First-of-Its-Kind Sinter-Based Simulation Technology Implementation: A New Case Study from AMC Bridge

Generative Design Digital Manufacturing Software and High Tech Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing

Waltham, MA - To meet the growing demand for technologically powerful solutions that can effectively and predictably control the microstructure of metal parts during the sintering process, it is crucial to improve current and develop new sinter-based additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. Understanding Dekstop Metals’s request for a reliable simulation tool for sintering highly accurate metal parts, AMC Bridge applied its expertise to develop an industry leading tailor-made solution that resulted in the creation of a brand-new software application for Desktop Metal.

To push the boundaries of existing sinter-based Additive Manufacturing processes, Desktop Metal, an award-winning metal 3D printer manufacturer, developed the idea of creating a reliable simulation tool that would not only auto-generate part designs, but simulate the sintering process for metal parts and make sintering technologies more understandable and widely useable.

Relying on unparalleled knowledge and experience in engineering and simulation software development, coupled with their role in the successful advancement of Desktop Metal’s Live Parts™ technology, AMC Bridge was the ideal partner for Desktop Metal to work with in the creation of this innovative new technology.

The tailor-made application, focused on the simulation of the sintering process, fully met Desktop Metal’s expectations. Completely optimized and adapted to the unique challenges of sintering, this revolutionary solution makes the metal 3D printing process accessible and valuable to more manufacturers and engineers.
