Dyndrite's AGK geometry engine with Additive Toolkit app imports CAD data to drive AM process
- April 4, 2019
- Product Release
- Additive Manufacturing
Dyndrite Corp. has launched the Accelerated Geometry Kernel (AGK), a fully GPU-native geometry engine, and the Additive Toolkit, the first application built on the new kernel. They are designed for developing next-generation applications and devices for designers, engineers, and 3D-printing technicians.
The hybrid kernel can represent all current geometry types, including higher-order geometries such as splines (NURBs), surface tessellations, volumetric data, tetrahedra, and voxels. Additionally, users can move seamlessly between geometric representations without destroying the original underlying data format. It handles additive-specific computations such as lattice, support, and slice generation, in some cases reducing compute times from hours or days to minutes or seconds, the company states.
The toolkit is designed to help improve the productivity of 3D-printing technicians. It streamlines the CAD-to-print process by directly importing CAD files, maintaining the original spline data, and using that data to drive the additive manufacturing process. This eliminates model prepping steps and allows users to do on-the-fly determinations on desired output quality.
