First Time Right in Additive Manufacturing

Your resources are valuable, and the additive manufacturing process carries risks of wasting them unintentionally. A failed print job can mean you have to start completely from scratch – with troubleshooting, parameter adjustments, and re-preparing data, which ties up valuable capacity. By using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate before printing, you significantly minimize these risks and use your resources optimally.

Every print job costs valuable time. Use every minute effectively by simulating your component instead of wasting time on production failures. While your competitors are still struggling with production errors and shifting delivery dates, you are already planning your next project.

Every print consumes material. Precise simulation allows you to invest every gram of metal powder effectively in high-quality components. Identify early whether manufacturing is within tolerance limits and whether the support structures provide sufficient stability. This significantly reduces the number of failed prints, lowers your material consumption, and saves costs.

A faulty print job can quickly become expensive, especially when components deform during printing and the job must be aborted. Predictive simulation identifies critical deformation points before printing begins, allowing you to avoid costly print cancellations and use your print resources optimally.

Precise prediction of component quality through FEM simulation improves the forecast for completion of your projects. This increases your ability to deliver orders on time and makes you a reliable partner for your customers.

Success builds up your team. While errors are instructive, they can also be expensive and demoralizing. In simulation, errors only cost a few clicks and not valuable resources. This enables both newcomers and experienced professionals in additive manufacturing to work precisely and with motivation on new challenges.
