Exactly the right metal AM process you need
Simufact Additive focuses on quick simulation of Laser Powder Bed Fusion including Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), LaserCUSING® and similar processes and reduces the need for multiple product iterations to produce 3D parts “first-time-right”.
- Prepare parts for build by orienting, identifying risks, estimating costs and generating supports
- Predict distortions, residual stresses and thermal effects via mechanical and thermal analysis
- Compensate for distortions automatically and support optimization
- Generate build files after slicing your parts
One of the key challenges for metal binder jetting manufacturers is to predict changes during the sintering process. Simufact Additive supports manufacturers to simulate the shrinkage considering amongst others the thermal strain, friction and the gravity during sintering
- Predict sintering-induced stress in advance and indicate where defects might occur
- Compensate for distortion automatically
- Dilatometry based densification prediction
- Can be expanded to other sinter based additive processes like MIM and CMF
PBF process and defect analysis (PDA)
Simufact Additive’s Defect Prediction Solution revolutionizes Metal Laser Powder Bed Fusion with a multi-scale approach. Swiftly predict defects and optimize local parameters, all within full-scale geometries. This hybrid analytical-numerical model-based module enables rapid thermal history and defect prediction at individual scan vector and powder layer levels. Predict and mitigate risks of keyholing, lack of fusion, balling up, and surface roughness.
Simufact Additive's machining module emerges as a specialized add-on to your additive manufacturing workflow. This module is specifically crafted to simulate the stress-relief phase of a part by removing material.
- An invaluable insight into how the component would behave.
- Engage in controlled, precision-based machining and ensure the structural integrity of your final product.
- Witness the seamless integration of additive manufacturing and subsequent machining stages, optimizing both your process and product quality.
The Geometry Inspection Module lets you compare a scanned body with its corresponding CAD file, swiftly calculating surface deviation and generating a compensated geometry.
- Reduces the deviation of the printed part by skillfully calculating a meaningful surface deviation comparison between the scanned component and its 'nominal CAD' simulation.
- With multiple reference geometries importable, easy selection, and part compensation options, this module is your go-to solution for enhancing accuracy in your additive manufacturing process.
Hexagon offers a dedicated solution specifically catered to the Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process in additive manufacturing.
Simufact Welding is specifically engineered to simulate DED processes with high precision. It provides insightful predictions of distortion and residual stresses, promoting optimized design strategies.
