Simufact Additive 2025.4 is confirmed as the latest version of this leading metal additive manufacturing simulation software. A primary source detailing this update reveals significant performance enhancements for large-scale Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) simulations . Here are the key features and improvements in Simufact Additive 2025.4:  Major Performance Leap for Large Parts This version focuses heavily on accelerating simulations for large, complex parts, directly addressing a key industry bottleneck. Radically Faster Simulation: For large L-PBF models with 2 to 5 million or more voxel elements, simulation speed is increased by an average of 5 times . With optimized solver settings, this can reach up to 8 times faster than before . New “Balanced Performance” Mode: A new default mode...

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....
