3D Metal Printing Workflow for Concept Laser Systems

A successful 3D Metal printing workflow requires multiple steps. First, a suitable orientation for the part has to be found. Based on that, support geometries are applied accordingly. A build process simulation sets the level of feasibility by identifying possible issues such as displacement within the process. The simulation results allow the generation of a warped model to compensate the part’s deformation. By cloning existing support geometries, the compensation model can be quickly prepared before the export into the CLS file format.
