Live Inspect

Analysis and automatic scan adjustment solution

Live Inspect analyzes features on a scan, provides GD&T-style tolerance analysis, and then automatically scan-adjust the green part at the feature level.

REDUCE SCRAP BY PRODUCING ACCURATE 3D PRINTED PARTS

Part of Desktop Metal’s Live Suite package of software programs that seamlessly manage 3D printers, accessories, and processes, Live Inspect was developed as a tool to analyze features on a scan, provide geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) style tolerance analysis, and then automatically scan-adjust the green part at the feature level.

Live Inspect can correct for any type of AM defect across TeamDM systems and other 3D printing platforms. It’s not just a solution for powder metal shrinkage and distortion due to density variations, gravity, and friction during sintering, but can also aid in the manufacturing of polymer parts that experience warping due to curing and thermal effects or sandcasting cores swelling due to microwave curing.

LIVE SINTER™

Live Inspect is available as a stand-alone solution or an added feature to Live Sinter, Desktop Metal’s powerful, multi-physics simulation software to predict and correct for errors when sintering.

Rather than printing a part straight to have it warp out of spec, Live Sinter prints a negative offset that will sinter to meet dimensional tolerances. It helps manufacturers not only reduce costs, but enable sintering to be successfully applied to a wider range of applications. 

LIVE SUITE™

Desktop Metal’s software solutions connects you with the lifeblood of your digital manufacturing systems - data - in new ways that simplify and deliver value. 

Live Suite is a package of powerful programs that seamlessly manage 3D printers, accessories, and processes across Team DM platforms to make customers’ digital design data come alive when 3D printed in metal, polymer, and ceramics.
