Recognizing the increasing reliance on modern technologies, CEAD acknowledges the importance of close collaboration with software companies to elevate the performance, compatibility, and functionality of their solutions.
CEAD aims to deliver a more advanced and user-friendly total solution for their customers by joining forces with ADAXIS, a multinational team of innovators on a mission to change the way the world uses industrial robotics and enable manufacturing of more sustainable and innovative products. This collaboration has given rise to the official launch of ‘AdaOne for Flexbot’ a software integration for CEAD’s Flexbot systems.
“Cultivating shared values and a unified vision with the ADAXIS team empowers us to innovate swiftly, steering our collaborative efforts toward the entire ecosystem of large format 3D printing.’’ states Maarten Logtenberg, co-founder and CTO of CEAD.
AdaOne for Flexbot introduces a range of unique features, including automatic raft generating and scan-to-mill functionalities.
The raft generator is an innovative feature that automatically creates rafts to secure parts to CEAD’s print bed, minimizing material use.
The scan-to-mill workflow facilitates post-3D printing data collection, enabling the automatic generation of a milling path based on acquired data. Addressing the dynamic nature of 3D printing of large parts, this feature determines the optimal alignment between the CAD model and the printed part, ensuring a milling program that meets end-users’ requirements with minimal milling time and maximized remaining material thickness. Integrated into Flexbot’s automatic tool change system, scan-to-mill guarantees a seamless workflow.
“Our collaboration with the CEAD team allows us to offer a seamless user experience that is instantly accessible, fully leveraging the technology, with a dedicated focus on promising applications’’ states Guénolé Bras, co-founder and CTO of ADAXIS.
