SOLIDWORKS Rize add-in

Dassault Systemes’ SOLIDWORKS brand has incorporated Nano Dimension and Rize add-ins to the latest version of its design software.
The add-in options will enable users of the DragonFly 2020 Pro and Rize One systems design objects in SOLIDWORKS and automatically transfer files to their respective slicing software. They serve to save the user time, enhance design capabilities, and ultimately contribute to the development of more capable and reliable products.
By partnering with Nano Dimension, SOLIDWORKS is expanding its scope with regards to the type of components that can be designed through its platforms. For Nano Dimension, it represented an opportunity to appeal to more potential users of its 3D printing technology.
“By 3D printing electronics, designers can obtain faster prototypes and work on PCBs in 3D, not just 2D,” commented Suchit Jain, Vice President of Strategy & Business Development, SOLIDWORKS, Dassault Systemes. “With Nano Dimension’s SOLIDWORKS add-in, for the first time ever users can design and 3D print electronics with a push of a button. We are proud to be partnering with an industry innovator like Nano Dimension.”
“We developed this add-in for SOLIDWORKS applications as a direct response to our customers’ needs for prototyping increasingly complex designs,” said Simon Fried, President of Nano Dimension USA. “The SOLIDWORKS add-in for the DragonFly 2020 Pro is the first tool to enable the combination of freeform objects and embedded 3D electronics. This capability offers our customers the ability to make what is currently unmakeable. This enables new ways of thinking, new ways of designing and ultimately, providing revolutionary solutions to some of today’s toughest product design challenges.”
Meanwhile, Rize extended its partnership with SOLIDWORKS to develop an add-on, as it looks to take advantage of customers like ConMed and ThermoFab, who are both using the Rize One platform for custom tooling, producing moulds and replacement parts.
“We are excited that Rize has developed an add-in that will make it faster and easier for SOLIDWORKS users to use additive manufacturing,” said Gian Paolo Bassi, CEO, SOLIDWORKS, Dassault Systemes. “I am also delighted that the Rize One 3D printer has been developed in SOLIDWORKS. We look forward to growing our partnership with Rize.”
“Our focus is to drive additive at scale and bring the 3D printing process closer to end users. The Rize add-in is a step in that direction and demonstrates our commitment to SOLIDWORKS and their tremendous ecosystem of innovators. We are proud to be a part of this ecosystem,” said Andy Kalambi, President and CEO of Rize. “We will continue to work closely with SOLIDWORKS to expand the usage of additive manufacturing.”
Both companies are showcasing their 3D printing technology at SOLIDWORKS World 2018 in Los Angeles this week.
HP also announced a collaboration with SOLIDWORKS, as well as a full colour series of Multi Jet Fusion systems.
