DP Technology Announces Support for Additive DED Manufacturing
DP Technology has released support for additive directed energy deposition (DED) manufacturing in its latest product update. ESPRIT’s additive DED cycles include additive simulation and verification, as well as global support from ESPRIT’s technical teams.
DP Technology, parent company of the ESPRIT computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system, has introduced support for additive directed energy deposition (DED) manufacturing in its latest product update. ESPRIT’s additive DED cycles include additive simulation and verification, as well as global support from ESPRIT’s technical teams.
ESPRIT’s additive capabilities include the same intuitive user interface that users expect from the software. The product release includes three-axis, four-axis, and five-axis DED support. Combined with the subtractive processes and embedded into a single software, DP Technology is said to bring a full spectrum of support to hybrid manufacturing.
“For more than a decade, we’ve been working on additive manufacturing, including research on DED toolpath trajectories and AM thermal simulation. ESPRIT’s additive DED solution is the result of the close collaboration between DP Technology and Grenoble University, the world’s leading research institution on additive DED technology,” says Frederic Vignat, head of the additive department at Grenoble University in France.
The new additive cycle offers users a full-spectrum additive solution, from CAD file to finished part.
