HP Announces New 3D Printing Software Powered by Dyndrite, New TPA Powder with Evonik https://ift.tt/2HNzZE6 This summer, Seattle-based additive manufacturing hardware and software solutions provider Dyndrite and HP decided to join forces to license Dyndrite’s geometric kernel technology in order to power next-generation cloud and edge-based digital manufacturing solutions. The goal was for HP, the founding member of the Dyndrite Developer Council, to create a software platform that could power AM factories of the future. This week, the two companies announced the first commercial application built on Dyndrite’s core Accelerated Geometry Engine: HP’s Universal Build Manager Powered by Dyndrite, an advanced AM software solution.
As a solution for delivering CAD-to-print workflows for additive, the new Universal Build Manager Powered by Dyndrite will work to bring automation, improved performance, and scalability to the AM industry. It includes strong build preparation tools, such as support generation, slicing, patterning, nesting, labeling, and CAD import. According to a Dyndrite press release, it’s an OEM- and process-agnostic tool, as well as the first GPU-accelerated AM Build Prep and Management solution in the industry. Dyndrite’s plug-in architecture helps to protect important IP, and HP’s Universal Build Manager Powered by Dyndrite offers a process- or machine-specific plugin infrastructure, so 3rd party software and hardware developers don’t miss out.
This solution supports several different production-grade AM technologies: Binder Jetting, Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Powder Bed Fusion/DMLS, Selective Heat Sintering (SHS), Electron Beam Melting (EBM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Fused deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), Digital Light Projection (DLP), Laminated Object manufacturing (LOM), Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM), and, of course, HP’s Multi Jet Fusion. Because it’s powered by Dyndrite, the software leverages its Engine for integrated Python scripting APIs for automation and workflow integration, and also uses NVIDIA Enterprise GPUs for computation acceleration. This will, according to HP, allow for personalization and end-to-end control.

HP has even more news to share—together with its long-time partner, chemical company Evonik, it has developed a new co-branded elastomer, which has been optimized for HP’s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology and will be sold exclusively through HP. This new specialty powder is a flexible, high-performance 3D printing material based on a thermoplastic amide grade (TPA), and will be presented virtually at formnext connect, November 10-12th.
The newly released thermoplastic elastomer is a lightweight-construction material with a Shore A hardness of 91 and a very low density of 1.01 g/cm³. According to Evonik, TPA has high fatigue resistance and durability, and is well-suited for prototypes, and even functional end-use products, that require high energy return and extensibility, like automobile components, sporting equipment, end-of-arm tooling, and ducting and bellows. Additionally, it’s a perfect match for efficiently creating high-quality parts on HP’s Jet Fusion 4200 3D printers.
Several Evonik customers, such as GoProto, a rapid manufacturing company that specializes in quick-turn, on-demand, custom manufacturing, have already put Evonik and HP’s new TPA to the test.
Enabled by the new elastomeric TPA, GoProto has just introduced 3DElastoPrint, a 3D printing parts service that makes rubber-like parts for customers that traditional manufacturing methods would not be able to achieve.
