Hexagon\u2019s Manufacturing Intelligence division has announced a new partnership with CADS Additive. The companies will exchange technologies to progress design for additive manufacturing. Under the agreement, Hexagon has integrated the build prep specialist\u2019s material-saving support structure generation technology into its Simufact Additive software. CADS Additive will also integrate Hexagon\u2019s build simulation capabilities into its AM-Studio software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hexagon\u2019s metal AM build simulation software, Simufact Additive, is used by global manufacturers to optimise production and compensate distortions resulting from laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and metal binder jetting (MBJ) processes to deliver high quality parts with minimal waste. The latest version, released in November 2021, introduces powerful support structure creation provided by CADS Additive that enables customers to further reduce their manufacturing preparation effort, material costs and build time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can now create lightweight hollow rod supports, complex line supports or block supports using CADS Additive, and achieve further optimisation of material utilisation with access to the company\u2019s innovative high-stiffness \u201cheart cell\u201d support structures and metal-optimised tree supports. These support structures can be added to parts using a native Simufact Additive interface that utilises all the features of the CADS Additive technology. This deep integration provides the user complete control over support structure parameters and enables the user to simulate the support structure and part build without any additional steps or software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick Mehmert, Solution Manager \u2013 metal additive manufacturing at Hexagon commented: \u201cWe have been very impressed with CADS Additive\u2019s support structure capabilities and the team\u2019s passion for pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing. This complements our build simulation perfectly, enabling customers to not only optimise the material and process used to make the part, but to provide complete control over the creation of highly efficient and innovative support structures that significantly reduce material waste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the new partnership, CADS Additive has also licensed build process simulation capabilities from Hexagon that will be embedded in its AM-Studio software to enable customers to validate their build feasibility and predict distortions to avoid print issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Stadlmayr, Technical Director, CADS Additive: \u201cThis collaboration is a win for all the industry. We are pleased that Hexagon has chosen to implement our additive support technology in Simufact Additive. Having such accurate build simulation really helps manufacturers to get the best quality results from their printer and reduce failure, and we are pleased that we can offer our AM-Studio customers greater confidence before they commit to print.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simufact Additive is a scalable software solution for the simulation of metal-based additive manufacturing processes which focuses on laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and metal binder jetting (MBJ) processes. Simufact Additive is designed to predict and compensate for distortion, residual stress and temperature distribution throughout the printing, heat treatment, cutting, hot isostatic pressing (HIP) as well as machining processes virtually before the part is manufactured by the 3D metal printer in reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
