Initial joint workflow to be showcased at Formnext in
Frankfurt, Germany
/ Key Highlights
- The strategic partnership between Ansys and Materialise
delivers an efficient, end-to-end digital workflow with the power
to help solve pressing challenges in the additive manufacturing
(AM) industry
- The workflow will deliver more value to Materialise Magics
users by providing access to Ansys software, enabling research
& development teams to prepare AM builds and run best-in-class
simulations all within the same interface
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 6, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS), the global leader in
engineering simulation software, and Materialise, a global leader
in 3D printing software and service solutions, are joining forces
to deliver integrated digital solutions to help overcome workflow
challenges in the AM industry. The partnership will seamlessly
integrate Ansys Additive Suite into Materialise's data and build
preparation tool, Magics. An initial solution, to be previewed at
Formnext 2023 and arriving in Q2 2024, will provide a best-in-class
workflow for managing AM industrial projects across industries,
including the medical and aerospace sectors.

In many cases, the AM process requires users to perform build
and data preparation tasks on one software platform and run
simulations on another. Build defects caught by simulation within
Magics will remove the need for data transfer between tools to
update build files. This ultimately requires users to master both
platforms or transfer information to a completely different user,
creating disconnected workflows and eliminating the scrap-saving
benefits of simulation.
The Ansys and Materialise partnership alleviates these issues by
combining Ansys' gold standard simulation software with

Magics into one streamlined workflow, resulting in faster
time-to-market and efficient distortion compensation. This
end-to-end process also provides fertile ground for advanced AM
research and development, empowering engineers and designers to
overcome engineering barriers standing in the way of
innovation.
"Improving accessibility to simulation is an important step to
support our customers in their metal 3D printing," Bart Van Der Schueren, chief technology officer,
executive vice president at Materialise. "Our goal is to
enable a smooth design process by empowering users to seamlessly
run valuable and efficient detection and correction simulations in
tandem with build and data preparation. This partnership will do so
by providing a platform for innovation and a process by which users
can 3D print quality products with confidence."
"Simulation changes the way we perceive our interactions with
the world," said Shane Emswiler,
senior vice president of products at Ansys. "Whether it be
understanding the behavior of new material or revisiting
standardized product configurations, the adoption of Ansys
technology into the AM workflow signifies the necessity and utility
of simulation throughout all levels of the product life cycle."
Visit Ansys at Formnext in Frankfurt, Germany, Nov
7-10, 2023, at booth B19 in hall 12.1, and Materialise at
booth C139 in hall 12.1 to learn more and watch a
demonstration.
