Additive manufacturing specialist Intech, a developer of software for additive manufacturing (AM), machine learning and artificial intelligence based in India, is considered a pioneer in metal 3D printing in the country. With it already supplying software solutions for DMG Mori's Laserstec SLM (selective laser melting) machines, other products and its customers using powder bed technology, the 30% stake will strengthen DMG's global footprint in India and accelerate DMG's innovation in AM, the company says.
Intech's new Optomet software automatically calculates optimal process parameters and simplifies programming, which results in markedly improved surface quality and reproducible component properties, DMG adds. This software can also be applied to other key technologies within additive manufacturing, such as directed energy deposition and binder jetting.
