BigRep and Teton Simulation establish a Partnership to Integrate SmartSlice™ into Large-Format 3D Printing
SmartSlice™ helps industrial users to quickly define load cases for parts they intend to print and validate the as-printed performance of these parts against mechanical limits of the material but also against part deflections.
