Simulation Solutions

Simulating how your design will build can reduce manufacturing tryouts to reduce the time and money required to produce your part. results.

3D Systems’ simulation solutions are available for both additive and subtractive manufacturing and include:

  • 3DXpert-build-simulator-thumbnail

    3DXpert

    3DXpert’s build simulation tool offers users the ability to achieve a repeatable and accurate manufacturing process with minimal time and cost. By verifying designs, orientation and support structures prior to printing, as well as detecting possible printing defects and post-processing impacts, 3DXpert ensures quality builds and reduced tryouts to shorten the time to final model.

  • 3dsystems-cimatron-software-thumbnail

    Cimatron

    Cimatron is an integrated CAD/CAM solution tailored to the unique requirements of tooling for molds, dies and discrete parts. Cimatron allows users to view the cutting process and its results prior to machining to analyze remaining material around the part. Simulate the real machine kinematics and toolpath motion and check tool shanks and holders against the part with advanced simulation generated with the G-code. Predicting machine behavior with Cimatron enables errors to be identified and eliminated ahead of time.

  • 3d-systems-GibbsCAM-simulation

    GibbsCAM

    GibbsCAM is a full-featured CAM system that provides powerful CNC programming capabilities without sacrificing ease of use. Powerful toolpath simulation quickly and accurately displays single operations or complete programs for your CNC toolpath, and GibbsCAM can quickly display stock, part, tooling and fixtures to visualize tool movement and help identify errors early in the programming process. GibbsCAM machine simulation can render machines with unlimited axis and unlimited flows, which is especially helpful with complex CNC machines like multi-axis mill/turn machines.
