…reached yet another milestone for additive manufacturing: For the first time, CENIT reports that components can be printed directly from the CATIA V5 CAD system. This is made possible with the interface developed by CENIT. All process steps, including post-processing, can be mapped in CATIA V5. Now, exact data is available in CATIA V5 for removing the support structures during…
