ADDMAN Unveils ADDCAAM™ Technology Plugin for REALvision Pro

In an exciting development for the additive manufacturing industry, ADDMAN has announced a partnership with Create it REAL to integrate its renowned ADDCAAM™ technology as a plugin for the advanced slicing software, REALvision Pro. This collaboration presents a significant opportunity to improve efficiency and product quality for manufacturers by making advanced slicing capabilities more accessible without sacrificing performance or usability.

Elevating 3D Printing Capabilities

The ADDCAAM technology is known for its ability to enhance the mechanical properties of 3D-printed parts through innovative solutions. Specifically designed to overcome the common challenges faced in traditional Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) methods, ADDCAAM aims to increase the strength of printed components while reducing porosity. By employing unique features such as InterLace and InterLocking InFill, this technology not only strengthens layer adhesion but also minimizes internal weaknesses typically found in 3D printed structures.

Mark Saberton, the CTO of ADDMAN, emphasized the importance of innovation in the additive manufacturing sector. He stated, "The additive manufacturing industry thrives on innovation, and we believe those innovations should be accessible to as many manufacturers as possible. With ADDCAAM, we took a foundational concept, advanced it through the combined expertise of our teams, and are now expanding its reach through REALvision Pro."

Realvision Pro, a cutting-edge slicing platform offered by Create it REAL, allows users to optimize their 3D printing processes by leveraging smart slicing strategies and expert insights. The addition of ADDCAAM to this platform signifies a transformative upgrade, enabling users to create parts that are robust and reliable, without extending production times.

Performance Beyond Standards

Benchmark tests indicate that components produced using ADDCAAM technology can achieve up to 70% greater strength and demonstrate a staggering reduction in porosity—by a factor of 100—compared to standard FDM prints. This groundbreaking performance is made possible by ADDCAAM's innovative approach to bead stacking and internal structure enhancement, which addresses the typical weaknesses found in traditional printing techniques.

Traditional FDM methods often experience issues such as weak polymer cross-linking, resulting in mechanical failures due to stress points and gaps within aligned beads. In contrast, ADDCAAM’s strategy of utilizing a non-coplanar bead stacking not only fosters interlocking layers but also locks internal features into the external walls. This results in a cohesive and load-bearing structure capable of withstanding demanding applications.

Industry Impact and Future Directions

The introduction of this plugin is set to make a significant impact on the industries that rely on 3D printing technology, especially in sectors like healthcare where advanced prosthetics and orthopedic solutions are imperative. As Create it REAL continues to innovate in sustainable production, the integration of ADDCAAM is a logical progression, aligning with both companies’ objectives to push the boundaries of 3D printing technology.

As Jeremie Pierre Gay, the Founder of Create it REAL, remarked, "Together with the ADDMAN team, we've refined ADDCAAM into one of the most powerful and advanced slicing tools available. We're now proud to take it beyond the walls of the ADDMAN RD lab and deliver this breakthrough in tool pathing technology to the global additive manufacturing community through REALvision Pro."

In conclusion, the partnership between ADDMAN and Create it REAL signals an exciting time for manufacturers seeking to enhance their 3D printing capabilities. With the ADDCAAM technology available via the REALvision Pro plugin, businesses can expect to see improved product quality and performance, setting new standards in the additive manufacturing landscape.
