ThingWorx Flow is complementary to Microsoft Flow and can leverage customer investments in LogicApps which underly Microsoft Flow.

ThingWorx Analytics is a capability in the ThingWorx platform. It enables developers to quickly add real-time patterns, easily detect anomalies, uses predictive analytics, and contextualizes recommendations with solutions. ThingWorx Analytics is for IoT solution developers who are not experts in complex mathematics, statistics, or machine learning.

ThingWorx Analytics is an integrated module of the ThingWorx platform that processes data and produces actionable intelligence. ThingWorx Analytics monitors data streams from connected devices directly via connectivity to the underlying ThingModel. It works with other modules to automate the delivery of intelligence to ThingWorx-powered solutions.

Using ThingWorx Analytics, developers can quickly add sophisticated, automated, analytical capabilities to IoT solutions built on the ThingWorx Platform. This makes them more valuable to end-users. ThingWorx Analytics does not require expertise in analytical, machine learning, or artificial intelligence to use the technology.

The thermostatic chamber on the FUNMAT PRO 310 is actively heated and can maintain temperatures of up to 100°C. This ensures better mechanical properties of printed parts, thanks to the lower internal stresses and improved interlayer bonding. As a result, engineers and designers can produce functional components that are comparable to those produced through traditional manufacturing techniques.

The Independent Dual Extruders (IDEX) Design of the 3D printer provides a streamlined and efficient printing process when working with engineering materials. By allowing the two printheads to work independently along the same axis, the printer can seamlessly incorporate support structures while maintaining the printing quality of complex geometries.

The typical post-processing time on the Fuse Series ecosystem should be around 15-30 minutes in total for most cases.

This includes the following steps:

• 5 to 10 mn extracting parts from the powder with Fuse Sift (manual)
• 10 to 15 mn cleaning time with Fuse Blast (automatic or manual)
• and/or (optional) 10 to 15 mn polishing with Fuse Blast (automatic or manual) [this step also cleans parts]

Note that some factors such as the material used, part geometry, number of parts, desired powder reclaim, and wear level of the media itself can influence the cleaning time required.

Parts that have run through the Fuse Blast are visually clean and clean to the touch. No powder is present on visible surfaces after cleaning and parts can pass a ‘white glove’ test. Non-line-of-sight surfaces like internal cavities and passages may require manual touch-up using Fuse Blast’s manual mode and potentially additional brushes and tools dependent upon the printed geometry.

The Form 4L features a build volume 4.6 times larger than the Form 4, allowing for large-format printing without compromising on speed.

SLS 3D printing technology allows for strong, complex designs. It does not require support structures and often functions as end-use parts. The Fuse 1 is designed to be accessible and easy to use. The typical setup time takes less than 1 hour until you are ready to print.

Yes! The Funmat HT can handle a variety of materials, such as PEEK, ULTEM, and PEI, creating high-strength and durable functional prototypes. It has precise temperature control with an all-metal hot end and advanced thermal management system, ensuring accurate printing. The printer can also handle larger parts and multiple components in one go, reducing waste and saving time. The Funmat HT is ideal for aerospace, medical, or industrial fields, offering functional prototypes that meet your specific requirements.

The FUNMAT PRO 410 has a build volume of 305 x 305 x 406 mm (12 x 12 x 16 inches), totaling 37.3 liters. It can handle large prints and multiple small prints in one job, saving time and increasing productivity. Its generous build volume allows you to produce complex or large parts. Whether manufacturing small parts or printing large prototypes, the FUNMAT PRO 410 is up to the task.

The FUNMAT PRO 310 NEO supports a wide range of materials including ABS, PLA, PETG, TPU, PVA, HIPS, and more. It can handle standard and specialized filament, allowing for material versatility. With its high-temperature extruder and heated build plate, the FUNMAT PRO 310 is capable of working with engineering-grade materials like PC, PA, PEEK, PEI, and carbon fiber composites. Its adaptability makes it suitable for industries such as prototyping, manufacturing, and research and development.
