With ADDCAAM, REALvision Pro users can enhance part strength using advanced tool pathing techniques.
ADDMAN has partnered with Create it REAL to make ADDCAAM, its patented, award-winning slicing software, available as a plug-in for REALvision Pro. This integration brings ADDCAAM to a broader audience of manufacturers through a new, accessible channel without compromising on performance or ease of use.
REALvision Pro is Create it REAL’s advanced slicing software platform, trusted by users for smart slicing strategies, access to 3D print experts, ease of use, and compatibility with leading FDM 3D printing systems. With the addition of ADDCAAM, REALvision Pro users can now strengthen the mechanical performance of their parts through advanced tool pathing techniques previously unavailable in mainstream slicing tools.
ADDCAAM was a finalist for the 2023 TCT Awards and earned recognition through the Advanced Concepts competition at the Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Conference. It introduces two proprietary features—InterLace and InterLocking InFill—that work together to improve layer adhesion, reduce porosity, and increase part strength. In benchmark tests, parts printed with ADDCAAM have been shown to be up to 70% stronger and exhibit 100 times less porosity than standard FDM prints—all without increasing print time.
Traditional FDM methods often struggle with weak polymer cross-linking in the X/Y plane and gaps between aligned beads, leading to stress risers and mechanical failure. ADDCAAM overcomes these issues through a non-coplanar bead stacking method that creates interlocking layers, and a structured infill strategy that locks internal features into external walls—resulting in a more cohesive, load-bearing part structure.
