Materialise Ansys Simulation 4.0 Improve part quality and reduce errors in your production by simulating the metal additive manufacturing (AM) build process. Benefits Minimize time-to-market and development costs Assess part distortion to effectively position and adapt support structures. Minimize expensive test builds, speed up time-to-market, and reduce development costs. Reduce scrap rate Predict different build risks of large parts prone to residual stresses and distortion. Identify build failure using robust AM process simulations. Improve product quality and accuracy Avoid overheating and achieve better surface quality. Generate compensated part geometry to improve geometrical accuracy. Validate data preparation Simulate and assess part orientation for AM processes and add support where needed. Use simulation results to make impactful decisions on the part preparation.

With e-Stage for Metal+, you can fully automate support generation to achieve these goals during every stage — from data preparation to post-processing. Benefits Streamline data preparation Reduce your time spent on support design by up to 90% while minimizing human error and build crash risk. e-Stage for Metal+ automates support generation to ensure proper stabilization and prevent deformations in your build. Reduce time spent removing supports With easy-to-remove, needle-thin contact points and a flexible grid structure, you’ll remove almost 100% of the excess powder from the support structure and lower risks related to your operators’ health and security (HSE). Simplify post-processing Generate only the support structures you truly need to significantly reduce post-processing time compared to traditional support generation...
