Closing the loop between design and 3D printers

摘要

Siemens and Materialise have come together to offer something that integrates the former's NX software with the latter's additive manufacturing technology. This alms to streamline product design by linking Siemens' NX CAD software with Materialise's suite of 3D-printed offerings. According to the companies, the new approach will eliminate data translation and conversions, as well as ensure that changes to digital product design models are automatically and associatively reflected in the 3D-print jobs.
