Optimize Machining and Additive Manufacturing
Keeping additive and CNC machines running on the shop floor is crucial, as idle machines mean wasted productivity and a loss in business opportunities. However, new products and engineering changes can cause delays while machine programmers work to ready the shop floor. DELMIA Fabrication helps manufacturers reduce this delay and significantly improve programmer and machine productivity by accelerating both launches and engineering changes, optimizing resources, and improving quality from stock or powder to finished parts. DELMIA is a cutting-edge suite of machining software applications that empowers manufacturers to unleash the full potential of their CNC machines. It provides a single integrated CAM & CAD software environment to facilitate the programming, simulation, and optimization of machining processes.
Relying on an integrated platform, no time is wasted on file transfers as all activities share the same data. CNC machine programmers can perform instant updates and evaluate their impact on machining processes. Ensure fewer mistakes and false starts by validating processes, designs, resources, and output before production begins. DELMIA Fabrication enables users to optimize manufacturing processes, minimize shop floor delays and reduce cost in the long-term.
Designed to make programming, simulating, and optimizing CNC machines a breeze, DELMIA Machining provides a complete, integrated 3D modeling & simulation of the entire machining process, from tool assembly to tool path. As a result, operators can instantly update machine programs, quickly see the impact of changes, and optimize machining operations for maximum efficiency and quality. Our CAM software supports a wide range of machining operations, from milling and turning to multi-axis machining, allowing you to tackle any project with confidence. Users can simulate the real behavior of complex machine tools, and quickly generate G-code for CNC machines. The solution provides ease of use by implementing a standardized user interface for programming machines of all types, making it easier to incorporate and deploy new machine tools. This approach delivers a reduction of lead-time from design to production and reduces programming hours by up to 80% for modified versions of existing parts and products. DELMIA Machining lays the foundation for continuous improvement by capturing and reusing best practices through templates, tool setups and cell designs.

DELMIA Additive Manufacturing
DELMIA Additive Manufacturing automates and optimizes additive processes for your manufacturing business. With a user-friendly interface and powerful features, you can quickly define an accurate and detailed manufacturing build preparation with tools for 3D nesting, supports definition, part labeling and cost estimation. Scan paths based on the 3D geometry can be generated to apply appropriate strategies to control quality variables for both parts and supports for printers using one or several lasers. The build plate with parts and supports to be printed can be output in 3MF, AMF and STL standard formats. The laser path can also be output under specific printer format for Renishaw, Addup printers as an example. This helps improve quality of the part, mitigate waste, and shorten the time required to print a quality part. DELMIA equips you with the necessary programming for most polymer and metal printing techniques including:
- Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
- Selective Laser Melting (SLM)
- Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)
- Binder Jetting (BJ)
- Electron Beam Melting (EBM)
- Direct Melting Laser Sintering (DMLS)
- Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)
- Stereo lithography (SLA)
- Digital Light Processing (DLP)
- Multi Jet Modeling (MJM)
- Fusion Deposition Modeling (FDM)
- Laser Cladding
- Direct Energy Deposition (DED)
- Laser Metal Deposition (LMD)
