Workflow with Simufact Additive - Lennart

After running several optimisation scenarios and choosing the final design of a part, the manufacutring process can be simulated. With Simufact Additive the selective laser melting process as well as the binder jetting process for metals can be performed. The process simulation can provide information regarding the distortion, temperature or any manufacturing issue like a recoater contact. Furthermore, a distortion compensation can be done. This results in a pre-compensated geometry which should be used for the manufacturing. This geometry takes all deformations during the manufacturing process into consideration to create a suitable geometry with less distortion to fullfill the tolerances of shape and position.
