Metal 3D Printing: Predicting Residual Stress and Distortion with Ansys

 First Time Right: Eliminating Build Failures in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF)

In 2026, Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) is no longer just for prototypes—it's for production. However, the high thermal gradients in processes like LPBF or DED lead to significant Residual Stresses. Without simulation, you are essentially gambling with expensive materials and machine time.
