Blacksmith for X7, available today, marks the first step on the journey toward the future of adaptive manufacturing.
How Blacksmith for X7 Works
1. Calibrate Machine
The onboard laser micrometer scans an OEM certified artifact to field calibrate the X7, enabling software augmented printer consistency and scan accuracy.
2. Print & Scan Part
As you slice a part, Eiger’s patented intelligent scanning algorithm creates an integrated scan toolpath. The X7 scans the part while printing and creates a point cloud of dimensional data.
3. Analyze Data
Blacksmith compares the point cloud measured during printing to the design file, generating a detailed error field for the part and overlaying it on the initial STL.
4. Generate Report
Eiger presents this error field in an easily parsable online report. Using these tools, you can set tolerance limits, compare different prints of the same part, and browse a centralized scan library of print quality data.
