2017
A methodology is described herein for representing anatomical imaging data within crystals. We create scaled three-dimensional models of biomedical imaging data for use in Sub-Surface Laser Engraving (SSLE) of crystal glass. This tool offers a useful complement to computational display or three-dimensionally printed models used within clinical or educational settings.
FAQs
Netfabb links part preparation with downstream manufacturing decisions by processing both CAD and mesh data. That connection lets engineers examine whether a digital part is suitable for a selected additive workflow before committing to fabrication. Instead of treating geometry correction, build planning, and analysis as separate tasks, the software supports a connected sequence in which earlier design and preparation choices inform later production decisions.
Geometry defects can undermine print preparation, so Netfabb identifies problems such as gaps and intersecting facets and supports their repair. These checks matter because a digital model must represent a usable part boundary before engineers can reliably orient it, add supports, arrange a build, or generate machine-ready toolpaths. Repair therefore functions as a quality-control step, not merely cosmetic editing.
Orientation, support generation, and build arrangement influence how a component is prepared for fabrication. Autodesk Netfabb brings these decisions together with simulation capabilities that assess additive-manufacturing behavior before printing. Engineers can therefore compare preparation choices in relation to expected process behavior, helping them evaluate complex components earlier and reduce the likelihood that unsuitable planning reaches the machine.
A practical workflow begins with importing or processing CAD or mesh geometry, followed by checking and repairing defects. Engineers then orient parts, generate supports, and arrange the build before preparing toolpaths for the target machine. Where appropriate, simulation is used before fabrication to assess behavior. This sequence connects model quality, build planning, and machine preparation in one engineering workflow.
The platform is relevant to both metal and polymer additive manufacturing, allowing the same general preparation logic to support different material contexts. Engineers may apply it to prototypes, customized components, and production-scale workflows. Its value is especially apparent when parts are geometrically complex or when fabrication errors and material consumption must be considered during planning.
Netfabb can support engineering decisions at several scales, from correcting an individual part file to organizing a production build. The resulting information includes repaired geometry, planned orientation, support structures, build arrangement, toolpaths, and simulation-based assessment of additive behavior. Together, these outputs help teams improve printability, reduce material use, and evaluate components before fabrication.
