XYZprinting, the world’s leading 3D printing company today announced that Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS will now integrate 3D printing solutions for XYZprinting’s product ecosystem. Through this solution, SOLIDWORKS is fully integrated into XYZprinting’s product suite, enabling users to seamlessly design and 3D print within SOLIDWORKS directly from select XYZprinting devices.
“We are encouraged that 3D printing companies such as XYZprinting are planning to take steps to elevate the software experience; this will not only make 3D printing easier for users, but more accessible given the broad range of products and affordability such as those from XYZprinting, said Nicholas Iwaskow, Director, Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks, Alliances & Partnerships. “The combination of our technologies leverages both of our experiences in the 3D printing space.”
As the global market leader in the Desktop 3D printing space, XYZprinting continues to evolve their product ecosystem with the most advanced technologies and address consumers’ needs by introducing easy-to-use devices that deliver innovative experiences at cost-effective prices (CONTEXT Q4 2015). Through this partnership, XYZprinting continues to successfully make easy-to-use 3D printing experiences available to the consumer 3D printing market and beyond, enabling the convenience of designing and printing solely within the SOLIDWORKS software, as easy as XYZprinting’s plug-and-play devices.
Designed specifically for use in XYZprinting’s products, Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS comprehensive 3D printing software seamlessly integrates the design process to deliver a simplified user experience. SOLIDWORKS’ software allows all consumers – from entry level to advanced business-to-business customers – to benefit from XYZprinting’s advanced technology, offering select Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Sterolithography technology (SLA), and Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology. The combination of XYZprinting’s technology and SOLIDWORKS’ software addresses consumer pain points across 3D design and printing capabilities; offering a seamless, enhanced experience.
“We’re proud to partner with Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS to deliver a streamlined 3D printing experience for consumers,” said Simon Shen, CEO of XYZprinting and New Kinpo Group. “Together, our partnership with SOLIDWORKS revolutionizes the traditional consumer’s 3D printing workflow. With a focus on 3D printing software integration, leveraging XYZprinting’s product suite and SOLIDWORKS’ software, our partnership delivers an enhanced 3D printing experience to consumers.”
The XYZprinting / SOLIDWORKS solution:
Transforms the traditional 3D printing workflow by removing time-consuming steps; such as finishing a design, exporting an STL file, utilizing separate applications, and additional reorientation and scaling steps before printing.
Instead, consumers will be able to 3D print directly within the SOLIDWORKS software
