Advanced additive manufacturing simulation platforms such as MSC Digimat, Ansys, and Abaqus are powerful tools that can be used to simulate the manufacturing process of various additive manufacturing techniques, including Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS).
One of the biggest challenges in additive manufacturing is achieving high part fidelity, which refers to the accuracy and precision of the final printed part. Simulation-based design allows engineers to predict and optimize the manufacturing process to minimize warpage and residual stresses, which are common issues in the production of polymer parts.
By using advanced simulation platforms, our engineers can analyze the thermal and mechanical behavior of the additive manufacturing process, allowing them to optimize process parameters and material selection to improve part fidelity and reduce defects and to reduce the time and cost of development.
