Photocentric 3D Printers are integrated in
Autodesk Fusion and Netfabb

Photocentric, a pioneer in 3D printing technology, has collaborated with Autodesk to integrate its industry-leading design software with Photocentric’s LCD 3D printer range. This cooperation marks a significant advancement in additive manufacturing (AM), offering users a seamless transition from design to print.

With this integration, users can now directly streamline their workflow from CAD to print-ready files, eliminating the need for additional software.

Nikita Chibisov, 3D application manager at Photocentric said, “it’s been fantastic collaborating with the team at Autodesk to be able to deliver this core integration – it unlocks further flexibility and options to both our existing and future user base.”

By selecting Photocentric printers – including LC Titan, LC Magna and LC Opus – within Autodesk Fusion or Autodesk Netfabb machine library, users benefit from an optimised and efficient printing process, reducing manual steps and enhancing overall productivity.

Sualp Ozel, Senior Product Manager at Autodesk commented, “Photocentric is an industry leader in large format 3D printing with photopolymers and we are excited to work together once again to streamline the Design and Make workflows using Autodesk’s additive manufacturing software portfolio including Fusion and Netfabb.”

This partnership underscores Photocentric and Autodesk’s commitment to advancing additive manufacturing by offering best-in-class design and printing solutions. For more information on how this integration can enhance your workflow, visit Photocentric and the Autodesk websites.

Autodesk Fusion already plays an integral role within Photocentric’s own product design processes – enabling the team to streamline collaboration, accelerate design workflows, and unify essential elements into a single design environment. This reduces errors, enhances agility, and enables efficient iteration, saving significant time across projects.

Ed Barlow, Head of Engineering at Photocentric, stated, “We’re really pleased to broaden our partnership with Autodesk beyond benefiting our team internally to being able to deliver direct end-user functionality and official support for our printers – it’s very much an end-to-end collaboration.”

Photocentric users utilising Autodesk Fusion or Autodesk Netfabb can now access LC Magna, LC  Titan and LC Opus printers within the machine library for either software. Users can orient and arrange their parts within their machines build platform and generate manual or automated support structures as needed. After completing the print preparation tasks, users can slice their model natively in Autodesk Fusion or Autodesk Netfabb and export a Job file ready to be processed by the Photocentric hardware. 

Photocentric is also developing dedicated support structure scripts and templates for each Photocentric printer. This capability will be released to users in the near future.
