spent six years creating Live Suite. This suite makes AM technology simple to use and delivers high quality results through intelligent methods. As a result, the high level of success that users of our binder jet and DLP technology experience today is simply unmatched.”

“Live Suite will come standard with most new hardware this year, and it eliminates the need for users to purchase other expensive 3D printing software programs to use their equipment. “Our strategy remains focused on keeping digital manufacturing accessible, so our users have the tools they want and don’t pay for expensive features they don’t need,” Fulop has been added.

Desktop Metal Suite –

Live Platform, the new cloud-based hub that houses all Live Suite apps and services, is now available. Organized into four content categories — build, manage, learn, and support — the hub enables users to manage their entire workflow in one convenient location with 2FA security.

Live Platform is the new central administrative hub for Live Suite. It allows you to create and manage Desktop Metal 3D printer systems and users. You can also access firmware updates, knowledge and technical support. The new Business Units feature allows large companies with multiple users or departments to manage permissions and controls for 3D printers.

Live Platform will allow customers to add on many application-specific options such as part serialization and optimized build instructions for certain parts, from valves to dentures. Autopilot automates dental and other part-specific build preparations. Live Monitor will also soon be available for remote viewing.

Live Suite offers the following powerful tools.

Live: This tool is a favorite among Desktop Metal Shop System users, as well as X-Series, Production System, and metal printers. This premium application makes it easy to produce sintered metal parts using binder jetting. It uses powerful, generative AI multiphysics sintering simulations and new scan-based adjustments. These allow for parts with tight tolerances. This software generates sinter-ready printable designs in just 20 minutes.

Live Build MFG is a desktop-based build preparation software that replaces and upgrades Desktop Metal’s Fabricate MFG application. Live Build MFG can be used to prepare for binder jet 3D printing metal, wood and ceramic. ExOne X-Prep customers and other similar tools will be phased in to Live Build MFG within the next 12 months.

Live Build DLP Desktop-based build prep software for customers using Desktop Health or ETEC digital light processing printers (DLP) for photopolymer. Envision One RP customers and others similar tools will be transitioned to Live Build DLP in the coming 12 months.

Live Studio: Cloud-based software for building preparation that replaces or upgrades Fabricate. Live Studio supports slicing and build preparation for Desktop Metal’s Bound Metal Deposition systems, including the Studio System 2.
