Product Introduction

AdditiveLab RESEARCH is an innovative software solution designed to create custom models for simulating additive manufacturing processes. It enables users to perform process simulations ranging from the microscale—such as scan paths—to the entire build volume, helping to predict and optimize manufacturing outcomes. Specifically, the software is tailored for laser powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition processes. With AdditiveLab 3D printing simulation, users can develop their own simulation applications and automated workflows, and distribute them to design teams, manufacturing departments, testing laboratories, and customers.


AdditiveLab RESEARCH’s powder-bed additive manufacturing module offers a robust process-simulation solution. This versatile software enables users to predict deformation, generate correction‑deformation models, and evaluate stress, strain, and thermal histories through a suite of mechanical and thermomechanical analyses. Advanced scan‑path simulation helps elucidate melt‑pool formation, facilitating the optimization of machine parameters and laser settings. Moreover, all functionalities are accessible via the AdditiveLab Python API, empowering advanced users to automate workflows and refine processes.


AdditiveLab RESEARCH DED module enables engineers to perform additive manufacturing process simulations for technologies produced via wire- or powder-fed direct metal deposition processes, including DMD, DED, WAAM, and LMD. The AdditiveLab RESEARCH DED software for 3D printing simulation helps reduce the number of trial-and-error tests by providing simulation capabilities that can predict the potential manufacturing outcomes of DED processes.
