Dyndrite Corporation unveiled its Additive Manufacturing Toolkit (AMT) and accelerated production preparation build processor for 3D printing. The company also announced the “Magic Amnesty Program,” a limited-time offer for premier metal and industrial plastic additive users.

Built upon the company’s Accelerated Computation Engine (ACE), a GPU-powered geometry kernel, AMT provides manufacturing-oriented features. Capabilities include native CAD file import for maximum quality of 3D-printed output, as well as an integrated Python application programming interface (API) for customizable scripting of interactive, automated workflows.

Dyndrite’s ACE geometry kernel and AMT build processor were designed from the ground up using a "First Principles" approach, leveraging modern methodologies and technologies to meet the requirements of production oriented customers in the aerospace, medical, automotive, energy and service bureau markets. Dyndrite enables users to manage terabytes of manufacturing data, print higher-order geometries such as splines and dynamically adjust parts in-situ to increase both throughput and quality. 

The Dyndrite architecture is a horizontal, scalable solution that provides a new foundation for software developers seeking to drive value across the varied and growing list of 3D printer manufacturers. Applications include improved Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), topology optimization, simulation, and other predictive printing technologies.

Users can expect the following capabilities:

  • multi-threaded CPU/GPU performance that reduces compute time from hours to seconds;
  • hybrid geometry kernel capable of hosting any geometry type without demoting to lower quality triangles;
  • ability to prepare files for any vector or raster 3D print process including direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), selective laser sintering (SLS), selective laser melting (SLM) and binder jetting;
  • ability to directly output spline data to devices that support it (currently in OEM testing);
  • ability to handle massive datasets beyond 225M STLs;
  • accelerated lattice and support generation; 
  • flexible part labeling while retaining original geometry;
  • streamlined user interface (UI) and user experience (UX);
  • Python interface for scripting workflow, including interactive applications; and
  • Ability to “Save as Python,” enabling non-technical, non-Python users to work in the GUI and easily produce Python code that can be “rerun” by anyone.

Dyndrite is focused on five key market segments: aerospace, automotive, energy, medical and service bureau. ACE and AMT are available for independent software vendor (ISV) or original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to white label. The company also works directly with OEMs to take advantage and extend the unique characteristics of their printer hardware. 

Companies can save money by taking advantage of the “Magic Amnesty Program,” the company says. For a limited time, if a company has purchased any other legacy build processor, Dyndrite will provide seats to match internal team users. The Magic Amnesty Program ends midnight on April 10, 2020.
