Trinkle Additive App Suite Features Collection of Accessible, Intuitive Design Apps

Trinckle, a Berlin-based software company, has beta launched its Additive App Suite, which is a gateway platform with design apps developed to speed up the adoption of industrial 3D printing applications. Building on the success of the company’s fixturemate — a user-friendly design app for creating fixtures — the Additive App Suite now includes three new apps with more to come.

Developed for creators, engineers and AM users, the app offers one centralized space to easily explore, design and adopt 3D printing solutions for their company. The app is designed to enable anyone to design without the need for CAD expertise. Users can also discover innovative industrial AM use cases, accelerate AM adoption across various departments and boost design workflow speed up to 92%.  

“Fixturemate has made designing manufacturing aids easier and faster, and it’s been amazing to see so many companies profit from it,” says Florian Reichle, Trinkle CEO. “Inspired by the impact of fixturemate, our customers keep coming to us with new ideas and requests, and we’ve taken all that feedback to create the Additive App Suite.”

According to the company, this platform provides a trusted set of 3D printing design apps to inspire and speed up the adoption of AM within companies. “We’re inviting industrial companies to join us on this journey to shape the future of additive manufacturing,” Reichle says. “We don’t want Additive App Suite to be just a product — but a place to inspire, explore and realize the endless possibilities of AM.”

The first three apps include the Robotic Finger app, Tray and Shadow Board App, and the Workpiece Creator App. Trinckle is now accepting applications for the beta program in which selected users can get an early look at the platform and try out the first three apps:

• The Robotic Finger App enables users to create custom 3D-printed fingers to give robotic arms the ability to handle delicate or irregular objects with precision, perfect for versatile industrial tasks.
• The Tray and Shadow Board App features shadow boards that keep hand tools organized in designated cutouts for easy access and reduced misplacement, while custom carrier trays provide an upgrade in terms of accuracy and safety while storing and transporting goods in internal logistics.
• The Workpiece Creator App quickly creates 3D models of users’ tools and workpieces using an intuitive drag-and-drop tool. This is particularly well suited for users who don’t have a digital model for the workpiece.

Trinckle is inviting industrial users to collaborate to expand the Additive App Suite with new apps.
