Process Development & Parameter
Optimization Consultancy
MetalWorm provides WAAM process development, including tool path generation strategy decisions, welding parameter setting, and thermal and Mechanical Analysis Consulting for WAAM. Our expert team offers comprehensive support to companies aiming to optimise WAAM processes and achieve superior results in part production.
We employ Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for thermal and mechanical analysis. This allows us to accurately simulate thermal gradients, minimise distortion, and predict mechanical behavior, including stress distribution, deformation, and fatigue life, ensuring optimal part performance during the WAAM process. Our analyses are customised to CAD data and toolpath dependencies, utilising industry-leading software for comprehensive FEA analysis. These analyses are paramount in optimising process parameters and predicting material behaviour during the WAAM process. Thermal analysis enables accurate prediction of heat distribution and thermal stresses, facilitating the optimisation of process parameters for consistent part quality. Meanwhile, mechanical analysis allows for predicting material behavior under various loading conditions, aiding in understanding factors such as residual stresses and distortion for designing parts with optimal mechanical properties.
