Netfabb Product details
Netfabb Product details
Import, analyze, and repair models
Import models from a variety of CAD formats and use repair tools to quickly correct errors.
Modify models for production
Get your models ready for production by adjusting wall thicknesses, smoothing rough areas, and more.
Configurable build supports
Identify areas that require support and use semi-automated tools to generate support structures.
Automatic packing
Use 2D and 3D packing algorithms to optimally place parts within the build volume.
Report generation
Create custom reports that include critical information for manufacturing and quoting.
Additive toolpaths
Develop build strategies and define toolpath parameters for maximum surface quality, part density, and speed.
Automation
Automate common preparation tasks including import, analysis, repair, packing, slicing, and tool pathing.
Internal lattice structures
Create lightweight parts with performance characteristics specific to your application.
Machine workspaces
Select from the most popular additive manufacturing machines to configure the Netfabb workspace to your process.
Solutions for machine manufacturers
Netfabb works with a range of OEMs to create integrated printing experiences configured for specific machines.
Fast, predictive simulation
Adaptive meshing and the physics-based, multiscale approach help keep processing time low and accuracy high.
MPBF
Use multiscale modeling to predict the thermal and mechanical response of parts and help reduce build failures.
DED
Simulate full builds for both powder-fed and wire-fed DED processes with Netfabb Local Simulation.
Small-scale simulation
Generate PRM files based on chosen material and process parameters for increased accuracy.
Part-scale simulation
Simulate the additive manufacturing process for powder bed fusion to identify potential causes of build failures.
Simulate the entire build plate
Capture interactions between parts and the distortion of the build plate.
Simulate stress relief
Design appropriate heat treatment cycles by inputting the temperature versus time curve of the desired process.
Detect recoater interference
Identify possible build failures with powder bed processes that may cause equipment damage.
Avoid support failure
Predict support failure to aid in the design and placement of support structures.
Predict part distortion
Predict how metal additive manufacturing parts will deform to help reduce build failures.
Account for part/powder interaction
Model the conduction of energy into the loose powder to increase your model’s accuracy.
Calculate residual stresses
Accurately calculate residual stresses and strains built up during the additive manufacturing process to identify likely regions of failure.
Simulate response after wire-cutting
Simulate the mechanical response of a deposited part after removal from the build plate to calculate the final distortion.
Predict hot spots and lack of fusion
Apply multiscale modeling to predict regions of a build that get too hot or not hot enough during processing.
Compensate for distortion
Automatically compensate geometries based on simulation results to achieve the desired shape when printed.
Part/powder interaction
Experimental data shows improved accuracy with the explicit modeling of loose powder and the interaction between parts.
Support Failure Prediction
Netfabb simulates the delamination of the part from the region where the support structure on a component experienced failure.
Moving source simultion
Netfabb Simulation accurately calculates temperature and distortion during the powder bed fusion process to within 5% error of the measurement.
