AM Modeling & Simulation

Expertise service dedicated to the modeling and simulation of metal additive manufacturing processes across relevant scales. The focus is on establishing physically consistent models that reflect real process behavior rather than tool-driven abstractions.

The service covers model selection and formulation, thermal–mechanical modeling, numerical strategy, boundary condition definition, parameter identification, and coupling between process physics and material response. Particular emphasis is placed on identifying invalid assumptions, hidden numerical artifacts, and misinterpretation of simulation outputs.

Support includes evaluation of existing models, guidance on simulation setup and calibration, linkage of simulations to experimental data, and integration of modeling results into broader AM workflows. The objective is to enable simulations that are predictive, interpretable, and technically defensible for research, process development, and qualification.
