Flow print preparation software is responsible for prescribing the manufacturing process for the Sapphire family of metal 3D printers. The software’s feature-based process library eliminates the need to develop new part-specific parameters sets—saving months of development time and reducing the need for specialized technicians.With more than two dozen standardized recipes,
engineers can analyze the part while Flow automatically applies the
right recipe to each feature.
Co-Developed with the Sapphire Family of Printers
Flow’s seamless integration with Sapphire printers results in pre-validated build instructions. Because Flow leverages Velo3D’s standardized process library, the resulting .veloprint file can be used to manufacture parts with consistent geometric accuracy, surface finish, and material properties from any Sapphire printer worldwide. Flow supports Velo3D’s entire line of printers including the Sapphire, Sapphire 1MZ, Sapphire XC, and the Sapphire XC 1MZ. This allows for even greater scalable production, with up to eight laser sequences covering Sapphire XC’s 600 mm diameter build plate
User Friendly Interface
Flow’s simple and intuitive interface lets you do more in fewer steps. Intuitively interact with part geometry using CAD-derived surface segmentation and reduce laborious selection and filtering processes down to a few clicks. Flow also enables easy manipulation of the part file to support, orient, layout on the build plate, and add text to the part for labels and serial numbers.
