German-French software developer www.coretechnologie.com CoreTechnologie has developed a tailored version of its 3-D printing software specifically for the requirements of UK-based Photocentric 3-D printing machines and processes. In future, the software will be supplied with the latters 3-D printers.

The cooperation of the two established and successful companies is based on the fast, customer-oriented implementation of new ideas and production methods as well as on a broad customer base.

The CoreTechnologie 3-D printing software is directly connected to the Photocentric 3-D printers via an API interface, so that all common CAD formats as well as STL models are seamlessly sent from the 3-D software package to the Photocentric printers.

A new, unique module to create support structures has been developed specifically for the Photocentric machines and for the SLA process, which is easy to use and enables a high level of automation. In addition, the user can modify the support structures and quickly adapt them to specific requirements.

In combination with the Photocentric machines, which can create particularly fine surface structures, the innovative texture module of the CoreTechnologie software delivers impressive results. Users choose from 5,000 predefined textures or apply their own patterns to 3-D models to create revolutionary component designs in high quality and resolution.

With its wide range of functions for analysis and data preparation as well as enormously fast multi-processing, the powerful software solution enables the application of logos, textures and customised surfaces.

The recent collaboration between Photocentric and CoreTechnologie brings together two global leaders of the hardware and software world to provide new solutions for LC Magna users in terms of technology, innovation and market presence in additive manufacturing.
