Strengthen Your FDM Parts with ADDCAAM

ADDCAAM™ optimizes FDM printing with advanced slicing technology, producing stronger, more durable parts with dramatically reduced porosity—without changing your printer or materials.

Solving FDM’s Biggest Challenges

Traditional FDM printing struggles with weak layer bonds and high porosity, limiting its reliability in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. ADDCAAM addresses these fundamental issues by optimizing toolpaths at the source.

  • Weak layer bonding from air gaps reduces tensile strength.
  • Porosity from inconsistent extrusion leads to stress fractures.
  • Standard slicing lacks optimization for load-bearing parts.
  • Strength varies by print orientation, affecting reliability.
  • Infill structures don’t integrate with perimeters, creating weak points.
  • Post-processing like sanding and sealing is often needed for integrity.
  • Scalability is limited without enhanced slicing strategies.
Smarter Slicing for Stronger Parts

ADDCAAM redefines FDM printing by optimizing toolpaths at the source. Through advanced slicing techniques, it eliminates weak points, enhances layer adhesion, and drastically reduces porosity—delivering stronger, more reliable parts without additional hardware or materials.

  • InterLace – Smarter Layer Bonding: A non-coplanar bead stacking method that alternates bead heights to interlock layers, eliminating continuous stress paths and dramatically reducing porosity. This technique enhances part cohesion, creating airtight and watertight prints—essential for demanding applications.

  • InterLocking InFill – Reinforced Internal Structure: A structured infill system that alternates layer paths, locking the infill into surrounding walls to form a monolithic structure. This enhances load distribution and further strengthens the part for improved mechanical performance.
