Reduce Scrap, Cut Costs, and Boost Quality in LPBF 3D Printing with Simulation
How Magics’ free version of the Ansys Simulation module supports first-time-right printing
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) often comes with a costly challenge: failed builds that can account for up to 10% of production expenses. But what if you could identify and resolve these disruptive issues before they even occur?
This whitepaper explores how simulation software helps you predict and prevent print defects, reduce costs, and achieve first-time-right results in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) metal 3D printing. It also includes a step-by-step guide to using Magics' free version of the Ansys Simulation module.


What you will learn
- How to reduce scrap and wasted resources with simulation
- Strategies to anticipate and address common print issues, such as shrink lines, part deformation, and support breakage
- Practical steps to integrate Magics' simulation solution into your metal LPBF AM workflow
