The presentation will explain the step by step process of defining a simulation model of a classic powder bed Additive Manufacturing Process as well as the challenges and benefits of each step. The sequential steps are a follows: Topology Optimization as a precursor to Additive Manufacturing; Lattice Optimization technique; Additive Manufacturing process parameter definition such as Laser Path, slicing, heat fluxes; Coupled structural thermal interactions; process automation and optimization of entire Additive Manufacturing workflow; Distortion Compensation etc.
The presentation will showcase a fully mature Additive Manufacturing design and simulation solution on a single platform ready for deployment. The solution includes design tools to build the model, simulation tools to simulate the AM process and manufacturing tools to interface with commonly available Additive Manufacturing Machines.
