Artificial intelligence applied to designs of additively manufactured products goes beyond standard optimization to produce dramatic quality and performance gains in much less time.
CFD simulation of the thermal behavior of a conformal heat exchanger, used widely in jet-engine cowlings, for a Tier 1 supplier (front edge is blurred to protect IP). The company is using PhysicsX to replace a traditionally manufactured heat exchanger with a 3D printed one. PhysicsX uses its SFAM® process (Simulation for Additive Manufacturing) to optimize the additive design to significantly outperform the conventional one. Image courtesy PhysicsX.
