Smart Software
AM is an incredibly advanced technology to master due to the various scales we must deal with, generating millions of vectors corresponding to miles of trajectories, at a speed of several meters per second, being drawn by a “pencil” having a diameter of a hair. Many components such as the platform, laser, air flow, for inerting conditions will have to work together to create the part as desired. To assure all these components are working in synergy, AddUp offers an end-to-end solution to its customers, with many flexibilities:
ADDUP MANAGER
Easy-to-use CAM software that can manage large 3D files with high resolutions levels and accurate production time estimates. AddUp Manager also provides access to advanced print and recoating strategies to improve surface finish.
NCORE
The brain behind the machine. NCore allows you to generate your own productions check lists, so that your staff will have everything before they can launch a production. It also gives a fully traceable dataset of the print generating pictures of after melting and recoating along with live access to a camera with remote control.
ADDUP DASHBOARDS
Based on Grafana, a fully customizable data visualization solution, AddUp Dashboards provides hands-on machine conditions. Create your own visualization sets, define variables you want to see and set your conditional alerts. Read and write administration can also be set to adjust different needs for different profiles.
RECOATING MONITORING
The Recoating Monitoring system prevents production stops from recoating. This solution, based on picture analyses, automatically detects flaws during production, including powder drops or lack of powder, for example. KPIs are also directly available in the AddUp Dashboards, so you can set up alerts.
MELTPOOL MONITORING
The Meltpool Monitoring system allows you to track spatial and temporal information including Power, IR, Positions, and laser status. There is real-time visualization of the production condition at micro-scale, with unique possibilities to improve process performance and track parts quality.
YOUR MACHINE. YOUR IP.
Thanks to the open approach of our software, our customers can develop complex parameterizations to meet their most demanding requirements.
Respect for our customers’ intellectual property created with AddUp solutions is at the heart of our concerns. That’s why AddUp guarantees total watertightness of information within the machine and requires no Internet connection or information sharing under production conditions.
For customers who so wish, AddUp offers a remote maintenance option based on high-level secure solutions.
