Tetrahedral lattices are essential when generating 3D printed master patterns for investment casting. The geometry ensures part stability, isotropic security, structural integrity, and sufficient material drainage. The increased triangle count within the file can slow the rendering performance in the software application, resulting in longer processing (slicing) times. High density lattice geometries, can also result in longer scanning times which can also impact the build duration.
Together with Materialise, we’ve developed a new build processor software solution tailored for the Neo SLA 3D printer to improve the user experience, and to streamline the workflow. Seamlessly integrated with Materialise's Lattice module and e-Stage for Resin module, this build processor speeds up file preparation for investment casting master pattern geometries in Materialise Magics, dramatically reducing processing time without sacrificing final part quality.
Up to 50%* Faster File Processing Speeds: The dedicated build processor for the Neo printer optimizes the file preparation, reducing the manual steps of the operator which mitigates human error. The build processor can increases workflow efficiencies. The user can queue up multiple builds leaving the build processor to efficiently manage slicing and support generation.
Up to 30%* Faster Build Speeds: Enhanced scanning techniques combined with the new Variable Layer Thickness feature accelerates part production. Critical areas of the file are assigned minimal layer thickness for superior part quality, while less critical sections are processed with increased layer thickness for faster file creation without compromising overall part integrity.
Seamless Neo SLA Build Prep Workflow: Specifically developed for the Neo platform, the software seamlessly integrates with Neo's Titanium software for enhanced user experience. The user has full control of part parameters with custom zones, and easy navigation with slice viewer. Our high-speed and quality build modes have optimized scan styles to suit your application.
Best-in-Class Part Quality and Stability: Combining Somos WaterShed AF resin, Neo SLA technology, and advanced Materialise software with variable layer thickness feature, produce highly accurate 3D printed master patterns requiring minimal finishing. This streamlined process yields exceptional metal castings in record time.
