Using NX fixed plane Additive Manufacturing Integration

The image below shows a fixed plane Additive Manufacturing operation with added geometry and 3D printer files, generated in the NX Additive Manufacturing application. When you save the NX part, printer files are imported into the Teamcenter database as datasets under the fixed plane Additive Manufacturing activity.

The fixed plane Additive Manufacturing operation can be sent to Manufacturing Process Planner or Part Planner, where the operation structure can be seen.

When you open an operation revision in the Activities tab, the datasets under the fixed plane Additive Manufacturing Activity can be seen. Every named reference contains an output file.

When you import Additive Manufacturing printer files, all output files are imported into datasets under a fixed plane Additive Manufacturing activity. There is one exception, in which the output file with extension .3mf is attached to a revision object. You can see this when the revision object is opened in the Named References dialog box.

Note

Before you can use NX fixed plane Additive Manufacturing Integration, it must be installed.
