Did you know that you can predict the material properties of additive manufacturing structures before even printing them?

We had the pleasure of presenting at the 3Druck Forum Pfalz last week!
Thank you Tobias Teufel and Innovationsagentur Rheinland-Pfalz for organizing this amazing event.

Here are some key takeaways from our talk:

Additive Manufacturing is revolutionizing the manufacturing landscape with numerous benefits, including complex and lightweight geometries, unparalleled design freedom, innovative and rapid prototyping, supply chain flexibility, cost-effective small batch production, on-demand manufacturing, and much more.

However, a major challenge remains: the inhomogeneity of printed parts leads to varying material properties. This makes it difficult to predict the behavior of printed parts directly from CAD data. In our talk, Christopher Kühnle showcased our groundbreaking approach: simulating the entire printing process, including predicting the resulting material properties.

With our simulation software, GeoDict, you can determine and optimize material properties before the first part is even printed. This leads to significant time and cost reductions and enhances efficiency in additive manufacturing processes.
