January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
BASF Forward AM will be at RAPID + TCT 2023 in Chicago May 2–4. A highlight of the event will be the introduction of Forward AM’s latest software solution, Ultrasim 3D Lattice Engine, which allows users access to a program designed to explore different lattice geometries and implement them into product design cycles.
Powered by Hyperganic, this solution offers an array of lattice patterns, each of which has been tested and validated for different application groups. Information about this software and an array of materials and parts will be on display at booth #2445.
Opportunity to attend the following events will also be available:
Whether designing a new footwear product, a seat or protective sporting equipment, there is a lattice geometry that meets each application's requirements. Users can access a lattice library in form of physical test pads. From there, a user can choose the lattice that best suits the part requirements and input that information into the software tool to create a digital overview of the mechanical properties.
After inputting the desired application area, the software finds lattice designs validated for similar use cases then uses modeling to automatically generate lattice parts that fit the user’s design parameters. Powered by Hyperganic’s assembly-level voxel engine, the lattice parts are generated and modulated within seconds, according to BASF Forward AM.
