INTRODUCTION.
Failed prints waste expensive powder, machine time and delivery schedules. AM Simulation applies LPBF-specific physics, not generic FEA, to predict thermal and mechanical distortion, recoater interference and post-processing outcomes before a single layer is printed.
- Layer-by-layer simulation of the full plate
- Residual stress and distortion estimates
- Automatic geometry pre-compensation
- Heat-treatment and stress-relief modelling
- Perpetual or pay-per-use licensing
KEY FEATURES.
WHY AM SIMULATION.
The challenge
- Failed prints waste expensive powder, machine time and delay schedules
- Traditional FEA tools are complex and not tailored to LPBF physics
- Trial-and-error erodes confidence in AM as a production method
How AM Simulation helps
- No FEA expertise required: built-in LPBF physics deliver results out of the box
- Seamless integration with AM Builder for easy validation
- Flexible licensing, perpetual or pay-per-use, to match your production volume
HOW IT WORKS.
-
Model the build
Simulates the full plate, part plus supports, layer by layer, as it is built and cooled.
-
Predict
LPBF-tuned thermal-mechanical physics estimates residual stress, distortion and recoater-interference risk.
-
Compensate
Where distortion would exceed tolerance, AM Simulation proposes geometry pre-compensation or extra support reinforcement for the next build.
