Our experts will support you in taking advantage of all the options offered by this technology, helping you understand how to replace solid parts with lattice structures, how to modify the shape of components to make them functional, while maintaining the mechanical characteristics of the original part made with other technologies.
Re-engineering and redesigning your component
We support and train you in your design for additive manufacturing, creating new shapes that are impossible with traditional methods.
The key to making additive manufacturing competitive is not just to prototype or replace existing parts, but to completely redesign components and sub-assemblies and create value thanks to reduced cost, reduced weight, increased performance and faster time to market.
In addition, an important advantage of metal 3D printing is assembly reduction, consolidating multiple components into a single finished part that is ready for use.
This is the way we do design support
The steps we take in (re)design
Step 1- Identify the component from the feasibility report
Investigate new functionalities
Investigate the combination of components
Re-design for easy printing
Step 2 - Topology optimization
Mechanical and thermal simulations
Optimization based on different criteria (weight, volume, rigidity)
Design repeatability for optimal production
Step 3 - Creation of new CAD models
Validation and testing
Print strategy development
