2Build 1.3.0 Release – More Control, Higher Efficiency, Better Performance

With the new 2Build CAM Version 1.3.0 ,the focus is on efficiency, process reliability, and expanded configuration options. Find out more below!

What’s New in 2Build 1.3.0

In addition to the intelligent automation of the powder feed rate, the update brings improvements in nesting, the slicing viewer, and project reporting, complemented by targeted stability optimizations.

1. Automated Powder Feed Rate

When exporting the G-Code, the powder feed rate for each layer is automatically calculated and added to the G-Code with the M900 command. The calculation is based on the laser-processed areas of the part.

In combination with a new HMI version, the powder feed rate is adjusted layer by layer during the print job; older HMI versions ignore the M900 command to ensure compatibility.
Effect: The powder feed rate is reduced from 210–230 % to an average of 150–170 % per build job, resulting in a more efficient powder dosage. Additionally, the starting position of the powder axis is automatically added to the G-Code.

2. Enhanced Nesting Module Control

Two previously fixed parameters can now be adjusted directly in the nesting module:
  • Maximum Calculation Time – A longer calculation time can lead to optimized nesting results
  • “Nest Small Parts” Function – Allows small parts to be positioned under larger parts

Enhanced Nesting Module Control

Background: In version 1.2.9, small parts (e.g., crowns) were deliberately not placed under larger parts to avoid affecting support structures.

For applications like small orthodontic bands, positioning under larger parts is useful – this behavior can now be controlled in version 1.3.0.

3. Enhanced Support Editor Tools

The labeling module now includes a new “Label Size” parameter.

Label sizes can be flexibly adjusted between 50 % and 300 % to optimize labels for part geometries and individual requirements.

4. Improved Project Reporting

Project reports can now be generated directly via “Print Job Information” – without generating the G-Code first. Reports are also automatically saved as a .txt file in the temporary 2Build folder, making it easy to extract and use relevant information.

5. More Efficient Slicing Viewer

The performance of the slicing viewer has been significantly improved: Even with fully loaded build platforms, scrolling through layers is smoother and display times are reduced, making layer analysis and quality control easier.

6. Additional Improvements And Bug Fixes

2Assist Module:
  • Expanded knowledge base of the integrated chatbot

Stability Improvements:
  • Fixed memory error in the nesting algorithm
  • Corrected “missing layer” issue in the skeleton algorithm
  • Fixed crash when starting the nesting algorithm

Conclusion

With 2Build 1.3.0, users benefit from higher material efficiency, better control, and improved performance. The new version supports stable, optimized, and more economical additive dental production processes. Please do not hesitate to provide suggestions for future updates!
