Fixes and Improvements

• (GW-20440) Fixed an issue where instances of part were printed at the same location as the original part.

 

Fixes and Improvements

• (GW-20413) Fixed an issue where the Z dip distance was not correct in the BFF file.

 

New Features and Improvements

Common

• Collision Check

  The Collision in the Quality Check command now has a Tolerance option, allowing you to check the collision with other parts with a custom tolerance.

SLA

• 3D Sprint PRO for SLA

  3D Sprint PRO available with 3D Sprint 2.12 offers the following advanced opportunities to users of SLA machines.

  • High Quality native CAD import

    You can now import Native CAD files from the industry’s leading CAD systems and apply high quality conversion and tessellation control when bringing into your 3D Sprint environment.

    The following native CAD file formats are now available in 3D Sprint PRO.

    File format	File extension	Version Supported
    ACIS Text/Binary (PRO)	.sat .sab	R1 - 2019 1.0
    CATIA V4 Files (PRO)	.model	4.1.9 - 4.2.4
    CATIA V5 Part/Assembly (PRO)	.CATpart, .CATproduct	V5 R8 to V5-6 R2019
    Creo (Pro/E) Part/Assembly (PRO)	.prt, .asm	16 - Creo 4.0
    Solidworks Part/Assembly (PRO)	.sldprt, .sldasm	98 - 2019
    VDA-FS (PRO)	.vda	1.0 - 2.0

  • Advanced Polygon editing and Repair

    You now have more control over polygon selection and deletion, as well as manual hole bridging, and filling with edge constraints fine tuning the continuity of the results.

  • Advanced Auto Placement

    3D Sprint PRO offers new controls over auto placement and the ability to save custom placement styles, so that arranging a platform can get even closer to one click.

  • Ability to fine tune SLA Supports

    • Advanced Empire Supports - Optimized support structures and preset profiles, can improve end part quality, increase build speeds, and provide incrementally new profit and material efficiency per part.

• 3D Sprint PRO for SLA with Early Model Machines

  3D Sprint PRO offers the advanced features to users of early model SLA machines. The following SLA printer models are now available in 3D Sprint PRO:

  • SLA 5000

  • SLA 7000

  • Viper

  • ViperHR

SLS

• Interlock Check

  The Interlocked/Enclosed Part option is now available for SLS printers in the Quality Check command. This allows you to check if the interlocked gap between parts is too small to prevent them from fusing together when printing.

Figure 4

• New Materials

  The following materials have newly been added for Figure 4 printers:

  • Flexible BLK (for FabPro 1000)

  • Med-AMB 10 (for Figure 4 Standalone and Figure 4 Modular)

  • Med-WHT 10 (for Figure 4 Standalone)

  • Tough BLK 20 (for Figure 4 Standalone and Figure 4 Modular)

  • PRO-BLK 10 (for Figure 4 Standalone and Figure 4 Modular)

  • FLEX-BLK 20 (for Figure 4 Standalone and Figure 4 Modular)

  • EGGSHELL-AMB 10 (for Figure 4 Standalone and Figure 4 Modular)

  • RUBBER-BLK 10 (for Figure 4 Standalone and Figure 4 Modular)

  • HI TEMP 300-AMB (for Figure 4 Standalone and Figure 4 Modular)

• New Build Styles

  Two new build styles, Fine and Heavy were added for Figure 4 jewelry material, JCAST-GRN 10. Heavy build style is used for thick jewelry bands starting at ~3.5mm band thickness or larger bulky decorative styles. Fine build style is used for finer jewelry and intricate features.

  • Improved surface quality on both styles.

  • Increased build speed by 60% on fine style.

  • Reduced support volume by 50% on fine style.

  • Improved support to part connection resulting in improved part surface finish on both.
