Main features
Analyze the deformation of components to optimize the position and adjustment of support structures. Minimize expensive test prints, accelerate time to market and reduce development costs.
Identify the risks of building large parts that are susceptible to residual stresses and deformations. Identify design errors using reliable AM process simulations.
Avoid overheating and achieve better surface quality. Generate compensated component geometry to improve geometric accuracy.
Optimize part orientation for AM processes and add only necessary support structures. Use the simulation results to make well-founded decisions for part preparation.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Welche Materialien können simuliert werden?
All common 3D printing materials such as aluminum, titanium or various steels can be simulated.
Benötige ich materialwissenschaftliche Kenntnisse, um die Software zu bedienen?
The module is integrated in Magics and deliberately kept very simple so that even a layman can obtain and interpret accurate results.
Wo macht eine Simulation am Meisten Sinn?
Simulation makes sense for all components. The advantages are most noticeable with very large, time-consuming components, components with thin walls and components made of expensive materials such as titanium.
