Summary

In an up-to-the-minute discussion about the software interface for 3D design engineers, panelists share specific ways they boost productivity and achieve high-fidelity results when applying upfront approaches to simulation and interactive modeling for additive manufacturing. For example:

  • Implicit modeling defines the 3D models in a mathematical equation, allowing lattice structures to be generated quickly.
  • Cloud-based platforms allow for complicated geometries to be designed in one location and printed thousands of miles away.
  • Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) is key to achieving the right result.
  • Hardware and software must be able to communicate.
  • In addition to monitoring and controlling the process, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will not only predict errors but propose corrective actions, so that parts are printed error-free, which might be used for critical applications such as aerospace and defense.
