2020 | Collaboration on simultaneous multi-axis additive technology

A single continuous production step is only one of the capabilities of the 5-axis machine.
Moduleworks also aims to prevent printing errors and more.

Insstek Inc. has integrated the Moduleworks additive manufacturing calculation core into its DMT (Direct Metal Tooling)
technology. The Moduleworks software enables Insstek to use the multi-axis traversing capabilities of its DMT machines
to provide a fully automated,cost-effective solution for simultaneous 5-axis additive manufacturing and repairing of
complex parts.

Delivered as a Rhino plugin, DMT with the integrated Moduleworks calculation core automatically generates a toolpath
that uses the 5-axis motion capabilities of the machine to enable the production of parts with highly complex geometries.
This means that these parts, e.g. guide vane rings, can be manufactured in a single, continuous production step.
The additive toolpaths are collision-free and can be optimised via user-defined parameters to reduce residual stresses
 in the material.
