The 4D_Additive software integrates the 3MF 3D printing format

A technological bridge between CAD data and additive manufacturing

4D_Additive printing software is the cutting-edge innovation bridge between CAD data and additive manufacturing. The tool reads and writes the updated 3MF data format. This open-source 3D printing format makes it possible to exchange, simply and without platform constraints, 3D models and production data for additive manufacturing, between different software, hardware and service providers.

Benefiting from CoreTechnologie's expertise in interoperability, 4D_Additive notably allows the reading and writing of all common 3D data formats and integrates automatic 3D nesting functions as well as high-precision slicing of models. Tessellated B-Rep CAD. The software was developed for professional use but also meets the requirements of experts and beginners thanks to a user-friendly, intuitive and ergonomic graphical interface.

High precision additive manufacturing

CoreTechnologie's software provides direct processing as well as correction and optimization of CAD models to ensure a continuous and automated workflow for all essential 3D printing processes. Armin Brüning, CEO of CT, says: "We are excited to be part of the 3MF consortium and bring the unique skills of 4D_Additive, especially in using B-Rep CAD models to the additive manufacturing process. The industry is ready to adopt this technology which brings accuracy and traceability to the current CAD standard, as well as manufacturing information such as 3D dimensions and tolerances."

The promising applications of this new technology are diverse and span the aerospace and automotive sectors to medical technology.
