Slice-based

operations • Postpone the

calculation of the full structure to the slicing step of the build processor

Sinter-module

• Reduce powder

• Optimize builds

SG

• Support Generation

• Reduce data preparation, build and finishing time

Tree Supports

• Generate tree support for any part

SG+

• Support Generation for Metal Applications

Structures

• Reduce weight and materials

• Lower powder consumption

Import

• Import nearly all standard CAD formats
