Burlington, Mass.-based Desktop Metal has announced a strategic partnership with Dassault Systèmes’ SOLIDWORKS® brand to advance design for additive manufacturing through education and an integration between SOLIDWORKS applications and Desktop Metal systems.
Desktop Metal has developed Live Parts, an experimental generative design tool for 3-D printing. Available exclusively to SOLIDWORKS users, Live Parts applies morphogenetic principles and advanced simulation to shape strong, lightweight parts in minutes. Powered by a GPU-accelerated, multiphysics engine, the software tool automatically generates designs in real time. It produces functional parts with complex, efficient geometries that are suitable for 3-D printing.
