Perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of Verisurf software is that it runs “inside” of the Mastercam user interface. This offers a very comfortable "look and feel" to program not only your CNC machines but also inspection devices such as CMM’s, portable arms, and laser trackers. The Verisurf ANALYSIS module can import a nominal CAD model. Perhaps it was the exact model used to develop CNC toolpaths in Mastercam. The scan of the manufactured [...]
Spoiler alert! Cimquest has achieved great recognition in the industry as a result of a risky business transformation started 4-½ years ago as well as my talented team who at times believed in this transformation sometimes more than I even did. The achievements are: Cimquest was the #1 global partner for Desktop Metal Cimquest was the #2 global partner for CNC Software (Mastercam) Cimquest was the #1 global partner for Xact Metal So I am [...]
We recently partnered with CoreTechnologie in order to add a new Additive Manufacturing product to our line-up. In the words of our CEO, Rob Hassold, "CoreTechnologie (a 24-year-old software development company) has amazed me with the speed of development and innovation of the 4D Additive software solution, a relatively new product in the industry. They have created a world-class product for Additive Manufacturing in just the past several years that rivals much more costly solutions. [...]

A reprint from www.fabbaloo.com Lattice types [Source: Science Direct] A new research paper investigates the rather long list of applications for 3D printed lattices. Lattices are complex geometric structures that are sometimes referred to as “cellular”. This is because the geometry of the lattice is sometimes the space not occupied by “cells” inside of a volume. In traditional manufacturing, lattices are rarely used, except for foams. Foams are indeed a type of lattice, but [...]
Desktop Metal released a great lineup of 3D printers last year and we will recap some of those exciting new machines in weekly blog posts this month. Many of these new printers will also be showcased in our upcoming 3D Printing Online Seminar Series which will happen over the next couple of months. Please stay tuned for more details on that and in the meantime let's take a look at one of the new releases [...]
