Warum Machine Control Software?

The challenge of a flexible horizontal integration of "Additive Manufacturing" demands a distributed architecture for the control of 3D printers. The control has to be distributed between build processor, machine sub-system controllers and scanner and laser controller. These control architecture components must be synchronized and served in the right manner. Currently high amount of effort into the integration is required by machine builders to establish complete software and hardware control architecture for 3D printers in general in L-PBF system in general.
AixPath MCSW is the latest software solution for controlling Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) machines. MCSW handles above challenges in developing L-PBF printers by providing: a ready to use communication and control model, a tight integration with Siemens NX Additive Manufacturing (AM) and Siemens SIMATIC Control Solutions, through a complete end-to-end solution for 3D printers, and the best available ease-for-integration.
