Sigma Labs and 3DSIM Release Simulation Capability to Model Thermal Sensors for Metal Additive Manufacturing Processes
November 09 2017 - 8:00AM
Sigma Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGLB) (“Sigma Labs” or the “Company”), a
provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D®
brand, today announced that the Company and 3DSIM (www.3dsim.com)
have partnered to bring their customers closer to the reality of
full process control over the metal additive manufacturing (AM)
process which was, until today, a challenge for AM part designers
and manufacturers. 3DSIM, an AM simulation leader, has jointly
developed with Sigma, a new capability for 3DSIM’s FLEXTM software
that simulates the thermal sensors’ response to the metal AM
process. FLEXTM is the newest software from 3DSIM, the full
commercial version of which is scheduled to be released in early
2018.
“3DSIM’s new FLEXTM capability is a critical piece in the AM
digital thread. Our joint customers can now spend more time at the
front-end, running realistic simulations, which when coupled with
the missing link, PrinRite3D®, in the digital thread from process
characterization and process qualification to part certification,”
said Mark Cola, President and CTO of Sigma Labs.
“FLEX users can run a simulation that predicts what a high
speed, non-contact pyrometer in their AM machine would “see”, much
like a "print preview" function for word processing software. There
are many competitors in the market claiming the ability to simulate
portions of the AM process. 3DSIM is the only company that provides
a commercially available tool that simulates the response of
sensors in an AM machine. By predicting PrintRite3D® outputs, Sigma
Labs and 3DSIM together offer unparalleled capability for their
customers,” says Dr. Brent Stucker, CEO of 3DSIM.
Both Sigma Labs and 3DSIM will be demonstrating their
capabilities at the upcoming FORMNEXT 2017 in Frankfurt in November
in booths 3.0-F51 and 3.1-D48 respectively.
