Quickly Prep Complex Models for 3D Printing with ANSYS SpaceClaim

Many engineers who work with 3D printers are frustrated with the geometry bottleneck they find themselves in preparing models for a successful print. Whether waiting for a CAD expert to fix a model, or struggling with the geometry themselves, more time is wasted prepping models than printing. With ANSYS SpaceClaim, engineers can quickly and easily import a model and prepare it for 3D printing, accelerating their 3D printing process and minimizing 3D printer downtime. In this 1 minute video, watch how easy it is to thicken your complex models with SpaceClaim with tools such as: Convert tool to automatically create a mesh from a solid model Take all mesh entities and reverse orientation Patch over holes when needed Thicken tool to add thickness to the inside or outside of any STL body A minimum thickness detection feature to check for areas falling below a tolerance limit Intersections correction tool to fix intersections after thickening If you want to learn more about how SpaceClaim can help you accelerate your time to print, check out our 3D printing solutions page: http://www.spaceclaim.com/en/Solutions/PrototypingandManufacturing/AdditiveManufacturingandRapidPrototyping.aspx
