Professional Additive Manufacturing software features

DeskArtes Expert Series software suite offers an easy to use and a complete set of software tools for professional Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing. The software functions include manual and automatic repair, surface triangulation, model splitting and connecting, hollowing and drain hole, solidify, AM support generation, 3D nesting, STL slicing, Z compensation, boolean, texture and paint, production documentation for PDM, quality control and cost calculation, and many more commands for preparing 3D models for professional Additive Manufacturing. With Expert Series you will have full control of your 3D data through the whole AM process.

DeskArtes Expert Series is a modular software suite with several software modules: View Expert, Dimensions Expert, 3Data Expert Lite, 3DEdit Pro and 3Data Expert. Each module contains just the functions needed for your AM or 3D Printing application and always with the correct price.

Each DeskArtes Expert Series module inputs major faceted formats for AM and 3D Printing, like STL, 3MF, VRML, PLY, ZPR and 3DS formats. Also, various 3D CAD import modules allow you to receive 3D models from any 3D CAD system. Import translators include IGES, VDA-FS, STEP, CATIA 4/5/6, CATIA CGR, NX Unigraphics, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Inventor, JT, Parasolid and Creo/ProE formats. Conversion keeps original model colors for 3D Color Printing and generates optimized triangulation for AM applications.
