New Software Improves FDM Prototyping.Significantly faster model building and material savings are claimed for new software that provides improved control over toolpath and model-support creation for fused-deposition modeling (FDM (1) (Fused Deposition Modeling) See 3D printing. (2) (Frequency Division Multiplexing) Transmitting multiple data signals simultaneously over a single wire by using multiple carriers, each having a unique center frequency. ) systems from Stratasys, Inc., Minneapolis. Its new Insight software replaces the QuickSlice software that has been standard on its FDM systems since 1993. A new "packing" function lets users build several small models at once, saving time by making better use of the machine's available build envelope. Also new is remote-notification capability via e-mail or pager to tell users when a job is completed or interrupted. The Modeler Status feature reports elapsed time e·lapsed time n. The measured duration of an event. Noun 1. elapsed time - the time that elapses while some event is occurring , time remaining, and amount of material used while the job is running. Insight is based on Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. and runs on networks, so that users can send jobs to FDM modelers or manage the job queue The lineup of programs ready to be executed. from any workstation on a network. |
