Design for Additive Manufacturing

We believe that the possibilities of Additive Manufacturing go far beyond part consolidation and weight reduction. We develop intelligent designs that leverage the capabilities of this technology.

 

The design complexity afforded by AM enables us to draw inspiration from the natural world. We can incorporate features with unique functionalities that cannot be made with conventional manufacturing techniques and validate their performance through advanced multiphysics simulations.

Our core offering consists of:

  • Design from first principles

  • Material and process selection

  • Engineering design/design for manufacturability

  • Computational design

  • Multiphysics simulations

  • Manufacturing guidance and consideration for post-processing

 

Computational Design

We have expertise in generating fully parametric models that can be used to explore thousands of design variations.

  • Computational design further enables the integration of highly complex structures that cannot be designed with conventional CAD software.

  • Our parametric designs can be data-driven or optimised to meet specific requirements (i.e. flow, heat, mechanical etc.).

  • 3D scans or medical imaging sequences can also be used as input for customised parts.

Multiphysics simulation

With an abundant opportunity for innovative solutions, there is a clear obligation to not only support but also optimise the creative design with simulation. 

  • We have expertise in multiphysics simulation methods that enable us to provide new insights into performance.

  • We align our methods to our clients’ workflows for optimal collaborative efforts.
