Materialise will provide customized software for Dutch metal 3D printing companies

In order to solve the problem of separation of software and hardware of 3D printing equipment, the well-known Belgian 3D printing service provider Materialise has developed a unique customized construction processor software. It can serve as a bridge between 3D software and a variety of 3D printers. With this software, they have established good relationships with many 3D printer manufacturers. Now, a new member has been added to the list of partners, which is Additive Industries from the Netherlands.
The young Dutch company, which specializes in metal 3D printing for industrial applications, will soon launch its newest integrated metal 3D printing system, the MetalFAB1. The system will debut at the FormNext exhibition in Frankfurt on November 17-20, 2015.


According to China's 3D printer network, MetalFAB1 is known as "redefined the metal 3D printing industry", which has the following characteristics:
· Equipped with an automatic construction platform for operation · Real-time heat treatment · Controllable spray coating · Laser powder bed melting technology · With multiple lasers


Additive Industries' business spans aerospace, medical and high-tech equipment. Their MetalFAB1 combines multiple processes to enable an integrated process that is safe to operate and significantly reduces labor. Its fully automated operating system greatly enhances product consistency and quality, and the modular structure allows simultaneous printing of multiple materials without the need to worry about cross-contamination and cleaning of the powder bed system from time to time. In addition, it has good handling and flexibility, users can choose basic and extended as needed.


The company's partnership with Materialise will bring a customized new version of its build processor software to its MetalFAB1. The software will bring many benefits, such as improving the operability of the device, simplifying the 3D printing process, enhancing data transfer, and providing users with a clear overview of the print job.
