Materialise and Simufact Introduce Simulation for Metal AM Workflow
November 15 2017 - 5:15AM
Business Wire
Materialise NV (Nasdaq:MTLS), a leading provider of Additive
Manufacturing (AM) software and services, and Simufact Engineering
GmbH, a leading provider of Metal AM process simulation software,
announced an OEM license agreement. This collaboration will allow
Materialise Magics users to better control the pre-build process by
applying Simufact simulation within their familiar data preparation
environment. In addition, the support structures in the Simufact
Additive software will be represented with Materialise Magics
features.

Today, conducting simulations to predict the AM process requires
expert knowledge because of its process complexity. The combination
of Simufact’s simulation expertise with Materialise’s full process
AM expertise results in a straightforward workflow for Magics users
who want to apply simulation within their process.
“Quality control is currently one of the most important
challenges to meet the demanding requirements of our customers. Our
Inspector software already provides control during and after the
build process and now Magics users will be able to predict errors
before production. We are very confident that the combination of
our well-established Magics software with proven simulation
technology from a market leader like Simufact will offer
competitive simulation-driven solutions to the AM market.” states
Stefaan Motte, Vice President of Software at Materialise.
Simufact Additive is a powerful and scalable software tool for
the simulation of metal-based AM processes. Systematic use of
process simulation drastically reduces the number of prototypes to
be built in the development phase, while improving the quality and
lifetime of the products. This directly minimizes the
time-to-market and development costs. Implementing simulation
within Materialise Magics will allow R&D departments,
universities and designers to seamlessly shift from a heuristic
approach to a scientific, validated approach.
“Support structure generation is a standard process in the AM
build preparation workflow, and Magics software is a market-leading
tool for this purpose. When it comes to optimizing the build
process based on simulation results, the support structure plays a
significant role in achieving first-time-right print results. Our
customers will benefit from Materialise’s leading representation of
support structures integrated in Simufact Additive, further
strengthening our simulation process chain,” says Dr. Hendrik
Schafstall, CTO at Simufact engineering.
Press conferenceStefaan Motte, Vice President of Software
at Materialise, and Michael Wohlmuth, CEO of Simufact, will be
holding a press moment to answer questions about this collaboration
during formnext at the TCT press conference room on Wednesday,
