About AdditiveLab
Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) at an industrial level is a fairly new challenge for many companies. Particularly in the early phases of adapting AM technology, companies spend several weeks with trial and error tests to optimize build configurations. This is inefficient and a waste of time and money. The software AdditiveLab helps to cut back the trial and error tests by providing simulation technology that can predict outcomes of metal-deposition AM processes. With AdditiveLab failure-prone regions can be identified efficiently and manufacturing configurations optimized to increase the manufacturing success, and subsequently, save time and money. AdditiveLab was particularly developed to address the engineering needs of AM engineers without requiring simulation knowledge. It provides a very simple user-interface and automated model preparation processes, reducing the state-of-the-art simulation to only a few clicks.
