Euler Gives Metal AM Operators Free Real-Time Build Visibility

Icelandic software startup Euler has released Euler Viewer, a browser-based tool that gives metal 3D printing operators live visibility into their builds at no cost, with no hardware required. Each laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) build generates thousands of high-resolution images, one after every layer. Until now, that data has had nowhere useful to go.…
