Software For DFAM
Most Flexible And Versatile Build Preparation Software
INTRODUCTION
AMBuilder is a build preparation software suited for the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) process. It is compatible with any of the LPBF Metal 3D Printers in the market. Equipped with a well-guided workflow, the cost-effective and versatile AMBuilder allows users to have a seamless experience and aids them in the end-to-end build preparation process. AMBuilder is also one of the fastest tools for smart data preparation to ensure successful builds.

BENEFITS
Optimise Orientation
Designed with powerful algorithms, it generates an ideal build orientation based on user-specified criteria of Support angle, Support area, Support volume, and Build Height. The easy-to-use interface allows control of the orientation process with sliders and visual graphs.
Distortion Analysis
LPBF process is a rapid heating and cooling process, the printed part undergoes a change in volume while cooled down. This shrinkage results in a deviation in the dimensions of the printed part from the original geometry AMBuilder’s computes the distortion before the printing process and can correct the deformation by applying a pre-deformation in the opposite direction. It also has integrated algorithms that also calculate the heat and mechanical displacement of the part. The Distortion Analysis Module reduces the part failure probability making it a more reliable production system for complex geometry parts.
Support Generation
Designed to create and manipulate supports, ensures proper supports to reduce post-processing time, automatically generates the right type of support for the part once it is oriented and reduces distortion.
- Reduce data preparation time with semi-automatic support generation
- Easily identify critical support areas
- Generate automatic support generation for any number of parts on the base plate
- Create strong but easy-to-remove tips – Arrow, Cone, cylinder
- Create strong but easy-to-remove tips – Arrow, Cone, cylinders
- Reduce material consumption by use of optimized tree supports Manipulate Supports with accessibility to individual supports
Path Generation
AMBuilder Path Generation Module is equipped with a fast and robust Slicer and Path Generator, allowing the user to quickly generate slices and laser paths.
- Optimizes Tool path to reduce build time exponentially
- Enhance the surface quality of printed parts
- Provides interactive visualization of Slices and Hatch vectors
- Seamless integration with AMOptoMet (Intech’s indigenously developed “first-of-its-kind” parameter optimization software) for importing the process parameters
- Helps create parameter libraries that can be reused, thus saving time and effort on subsequent builds
- Generates a single output file that is directly printable without the need for further processing
