What is ESPRIT Additive PBF?
A streamlined, end-to-end solution for PBF additive manufacturing process planning, including part build and finish operations.
End-to-End Solution for PBF Process Planning
ESPRIT Additive PBF offers a unique, patented workflow dedicated to part production. This workflow has three stages:
1 Prepare
Prepare your part in the Part-to-BuildTM module (orient, support, slice); save time by doing preparation just once.
2 Nest
Replicate your parts as many times as needed in the Job module, optimizing build time and machine utilization.
3 Finish
Program subtractive cycles to remove the support and finish your part, backed by ESPRIT’s complete CAM solution.
Prepare, nest, and finish in a single ESPRIT CAM environment.
Optimized Part-to-Build Workflow
- Saves time by eliminating the need to repeatedly define the manufacturing information
- Modular workflow enables highly efficient production manufacturing
- Traceability—each build can be traced back to the original 3D CAD file and manufacturing information
Single CAM Software
- End-to-end solution for PBF additive manufacturing in one environment, leveraging 35 years of ESPRIT innovation on toolpath planning
- Intelligently choose the surfaces on which to build supports, based on the subsequent surface finishing requirements
- Full process support, from CAD to machine file, backed by world-class technical support
Assisted Part Preparation
- Automatic support surface detection: Accurately create support surfaces based on a given orientation
- Assisted support creation: Intuitively generate support structures based on user-defined support parameters
- Feature type manager: Automatically assign exposure strategies in the Job module regarding feature types
Assisted Job Preparation
- Assisted nesting with highly accurate collision detection between multiple parametric models
- Patterned nesting with highly efficient duplication and repetition for the entire build preparation
- Assisted build order to automatically assign exposure strategies
Extensive Additive PBF Ecosystem
- Close collaboration with machine manufacturers, providing factory-certified machine files
- Partnership with world-leading additive research institutions, constantly creating cutting-edge technologies
- Dedicated to customer needs; continuously enhancing the product to suit your workflow
