Designcenter Solid Edge
3D Printing
Successful 3D printing starts with designs that are optimized for the manufacturing process, ensuring better performance, efficiency, and print quality.
3D Printing
Solid Edge provides the tools needed to design for additive manufacturing, whether you’re producing prototypes or end-use parts. By supporting design optimization for 3D printing, it helps engineers create high-quality components while streamlining the transition from concept to production.
Create World-Class Products with the Latest Techniques
Solid Edge supports the complete additive manufacturing workflow, from designing and optimizing parts for 3D printing to preparing files for production and connecting with compatible hardware and printing services. This streamlined process helps bring innovative products to market faster with greater efficiency.
Explore New Concepts with Generative Design
Solid Edge combines generative design with topology optimization to create lightweight, high-performance parts tailored for additive manufacturing. Rapidly explore innovative design concepts, reduce material usage, and develop complex geometries that are ideally suited for 3D printing.
Preparation of Geometry for Additive Manufacturing
Solid Edge simplifies the preparation of models for additive manufacturing by combining traditional B-rep solid models with triangular mesh geometry in a single environment. This eliminates time-consuming conversions, reduces rework, and enables efficient production of complex, 3D-print-ready designs.
Direct Output to Your 3D Printer
Solid Edge makes 3D printing simple with direct export to industry-standard .STL and .3MF formats, as well as integration with Microsoft 3D Builder. Automated print preparation and support for colour printing help streamline the process from digital design to physical part.
Instant Quotes and On-Demand Manufacturing
Solid Edge connects directly to cloud-based 3D printing services, allowing you to upload designs, receive instant manufacturing quotes, compare pricing and lead times across materials, and have finished parts delivered directly to your door.
