Amphyon 2019 - New Simulation Capabilities For More Stable Processes

Advancements in 3D printing and design optimization for additive manufacturing (AM) is changing the industry’s overall approach to product design. This webinar features Altair Inspire™ a solution for designing parts through additive manufacturing and Amphyon, a complementary partner tool available through the Altair Partner Alliance. Through a combined workflow we’ll demonstrate an alternate and more efficient approach towards generative design. Instead of manufacturing the part, a process simulation in Amphyon is conducted to predict the impact of the AM process to the design. This feedback is then used to optimize design further and improve the manufacturing process by essentially fixing the defects early in the design process.

Introduction to new features and use-cases of Amphyon 2020

This webinar will present the current state of the Amphyon software including the new Support Module and how the pre-processing for Laser Beam Melting processes will be tomorrow. The web presentation includes a speech about the needs for software, the idea of the Additive Works ASAP workflow and a live demonstration of the capabilities of the software. That includes defining the ideal build orientation, creating supports based on optimization, conducting a process simulation and compensating residual distortion by pre-deforming the part geometry. The modules will be demonstrated by demo parts, that are usually manufactured by Laser Beam Melting.

Amphyon is a simulation based process software for powder bed based, laser beam melting additive manufacturing processes. It allows for automatic optimization of part orientation as well as a build up process simulation and the adaption of process parameters in order to achieve a higher part quality and more process stability.
