DESKTOP METAL LAUNCHES LIVE SUITE, AN END-TO-END SOFTWARE HUB

Desktop Metal, Inc. recently announced the launch of Live Suite™ — a package of premium software applications with all-new functionality for users of the company’s Additive Manufacturing 2.0 systems across Team DM brands.

Building on the success of the company’s Live Sinter™ simulation software, Live Suite enables users to make their digital design data come alive easily and accurately in 3D-printed metal, polymer, and ceramic parts. Live Sinter uses an advanced multi-physics approach based on state-of-the-art GPUs to simulate the end-to-end printing and sintering process — generating new design shapes that will deliver the desired final part within tight tolerances.

Live Platform™ is the all-new cloud-based hub for all Live Suite applications and services. Organized into four content categories — build, manage, learn, and support — the hub enables users to manage their entire workflow in one convenient location with 2FA security. Live Platform is also the new central administration hub for Live Suite, with the ability to provision and manage Desktop Metal 3D printing systems and users, as well as access firmware updates, knowledge, and technical support.

Customers will also be able to use Live Platform to add on a wide range of application-specific options, such as part serialization or optimized build instructions for specific parts ranging from dentures to valves. Examples of special add-on features include Autopilot, which automates build preparation for both dental and additional part-specific applications, and Live Monitor, which will soon be available to remotely view jobs as they progress through printers and ancillary equipment.

In all, Live Suite contains these powerful tools:
