Thermal Simulation
Explore our thermal simulation to gain insight of the physical process. We effectively reduce the time required to obtain an optimized parameter set, and so can you.
- Finite Element Modeling (FEM) simulations via element birth technique
- Remelting depth during metal deposition for fusion quality
- Thermal history of every element is known, leaving no surprises
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to accelerate process parameter optimization
