A Hexagon Volume Graphics Visualization & Metrology Software Newsletter
Newsletter - Volume 1 – Additive Manufacturing?????????
Challenges in Additive Manufacturing
·?Distortions caused by uneven heating, internal stress, inconsistencies in volume distribution.
·?Distortions remain after completing previous optimization.
·?Lost communications between metrology & manufacturing.
·?Ability to visualize distortions.?
Hexagon Volume Graphics - Manufacturing Geometry Correction module – Surface Mesh Correction Tool
·?Create a surface mesh to compensate for the difference between the actual object and reference object.? This can be directly from a simulated mesh and/or 3D scanning device.
·?Creating a compensated, print-ready mesh, eliminates trail- and- error approach, reduces time to market, and material waste.
·?No requirement for additional CAD system to optimize geometry.
5 Steps to Correct Deformities in Additive Manufacturing:
Design File (*.STL *.STEP):
Printed Part:
Create the Digital Twin (3D Scanner):
Compare Design File to Printed Part:
Create Compensated Mesh File:
Print Part using the Compensated Mesh File:
Compensate distortion to achieve perfect parts!

1 年Good morning Sheri. I liked the webinar yesterday and would like to be included in all futrue webinars. I do have one suggestion for a future webinar; fiber analysis!
