Predictive Analysis for Additive Manufacturing
Digimat Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a holistic simulation chain for analysis of additive manufacturing process, providing the unique combination of material engineering, process simulation and structural engineering to bring efficiency and performance for 3DPrinting of polymers to the next level.
By applying multi-scale material modeling techniques to AM of polymers (unfilled and reinforced), Digimat virtual material compounding and characterization is a key enabler to developing new materials. Users can significantly reduce physical tests, understand key parameters driving the material behavior and easily create new material systems such as lightweight lattices, opening the door to even more innovative designs.
For Additive Manufacturing to make a successful transition to a standard production technique, dedicated design and engineering tools are required. By enabling as-manufactured part performance predictions – and therefore design optimization, integrative simulation is by accounting for the printing direction and the effects of defects, engineers are now able to perform accurate structural analyzes and bring more confidence in the design validation of Plastic and Composite parts.
