3D Design Power
From free STL repair to AM production quality control
View Expert, free 3D model repair for 3D Printing
With DeskArtes Free View Expert you can view faceted models, report errors, create topology, repair STL automatically and free, remove self-intersections and edit triangles for 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing. Free View Expert offers professional mesh healing tools without any cost.
DeskArtes Free View Expert imports STL, 3MF, VRML, PLY, ZPR, DXF and 3DS file formats. Output formats include STL, 3MF, VRML, ZPR and PLY formats.
Professional AM features available by upgrading
If more advanced AM process control is required, Expert Series software suite offers an easy upgrade path to more advanced modules: Dimensions Expert, 3Data Expert Lite and 3Data Expert. These modules contain both manual and automatic repair, surface triangulation, model splitting and connecting, hollowing and drain hole, supports, 3D nesting, 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.
Also, you can purchase 3D CAD import modules to triangulate and auto-repair 3D surface models for 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing applications. 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.
Program upgrade path for AM
For all the Expert Series programs you can get a 15-day evaluation lisense. To order an evaluation license select "Help->Licenses" menu command in the program and then click "Send license request by email" button.
All prices in the table are for permanent, single workstation standalone licenses and are listed in euros (€). Optional annual maintenance is 20% of the list price. Network licensing is available at additional cost. The DeskArtes tools give you an unbeatable price/performance ratio compared with annually licensed products.
