Authentise, a developer of data-driven workflow tools for additive manufacturing, announced it is collaborating with Autodesk to release an integration that makes seamless use of Autodesk’s Netfabb software with Authentise’s additive workflow management tools possible.
As part of the integration, users of Authentise products can now load geometries directly into Netfabb with a

Saving files edited in Netfabb back into Authentise is equally simple, so that a seamless additive workflow from quoting to CAD editing, version control, scheduling and real-time, data-driven monitoring is now possible. The integration is available to those customers, such as Danfoss, who subscribe to both Authentise’s Additive Accelerator and any version of Autodesk Netfabb.
“Our experience with Danfoss and other customers has highlighted the fragmented process for additive as a real concern,” says Andre Wegner, CEO of Authentise. “At the same time, engineers worry that if their tools all come from the same company, they won’t get access to the best possible solutions. With this integration we have proven you can have your cake and eat it too – use the best tools for the job in a completely seamless workflow. While we have proven our open approach with third-party algorithm integrations in the past, this is the first time we are working to craft a joint customer journey. We are proud to be doing so with Autodesk.”
