In our first blog of this series “Generative Design insights: a game changer for product development and industrial 3D printing” we already gave an overview of generative design and additive manufacturing. In the following articles, we would now like to examine some aspects in more detail. Given global trends towards resource scarcity and reducing use …
In this blog series we are debunking 5 myths of multi-body dynamics. In this first blog, we address the myth that MBD simulation is motion analysis. Multibody Dynamics (MBD) simulation stretches far beyond merely simulating the motion of constrained mechanisms. It lays the foundation for collaborative systems development and serves as a basis for various …
What’s the biggest challenge facing high performance athletes this year at the Tokyo games? For many, the greatest hurdle will be the record heat and humidity levels. We used computer modelling to understand and predict the situation. The temperature in Tokyo this summer has already reached 31°C or 87.8°F and may go higher. It’s a …

The global COVID-19 pandemic over the last year has seen a major disruption to our global economy hitting nearly every country and industry sector hard. What is clear, however, as we emerge from it is that companies are being confronted by the need to digitally transform their manufacturing operations and deal with sustainability concerns across …
Simufact Additive is a scalable software solution for the simulation of metal-based additive manufacturing processes which focuses on powder bed melting and metal binder jetting processes. It is designed to predict and compensate for distortion, residual stress and temperature distribution throughout the printing, heat treatment, cutting, HIP processes and machining, such as milling and drilling, …
