AixPath GmbH has collaborated with EOS GmbH, Germany, to offer an integrated AM-planning environment and build processor for EOS metal AM machines.

The developed plugin provides a well-established, integrated data preparation suite in Siemens NX capable of communicating directly with EOS machines inside the ethernet-based machine network. Within Siemens NX CAD-data for a build job is prepared directly transferred to the EOS build processor. Combined with a broad set of simulations options available inside Siemens NX and a user-centered workflow the integrated plugin supports the user and operator interactively on the way to succeeding in ‘First Time Right’ from CAD to part.

AixPath delivers an Additive Manufacturing software solution based on EOSPRINT software form EOS GmbH that enables a continuous workflow within one single PLM software environment. Import and export of geometry data is no longer necessary.

This customer-oriented approach supplies a long existing demand for an integrated solution that enable a seamless CAD to print workflow, integrating EOSPRINT with the proven EOS exposure strategies directly into Siemens NX.
