AddPrint Continuous Fiber 3D Printing Slicing and Path Generation Software

AddPrint software is meticulously developed in-house by the Addcomposites team. Specifically designed for SCF3D, it streamlines the planning of fiber-printing paths and manages all associated functions. AddPrint reads the CAD geometry (.step) of the part to be printed and slices the geometry for SCF3D-style printing. Its 12-axis printing technology breaks away from traditional 2D slicing, enabling 3D surface printing by leveraging defined fiber orientations, print boundaries, and print paths. The prints for each specific layer are then linked together to form a tailored ply sequence, generating a machine-readable program for the desired industrial platform—whether robotic or CNC.
