The new version brings a range of innovations, including parametric and fully editable high-end supports, now available for FDM, SLA, and SLM technologies. All supports can be generated automatically and are entirely parametric, giving users precise control over geometry, density, and contact areas. In addition, every support structure can be manually adjusted to meet specific requirements — ensuring optimal printing results and simplified post-processing.

Another major innovation is the brand-new 4DAM format, which integrates a powerful preparation engine directly into Phasio, streamlining the AM workflow like never before. By connecting Phasio’s quoting and production capabilities with 4D_Additive’s outstanding nesting functions, manual effort is significantly reduced. This automation eliminates human error and saves 40–60% of preparation time, bringing additive manufacturing one step closer to perfect digital continuity.

With the integration of Forward AM’s Ultrasim® 3D Lattice Library, 4D_Additive also takes lattice design to the next level. Users can now analyze the mechanical behavior and compression stiffness of different lattice types and automatically identify the optimal structure for their design objectives. This ensures flawless, performance-driven results — from lightweight optimization to structural reinforcement.

Finally, the introduction of the Feature Tree and Undo function delivers a true CAD-like design experience. Users can easily modify, reorder, or undo operations without restarting their entire project. These improvements simplify iteration and ensure a smoother, more flexible workflow throughout build preparation.
