Aachen, Germany – [18.11.2024] – AixPath is excited to announce that its cutting-edge Machine Control Software for 3D printers, MCSW, now fully supports Hexagon ‘s cliX file specification. This integration provides 3D printer OEMs with a robust, flexible solution that ensures compatibility with a wide range of additive manufacturing systems, in particular with laser powder bed fusion L-PBF machines. The integration of cliX build job specifications into MCSW significantly enhances interoperability between CAD design and the AM process, offering streamlined build preparation and machine control. By leveraging this feature, OEMs can expedite time-to-market and will be able to offer their customers improved reliability and precision in 3D printing workflows.
The integration of cliX with MCSW enables customers to fully utilize Hexagon Additive Manufacturing Suite, which includes DESIGNER CAD for creating complex geometries, AM STUDIO for build preparation, Simufact Additive for simulation and process validation, and ESPRIT EDGE for post-print machining. Through an integrated operation of AixPath MCSW and Hexagon Additive Manufacturing Suite the operators of AM systems achieve an advanced quote-to-delivery solution, ensuring an efficient management of entire additive manufacturing lifecycle.
“Our collaboration with Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division to incorporate cliX reflects our commitment to providing cutting-edge, adaptable solutions that meet the evolving requirements of the additive manufacturing market,” said Dr. Riaz Ur Rehman, CEO of AixPath.
Dr. Daniel Stadlmayr, Senior Product Manager Additive Suite at Hexagon also shared his thoughts: “With the adoption of cliX by AixPath’s MCSW, we are empowering 3D printer OEMs to seamlessly integrate our Additive Manufacturing Suite into their customer’s workflows. This advancement enhances the synergy between design, simulation, and manufacturing, making the entire process more efficient, reliable, and capable of delivering higher-quality parts.”
