Simufact Additive
Get it right the first time - simulation for metal additive manufacturing.
Overview
Simufact Additive is a powerful and scalable software solution for the simulation of metal-based additive manufacturing processes. It helps to predict and compensate for distortion, residual stress, and temperature distribution throughout the printing, heat treatment, and post-processing stages. This allows for a 'first-time-right' approach, reducing the need for trial and error.
✨ Key Features
- Process simulation for Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and Metal Binder Jetting (MBJ)
- Distortion and residual stress prediction
- Support structure optimization
- Build process optimization
- Heat treatment simulation
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Focus on both PBF and MBJ processes
- Strong integration with Hexagon's manufacturing ecosystem
- User-friendly interface for complex simulations
Unique Value: Reduces the need for costly and time-consuming physical trial and error by accurately simulating the metal AM process.
