A few years ago, additive manufacturing was mainly associated with rapid prototyping, research projects, and advanced engineering teams. Today, many organizations are looking to additive manufacturing technologies as a production solution as well.
The Altair Startup Program helps startups develop innovative solutions, reduce development times, and lower costs throughout the product lifecycle, from concept design to in-service operation.
Altair & Additive Manufacturing
Recent developments in simulation software technologies are consolidating the decision making into a single environment. Altair’s design for additive manufacturing solutions streamline the process with robust and accessible design and simulation tools. Altair’s simulation products comprise of:
- Topology optimization
- Simulation-driven design
- Manufacturing simulation
- Design-centric simulation
Altair provides software that goes beyond the creation of unique prototypes assuring performance and manufacturability.
Benefits Of Altair’s Simulation Technology
- Additive manufacturing for production: Identifying high-value parts and business cases, where additive manufacturing offers a commercial alternative to conventional manufacturing techniques.
- Printing right, the first time: Quickly understand possible defects before printing. Effectively influence changes to product design and process, all in a single environment.
- Designing optimal parts: Create high-performance designs specific to any additive manufacturing process, with the least amount of post-processing and optimizing the trial and error conditions.
