Create lightweight parts with performance characteristics specific to your application.

Select from the most popular additive manufacturing machines to configure the Netfabb workspace to your process.

Netfabb works with a range of OEMs to create integrated printing experiences configured for specific machines.

Adaptive meshing and the physics-based, multiscale approach help keep processing time low and accuracy high.

Use multiscale modeling to predict the thermal and mechanical response of parts and help reduce build failures.

Simulate full builds for both powder-fed and wire-fed DED processes with Netfabb Local Simulation.

Generate PRM files based on chosen material and process parameters for increased accuracy.

Simulate the additive manufacturing process for powder bed fusion to identify potential causes of build failures.

Capture interactions between parts and the distortion of the build plate.

Design appropriate heat treatment cycles by inputting the temperature versus time curve of the desired process.

Identify possible build failures with powder bed processes that may cause equipment damage.

Predict support failure to aid in the design and placement of support structures.

Predict how metal additive manufacturing parts will deform to help reduce build failures.

Model the conduction of energy into the loose powder to increase your model’s accuracy.

Accurately calculate residual stresses and strains built up during the additive manufacturing process to identify likely regions of failure.

Simulate the mechanical response of a deposited part after removal from the build plate to calculate the final distortion.

Apply multiscale modeling to predict regions of a build that get too hot or not hot enough during processing.

Automatically compensate geometries based on simulation results to achieve the desired shape when printed.

Experimental data shows improved accuracy with the explicit modeling of loose powder and the interaction between parts.

Netfabb simulates the delamination of the part from the region where the support structure on a component experienced failure.

Netfabb Simulation accurately calculates temperature and distortion during the powder bed fusion process to within 5% error of the measurement.
