On Jan. 25 e-Xstream engineering, part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence (Luxembourg, U.K.) division introduced new simulation and virtual manufacturing capabilities within its Digimat software that enable users to analyze the production cost of polymer-based additive manufacturing (AM) parts against conventional processes, and continuously improve their virtual engineering processes by validating the composite’s microstructure with computerized tomography (CT) scans of manufactured parts.
The latest Digimat software enables businesses to simulate the 3D printing process and calculate the total cost of producing each part including the material use, employee time, energy and the required post-processing steps. Using this new tool, e-Xstream says an engineer can take a holistic view of part production and finishing processes to determine the best process chain for production. Crucially, says e-Xstream engineering, it can also be used to perform batch optimizations to print as many parts as possible in parallel, increasing production capacity and reducing lead time. It can also be used in production planning, to consider the total cost of ownership of machines and amortize those costs over the projected production volumes. This information is visualized for the user through plots and pie charts, so the cost breakdown can be easily analyzed for different scenarios.
