SLM Solutions offers its Additive.Intelligence software, allowing for the implementation of additive in manufacturing and pro- duction environments. The software allows import of all native CAD formats, reduces supports with an optimized exposure strategy, guides users to the best plate positioning via compo- nent-orientation processing, and offers a preliminary calculation of build costs based on machine and build setup.
The goal of the software: quicken the AM learning curve by reducing the software skills necessary to be successful, according to company officials, while optimizing builds with less supports and workflows based on specific part preparation. www.slm-solutions.us

M parts
Sintavia is a Tier-One additive manufacturer for critical indus- tries, including aerospace and defense, oil and natural gas, and power generation. Unique among independent Tier-One providers of this type, the company has a vertically aligned quality system and successful track record of working with OEMs to produce optimized metal-AM parts for existing and future programs.
The company showcases its capabilities in powder, process and part quality control, all performed inhouse. www.sintavia.com
Lattice-Optimization Tool
nTopology Booth 145
nTopology’s Lattice Size Optimization tool takes a pregenerated lattice and optimizes its beam or plate thickness based on the desired maximum allowable stress and/or center of mass prop- erties that the user specifies. Experts will discuss this analysis- workspace tool as well as considerations for running studies and tests on lattice structures to optimize performance. www.ntopology.com
Optimize your AM process chain:
Determine and reduce final part distortion
Minimize residual stress
Optimize build-up orientation and support structures Condition the part after heat treatment, base plate/ support structure removal, and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) Recalculate pre-deformed part geometry
Determine the influences of the base plate on the component
