Simufact Additive 2024.3: The Digital Tool for Reliable Metal 3D Printing Simufact Additive 2024.3 is a specialized process simulation software focused on metal additive manufacturing (AM), particularly Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF/DMLS/SLM) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED). It enables engineers to virtually build a part layer-by-layer, predicting manufacturing-induced issues like distortion, residual stress, and support structure requirements before any physical printing occurs, thereby reducing costly trial-and-error and ensuring first-time-right builds. Core Function: Virtual Build Optimization for Metal AM Its primary role is to create a digital twin of the entire printing and heat treatment process. By simulating the thermal history and resulting thermo-mechanical effects, it identifies potential part failure (warping, cracking) and provides data-driven insights to optimize the manufacturing plan....
