AdditiveLab Reviews

Netfabb®, a software package that optimizes designs for additive manufacturing, simulates metal additive processes, and plans for CNC post-processing, includes tools for build preparation. You can import models from many CAD formats and use repair tools quickly to correct errors. Adjust the wall thickness, smooth out rough areas, etc., to make your models ready for production. Semi-automated tools can be used to identify areas that need support. Convert organic, unstructured mesh files into boundary representation models. Make them available in CAD in STEP or SAT format. To optimize the placement of parts within a build volume, you can use 2D or 3D packing algorithms. You can create custom reports that include important information for manufacturing and quoting. For maximum surface quality, part density, speed, and efficiency, develop build strategies and define toolpath parameters.

Digimat-AM, a Digimat Software solution, simulates the printing process and assists printer manufacturers and end-users in identifying manufacturing issues. It optimizes the printing parameters to maximize productivity and ensure the best possible performance of final parts before printing the first one. Digimat-AM allows you to convert hundreds of errors and trials into just a few clicks. Digimat-AM empowers engineers by providing a process simulation solution that works. Simulate the FFF and FDM of unfilled and reinforced materials. Predict the process-induced microstructure, residual stresses, and part warpage of as-printed parts. Analyze the thermal-structural coupling of the process for both unfilled and reinforced polymers. You can set up the right manufacturing parameters to achieve high precision printing. This will help bridge the gap between the printing process, the material, and the part performance.
