…quickly. The simulations also promise precision. “Thermomechanical macro-scale models have proven to deliver high accuracy,” says Patrick Mehmert, product manager at Simufact. “Distortions and stresses can be predicted, and manufacturing risks like re-coater crashes or cracks can be identified.” Simulations Pay It Forward The simulations of each scale contribute valuable design and manufacturing information. Their contributions, however, extend beyond isolated…
