ANSYS suite of metal additive manufacturing (AM) simulation tools that provide critical insight into the complex physics-based phenomena associated with laser powder bed fusion.
This case study demonstrates the use of ANSYS distortion compensation feature to reverse distort a part’s STL file based upon the strains predicted in the process. When producing a part using a compensated STL file, the part distorts to the correct shape as the build progresses.
