Outline Toolpath
Allows user to precisely control bead deposition on a wireframe geometry
Surface Outline Toolpath
Provides user with the ability to build thinwall parts on a surface geometry
Additive manufacturing is not just reversing machining toolpaths. APlus has toolpaths developed specifically to handle any geometry in additive manufacturing, as well as features and utilities designed to remove uncertainty out of the process and to improve efficiency.
Allows user to precisely control bead deposition on a wireframe geometry
Provides user with the ability to build thinwall parts on a surface geometry
Prioritizes the minimization of voids deep within the part while performing planar slice operations
Builds sections which cannot accommodate a full bead width while performing planar slice operations
Prioritizes surface finish by placing material along contours generated from the solid's boundaries while performing planar slice operations
Layers of material between the bottom of the part being built and the substrate . 'Scrap' layers can be used to allow clearance for the saw blade, end mill or EDM wire to cut the part off of the substrate
Can be programmed as part of Planar Slice, Surface Outline and Outline operations
Allows user to quickly program multi-axis bead deposition on geometry that is relatively flat in the tool plane
Allows user to program tool paths that deposit material with a constant distance between beads as measured on 3D surfaces while performing multiaxis operations
Allows user to program additive operations to build rotationally symmetric parts. Can be used to build parts on a cylindrical substrates, or to deposit material onto outer surface of parts
Application: Cladding of oil & gas components with high hardness alloys to increase the component's wear resistance
Allows user to program additive operations on rotationally symmetric substrates to add features on the surface of the substrate
Application: Adding threading to a drill, or lettering to the face of a roll dye
Estimate total build time, deposition time and build material required
Builds virtual model with the capability to view individual layer of the build - QUICKLY!
Merges multiple additive operations, which can have different process parameters by Z depth
Merge operations by number of layers (Coming Soon)
Builds virtual model with the capability to view individual layer of the build - QUICKLY!
