About machine workspaces

Applies to 2021.0 Update and later

Working environments preconfigured and set up for a variety of technologies and models of AM machines available on the market

Machine workspace focus print preparation work on particular additive manufacturing manufacturers and machine models. They include data such as build room size and material data, and may include further functions such as for creating support structures required or suitable for the particular manufacturing technology, or for packing and collision detection. The use of a machine workspace allows you to customize Netfabb specifically to the needs of your additive process and prepare your project for manufacturing with the constraints and possibilities that it brings.

Workspaces also provide access to simulation: Netfabb's simulation facilities are capable of simulating powderbed and DED processes. The relevant workspaces you contain an option to send parts and their supports, including the selected configuration, directly to simulation, saving you time you would otherwise have spent setting up the simulation parameters manually.
