AdditiveLab RESEARCH Metal Simulation Software

AdditiveLab RESEARCH is an innovative software solution for developing custom simulation models for additive manufacturing processes. It enables users to simulate processes across multiple scales, from the microscale (scan paths) to the entire build area, thereby facilitating the prediction and optimization of manufacturing outcomes. Specifically, the software is designed for laser powder-bed additive manufacturing and directed-energy deposition processes. With AdditiveLab 3D printing simulation, users can create their own simulation applications and automated workflows and distribute them to design teams, manufacturing departments, testing laboratories, and customers.

AddPrint Continuous Fiber 3D Printing Slicing and Path Generation Software

AddPrint software is meticulously developed in-house by the Addcomposites team. Specifically designed for SCF3D, it streamlines the planning of fiber-printing paths and manages all associated functions. AddPrint reads the CAD geometry (.step) of the part to be printed and slices the geometry for SCF3D-style printing. Its 12-axis printing technology breaks away from traditional 2D slicing, enabling 3D surface printing by leveraging defined fiber orientations, print boundaries, and print paths. The prints for each specific layer are then linked together to form a tailored ply sequence, generating a machine-readable program for the desired industrial platform—whether robotic or CNC.

AddPath Composite Material Production Path Planning and Simulation Software

AddPath is a sophisticated, in-house-developed software for the automated production of composite materials, offering comprehensive solutions for Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) and filament winding processes. With AddPath, users can plan, simulate, and optimize fiber placement paths or winding patterns, while also calculating material requirements, cycle times, and production costs. The software provides real-time error alerts and generates precise robot programs, ensuring efficient and accurate manufacturing.
