Error correction for 3D-printed components
Desktop Metal launched Live Inspect for analyzing and correcting errors in 3D-printed parts. Live Inspect allows manufacturers to dial in accuracy and 3D print parts with higher tolerances. The software analyzes features such as holes, slots, and planar surfaces and provides tolerance analysis according to standard geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) norms and practices. Live Inspect then automatically applies feature-level scan adjustments that correct for deviations identified by the tolerance-based scan analysis.
For users of Team DM binder jetting platforms, Live Inspect enhances the capabilities of Live Sinter, Desktop Metal’s sintering simulation and compensation software. Live Inspect can also aid in manufacturing polymer parts that warp due to curing and thermal effects or sandcasting cores swelling due to microwave curing. The software will be available as an added feature bundled with Live Sinter for metal binder jetting operators as well as a stand-alone option for users of other platforms and additive technologies.
