PITTSBURGH, Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
/ Key Highlights
- EOS and Ansys are collaborating to deliver an enhanced,
streamlined user experience for developing additive manufacturing
(AM) parts
- EOS' advanced industrial 3D printing systems will be
interoperable with Ansys simulation solutions, empowering AM
engineers to create highly precise parts, boost productivity,
reduce development time and expedite new products to market
EOS and Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) are collaborating to provide an
enhanced, streamlined workflow for developing AM parts. The new
workflow teams EOS' metal systems for additive manufacturing with
Ansys simulation solutions — equipping AM engineers to develop
highly-precise parts, improve productivity, slash production time
and deliver new products faster than ever.
AM adoption is accelerating across many industries, however,
many engineers continue to use a trial-and-error approach and
optimized process parameters for developing their desired
geometries, which is quite expensive. Build failures result in
reduced efficiency, increased development costs and a slower time
to market. Together, EOS and Ansys are helping engineers determine
and mitigate build failure issues prior to printing, so parts can
be generated faster and more accurately for customers.
The new collaboration advances interoperability between EOS and
Ansys technologies. As a member of the EOS Developer Network, Ansys
will enhance user AM processes via Ansys simulations and expedite
printing by sending jobs directly to EOS' 3D printing systems.
Additionally, to enhance simulation fidelity, Ansys simulations
integrate EOS-specific data by leveraging EOS' open-source
application program interfaces. This integration will help improve
part geometries by predicting and compensating for distortion and
other issues to significantly reduce build failure and upgrade
manufacturing processes to increase productivity. It will also
improve material property selection by forecasting how design
changes will affect the microstructure of parts. With the new
workflow, users designed complex print jobs up to 20% faster and
simple jobs up to 50-60% faster than previous methods.
"EOS and Ansys are transforming how companies worldwide design
parts, enhance products and create leading-edge inventions," said
Martin Steuer, senior vice
president, Division Software at EOS. "Combining Ansys simulations
with EOS 3D printing technology creates a seamless workflow that
enables our mutual customers to reduce spending, increase
reliability, boost efficiency and deliver products to market much
earlier than the competition."
"Leveraging EOS scan vectors, Ansys simulations calculate and
predict issues such as porosity, residual stress, thermal
distortion and help users avoid potential blade crashes. This
collaboration provides new levels of insight to users, making it
easier for them to build complex parts more precisely," said
Shane Emswiler, senior vice
president at Ansys. "Uncovering these issues early using simulation
empowers engineers to select the correct parameters and understand
if a part can be built as-is or must be redesigned — ultimately
greatly minimizing the number of builds by substantially reducing
trial-and-error failures, resulting in reduced material waste and
substantial cost savings."
