Hello Additive has announced the release of its groundbreaking Dragon Software, designed to revolutionize the additive manufacturing industry. Dragon Software offers advanced capabilities for optimizing the 3D printing process, providing manufacturers with unprecedented control, precision, and efficiency. Hello Additive is a leading innovator in the field of additive manufacturing, committed to developing cutting-edge software and solutions that enhance the efficiency and capabilities of 3D printing technologies.

Innovative Features for Superior Performance

Dragon Software integrates state-of-the-art algorithms and machine learning to streamline the design-to-production workflow. Key features include:

Intelligent Design Optimization: The software’s AI-driven design tools enable users to automatically optimize part geometries for strength, weight reduction, and material efficiency. This results in components that are not only lighter and stronger but also more cost-effective to produce.

Seamless Process Integration: Dragon Software seamlessly integrates with a wide range of 3D printers and CAD systems, allowing for smooth data transfer and reducing the likelihood of errors. This compatibility ensures that manufacturers can implement Dragon Software without the need for extensive modifications to their existing setups.

Real-Time Monitoring and Adjustment: The software offers real-time monitoring of the printing process, enabling users to make on-the-fly adjustments to parameters such as temperature, speed, and layer thickness. This capability helps prevent defects and ensures high-quality output.

Advanced Simulation Tools: Dragon Software includes sophisticated simulation features that predict the behavior of materials and structures during the printing process. This predictive capability helps users identify potential issues before they occur, saving time and reducing material waste.

Dragon is an adaptive layer time model, that optimises each layer individually, trying to get the optimal thermal index for each layer. Layer times are adapted to match that thermal index, resulting in first time right, high quality and faster printing.

User-Friendly Interface and Customization

Hello Additive has focused on making Dragon Software intuitive and user-friendly. The software’s interface is designed for ease of use, with customizable dashboards and workflows that can be tailored to the specific needs of different industries and applications. This flexibility allows manufacturers to maximize productivity and achieve their unique production goals.

Security and Scalability

Security is a top priority for Hello Additive. Dragon Software employs robust encryption and secure data storage protocols to protect intellectual property and sensitive information. Additionally, the software is highly scalable, making it suitable for small businesses and large enterprises alike.

Driving Innovation in Additive Manufacturing

Hello Additive’s Dragon Software is poised to set a new standard in the additive manufacturing sector. By providing advanced optimization, seamless integration, real-time monitoring, and comprehensive simulation tools, Dragon Software empowers manufacturers to push the boundaries of what is possible with 3D printing.
