The German-French software developer Coretechnologie (CT) has introduced version 1.8 of its 4D_Additive 3D printing software. According to the company, the new Build History, automated repair of triangulated data and expanded lattice functions make the preparation of components for different additive manufacturing processes faster and more convenient. A key feature of 4D_Additive 1.8 is the new Build History Tree.

A more transparent route to the printed part

Based on the structure tree found in modern CAD systems, the Build History Tree provides a clear and traceable overview of all steps involved in preparing a build job. Each processing step is documented and can be accessed directly or sequentially, according to CT. Users can review and modify the parameters of individual processing steps at any time. This makes workflows easier to document, speeds up changes and reduces preparation times, particularly when modifications are required.

Users can import and process models either as exact CAD geometry or as triangulated data. For particularly fast data preparation, exact CAD geometry can be converted into triangulated models and subsequently optimised using the new automatic repair function. According to CT, 4D_Additive thus combines the precision of native CAD data with the high processing speed of triangulated model repair.

Faulty data can be automatically corrected

CT has also significantly expanded the software’s automated correction of triangulated models. The new Advanced Automatic Mode of the Healing tool automates a sequence of repair steps that previously had to be performed manually. According to the company, models with heavily corrupted or otherwise inadequate source data can be corrected largely automatically with a single click and prepared for subsequent build-job preparation.

This reduces manual intervention and accelerates the processing of external or poor-quality 3D data, CT explains. New so-called Stiffeners have also been added. These reinforcing structures stabilise thin-walled and large-area components during the manufacturing process and help prevent unwanted deformation. The lattice design can be adapted specifically to the component geometry and functional requirements, opening up additional possibilities for material savings and the development of functionally optimised lightweight components.
