Overview

Digimat-AM, a part of Hexagon's Digimat platform, is a simulation software focused on the additive manufacturing of polymers and composites. It helps users to predict and mitigate manufacturing issues such as warpage and residual stresses by simulating the printing process. This enables the optimization of process parameters for improved part quality and performance.

✨ Key Features

  • Process simulation for FFF, FDM, and SLS
  • Warpage and residual stress prediction
  • Microstructure prediction
  • Material and process parameter optimization
  • Integration with structural analysis

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Strong focus on multi-scale material modeling for polymers and composites
  • Integration with the comprehensive Digimat platform for material engineering
  • Accurate prediction of microstructure and its effect on part performance

Unique Value: Enables a 'first-time-right' approach to printing complex polymer and composite parts by accurately simulating the manufacturing process and predicting potential defects.
