FFF 3D Printing Sustainability Considerations
3D printing is often viewed as an environmentally friendly manufacturing method because of its reduction in waste material. It’s also shaking up supply chains by allowing localization, consolidation, and reduced inventories. However, every manufacturing process has an environmental impact, and additive manufacturing is no exception. In this article, we’re going to look at the FFF…

Benefits of Automatic Finite Element Mesh Adaptivity in AM Simulations
In finite element (FE) analysis the detail in which a geometry is discretized into nodes and elements determines the system resources and computational time required to calculate the solution. A balance must always be struck between capturing all the complexity of a component and producing simulation results in a useful timeframe. The number of elements…

Material Based Heat Flux Approximations in the Finite Element Modeling of Laser Based Powder Bed Fusion
In Finite Element (FE) modeling, the accuracy of any simulation is largely driven by the accuracy of the boundary conditions. In the modeling of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) processes, the key thermal boundary conditions are: For now, lets focus on heat losses which occur during the LPBF process. Heat Loss Mechanisms In LPBF, the…
