ESI to Launch its Additive Manufacturing Simulation Solution at Formnext
Summary
The solution’s ability to quickly address manufacturability issues on the shop floor, as well as connecting with material quality investigations, makes it the perfect solution to ensure efficient and continuous workflows from Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to parts qualification.Not only must uncertainties linked to manufacturability be carefully investigated, but it is also essential to achieve precise levels of material performance, especially for part certification or qualification in regulated industries, such as aerospace.With ESI Additive Manufacturing integrated to ESI’s comprehensive platform of simulation solutions, future developments will deliver unique chaining capabilities to anticipate challenges linked to post-printing operations, including advanced heat treatment and machining.Led by Dr Mustafa Megahed , ESI’s research teams are involved in numerous projects including DARPA Open Manufacturing, SOFIA and AMANDE.Present in more than 40 countries, and addressing every major industrial sector, ESI Group employs about 1200 high-level specialists around the world and reported annual sales of €141 million in 2016.
