The industry has long realized the potential of additive manufacturing technology in the production of complex parts, but there are still many challenges in expanding the scale of the technology.Recently, Hexagon partnered with Authentise to provide the first open end-to-end
software
The solution, the solution integrates the data intelligently into the workshop data, and coordinates the consistency from the concept to the quality of the parts.

The technical forces of both parties extend the control cycle of additive manufacturing (AM) from the machine level to the end-to-end value chain connecting design, manufacturing and quality control. This operation can enhance the predictability, repeatability and traceability of additive manufacturing.

Data from workshop production operations, engineering data from the design stage, and material performance and quality data from the verification and inspection process are the keys to automated serial production improvements and design improvements. However, the technical challenges of connecting these stored data and providing them have limited the continued development of new designs in the field of additive manufacturing. The new solution applies machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to statistical process control (SPC). In this way, waste can be reduced and quality problems can be solved from the design stage, and the repeatability of the additive manufacturing process in one place or the world can be improved.

Through the partnership, Hexagon and Authentise will digitize every step of the workflow from part design to production to final product and quality assurance to build solutions for the industrialization of AM technology, using their unique technical capabilities to connect the digital threads of parts and trace back. Its pedigree. This is because we are jointly committed to an open architecture that integrates data and automates workflows between Hexagon’s best AM applications and the applications that third-party device and software manufacturers choose to use.

Mathieu Pérennou, Global Business Development Director of Hexagon Smart Manufacturing Additive Manufacturing, said: “We are maintaining a high degree of cooperation with Authentise to build a new framework for customers to manage flexible and fully digital production in a private cloud environment. For manufacturers, additive manufacturing. Manufacturing is undoubtedly a complex and changeable market. There are many excellent tools, printers, and materials to choose from in the market. But we firmly believe that the open and flexible system we create can quickly respond to customer needs and integrate a unique environment for them This will connect the data flow and help optimize its workflow at all stages of the AM process (pre-production, in-production, and post-production) and support its specific
standard
Or regulatory compliance requirements.

Authentise is Hexagon’s key partner in building an open additive manufacturing ecosystem. Hexagon and Authentise have jointly developed an open manufacturing execution system for specific needs such as additive manufacturing methods.

This ever-improving ecosystem provides a series of solution combinations for additive manufacturing, enabling Hexagon to build solutions according to the specific needs of customers of different industries and any level of complexity-from the realization of high-volume production of precision metal gears to the first time Properly produce customized aerospace parts made of composite materials.

Authentise CEO Andre Wegner said: “We are very pleased to combine Hexagon’s solutions with our open workflow management engine to provide a unique end-to-end solution platform. The integration of Hexagon’s first-class software and sensor data helps In order to provide users with a seamless experience, automate the entire process, and unlock the ability to learn from data. This partnership represents a phased change in the industry Hexagon-we will jointly provide additive manufacturing customers with long-sought Integrated digital cable.”
