Additive Works Amphyon
Simulation-based process software for additive manufacturing.
Overview
Amphyon is a simulation-based process software designed to prepare parts for metal additive manufacturing. It helps users determine the ideal part orientation, optimize support structures, and simulate the build process to predict and compensate for distortions, ensuring a higher success rate for prints.
✨ Key Features
- Build Orientation Optimization
- Support Structure Optimization and Generation
- Mechanical Process Simulation (Distortion & Stress)
- Thermal Process Simulation
- Pre-deformation (Distortion Compensation)
- Recoater Interference Detection
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Focus on pre-processing and prevention of build failures
- Automated orientation and support optimization modules
- Ease of use compared to general-purpose FEA tools
Unique Value: Increases the profitability and reliability of metal additive manufacturing by providing easy-to-use, simulation-based tools to optimize build setup and prevent failures, eliminating costly trial-and-error.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Ensuring first-time-right printing of aerospace components
- Manufacturing of complex industrial parts with high accuracy requirements
- Optimizing support strategies for medical implants
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Generative design or topology optimization (it is a process, not design, optimization tool)
- Polymer-based 3D printing processes
🏆 Alternatives
While general FEA packages can simulate the AM process, Amphyon is specifically designed for it, offering a more streamlined, faster, and user-friendly workflow focused on practical outcomes like optimal orientation and distortion compensation, rather than complex physics setup.
