On March 3, 2020, the British optimization software developer Additive Flow has officially launched its AM (additive manufacturing) optimization software FormFlow.
The company was founded in 2017 and hopes to solve many digital challenges in the current additive manufacturing workflow through its multi-functional, physically-driven software.
FormFlow can adapt to various materials and processes, thus providing efficient and sustainable design for various applications.
FormFlow optimization software
In mass production, additive manufacturing processes for product development and production applications must be optimized to save time and money.
FormFlow is a multifunctional software that can apply multiple user-defined parameters to simultaneously optimize geometry, process parameters and materials. The software uses physics-driven algorithms to handle and solve complex performance problems during the design phase. FormFlow can provide the best performing parts in a cost-effective and sustainable manner in the shortest time.
The software can also be customized for different material properties and even multi-material designs, allowing users to view the productivity, cost, and performance results of different designs.
Additive Flow team and additive manufacturing design
The functions of FormFlow software include additive manufacturing design, multi-parameter design optimization, process simulation, process parameter optimization, material selection and part placement. Additive Flow hopes to provide comprehensive digital solutions for the entire digital workflow.
Currently, Additive Flow is cooperating on projects with multiple companies (from OEM to small and medium enterprises). Its multifunctional software can adapt to specific bottlenecks in the workflow of various applications. Additive Flow plans to license its FormFlow software later in 2020.
Additive Flow is not the only company in the additive manufacturing optimization software market.experienced3D printingThe company Materialize recently released the latest version of its Magics software to improve the productivity and efficiency of metal additive manufacturing.
In addition, LINK3D has launched a production planning system, which is supported by advanced construction simulation and machine connection. These companies are aware of the importance of solving the challenges in the design phase of additive manufacturing, because removing this obstacle will make additive manufacturing more widely accepted in industrial applications.
