The 3DPrinterOS company, which is responsible for the creation of the cloud service of the same name, announced a partnership with Siemens, Dassault Systèmes, Autodesk and Onshape. The new level of integration will allow users of the system to print directly from CAD-editors produced by these brands.
While amateur makers can always design and prepare a model for printing using a single computer, professionals often have to work at different stations and repeatedly exchange files between themselves and different systems before the virtual model is ready for production. The open system 3DPrinterOS aims to simplify the process by allowing employees of various enterprises to print their designs directly, thereby saving staff time and facilitating faster production of finished products.
“We believe that designers should be able to print and produce parts in no time. Designers play a central role in innovative development, and our mission is to help designers reach their potential. We strive to reduce design, production and distribution delays as much as possible, ”explains 3DPrinterOS CEO John Dogru.
To increase the versatility of the service, the company has entered into agreements with leading developers of CAD systems. The cloud operating system will be compatible with software such as Siemens SolidEdge, Dassault Systèmes' SolidWorks, and Autodesk's Fusion 360. Users will be able to access 3DPrinterOS directly using their favorite editor, without the need to export or transfer files.
The development of the new integrated solution took six months, but 3DPrinterOS is not going to stop there. “We continue to establish cooperation with other companies to provide users with a smooth CAD-modeling and 3D-printing process, as well as full integration into production systems,” explains Anton Vedeshin, CTO of 3DPrinterOS. "It takes half an hour to install and set up 3DPrinterOS, after which the system takes over the entire additive manufacturing process, reducing costs and providing users with a very easy-to-use, scalable platform."
The company's clients already include such industry giants as Ford and Cisco, as well as a number of leading universities, including Yale University, California Institute of Technology, Duke University and others.
