ADK Additive CAM HUB

Some Say Build Prep 2.0.
We simply call it Additive CAM.

The additive user is maturing. It’s time we moved to Build Prep 2.0 or Additive CAM. Whether at the early stages of machine development or an established vendor, let Dyndrite help you solve your software needs immediately and get users printing successfully, as quickly as possible.

Build preparation, also known as CAD-to-print, is the process of preparing 3D geometry for print.

Build prep is core to your printer’s story. The quicker users can print, the faster they see value in your machine and materials. Build prep is a requirement of additive manufacturing and a required software deliverable for any machine maker who cares about their customers’ experience. Whether delivering a new process or improving on an existing one, the build preparation tool that accompanies your machine is a direct reflection of your product value and brand.

For end users, the last 30 years have meant pushing build prep tools beyond their initial rapid prototyping use case. Today users yearn for a tool purpose-built to handle the requirements for repeatable final part production. They need Additive CAM.

Dyndrite goes beyond build prep, providing Additive CAM tools that deliver the features and capabilities necessary to produce better final parts that scale to production lines.

The Dyndrite ADK enables you to create robust Additive CAM applications, while satisfying your build prep needs. Dyndrite provides a springboard for continued innovation, customization, and deployment options.

  • without the need for large software teams
  • without having to reveal your IP
  • without needing to reinvent the wheel ie. common systems as import, slicing or supports
  • without compromising performance or user experience
  • without having to settle for cumbersome, difficult or complicated user interfaces
  • without having to settle for off-the-shelf build prep software

Develop an Additive CAM App that satisfies your build prep needs, including:

  • Importing native CAD or STL geometry
  • Positioning parts (translation, rotation, patterning, nesting)
  • Setting regions and support
  • Defining machine and material parameters
  • Slicing and sending data to the machine, including: (Grayscale, RGB, PNG, BMP, TIFF Image outputs)
  • Fast 3D visualization and part manipulation
  • Large multi-gigabyte files
  • Thousands of parts
Key Features

Put Powerful Additive Software in
Your Users’ Hands

The Dyndrite ADK leverages the ground-breaking Dyndrite engine and comes with everything out of the box for developing a build prep application. Save valuable time and money by easily designing bespoke tools to match your machine’s process workflow or incorporating your value-add on top of what the kit already provides.

STEP, Solidworks, STL, Hairball with 2.5M Triangles
Importing the part

Satisfy the most use cases by supporting the widest variety of file formats. The Dyndrite ADK does this and more, including:

  • Allowing you to work with multiple geometric representations and file types (native CAD/BREP, STLs etc.) at the same time
  • Handle massive multi-gigabyte STL files featuring billions of triangles on your local computer
  • Ability to use CAD-based color metadata to automate the build prep process, including specifying support types, orientation,  and label placement.
Positioning the part 

Direct part placement either manually, or programmatically.

  • Translation/Rotation/Scale
  • Nesting and Patterning
  • Orientation optimization
  • Handle 100s and 1000s of parts on a build with ease
  • Our dynamic rendering modes enable interactivity regardless of part complexity or part count, ensuring your workflow remains continuous
~1000 parts: Gears, Medical Implants, Turbines, Filters, Clips
Ribbon, Column with Raft, Tree, Truss, Extrude Supports
Defining regions and adding supports
  • Regions: (Surfaces you want to put supports on) defined by:
  • Angles
  • Colors
  • Manual selection
  • Support Types
  • Column
  • Tree
  • Truss
  • Extrude/solid
  • Ribbon
  • Cone
  • Special Operations: Shelling, Exterior Fill, Cradles/Rafts
Setting machine parameters & slicing to send data to the machine
  • Machine settings: pixels/DPI, machine dimensions, image output type
  • Slice to PNG/BMP/TIFF or customize output with post process
  • Monochrome, grayscale, and RGB images output
  • Anisotropic compensation
  • Jetting
  • Photopolymerization
Machine parameters controlling gray scale at 1200dpi
