Print to Perform - An AM Solution for Part Distortions and Residual Stresses

With continuous growth in the Additive Manufacturing (AM) as newer machines, faster processes and diverse materials are being released, it is critical for companies investing in AM to justify their investment by taking concepts to production. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform from Dassault Systèmes enables companies on that journey through a portfolio of simulation-based AM apps: from functional generative design to manufacturing planning.

This eSeminar demonstrates the latest apps for manufacturing process planning with simulation-based decisions. Using a process-specific guided assistant, the user can seamlessly incorporate slicing data, support structures and scan/tool-paths into a scalable multi-scale simulation framework that can resolve details from micro-scales for residual stress/micro-structure prediction to macro-scales for part-level distortions and support structure placements irrespective of the process family or material in use.

In this eSeminar, you will learn new apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to:

  • Plan AM processes from build preparation, support structure generation, slicing and scan strategy creation.
  • Achieve predictable and reliable builds with a flexible framework for process simulation for powder bed metal (SLM) and polymer extrusion (FFF) processes.
  • Optimize support structure placement and usage based on multiphysics support structure analysis.
  • Predict part distortions, residual stresses and microstructures with experimental validation studies.
  • Shape morph ‘as-designed’ part to ensure ‘as-manufactured’ production parts are within allowable.

The featured roles in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform are the Additive Manufacturing Programmer role for process planning, and the Additive Manufacturing Researcher role for process simulation. They are available both as ‘on-premise’ and ‘on-cloud’ allowing users to digitally accelerate the decision making process to meet their product development needs for additive, ensuring optimal utilization of their hardware investments by reducing expensive trial-and-error print times.
