As early as 2023, the German startup 1000 Kelvin launched Amaize, which is an AI auxiliary tool for the 3D printing design of laser powder (LPBF). This software combinesHigh performance IT and physically based automatic learningOptimized areas that have not been fully developed in the 3D – – – printing industry –Design of the LPBF machine-toolTo effectively avoid costly repeated tests.
Today, 1000 Kelvin shows its latest iteration of physical IA technology on Formnext 2024. Amaize 2.0 extends more functions on the basis of the success of the original version, not onlyOptimize the tool path and the exhibition strategyAlso introduced training on physical dataIntelligent model aiHelp the designers quickly complete the printed inspection during the design phase. In addition, the AI assistant also has:Select the best printing direction, generate an optimized support structure, optimize exposure strategies and provide a precise estimate of costs and other functions.ReachThe intelligence of the whole printing process,Make the printing in 3D metal more efficient and more intuitive.
Amaize 2.0: make 3D printing more efficient and reliable
1000 Kelvin said that the Amaize 1.0 tool path optimization technology can beReduce the problem of printing failure and deformation by 80%Some customers have even implemented parts that cannot be printed before, thus solving larger and more complex supply chain problems. The launch of version 2.0 adds a number of features. Its main functions include:
– Table print verifier: Check and automatically optimize LPBF design,Reduce the redesign design cycle by 40%。
– Ostal estimate: provide a precise prediction of costs,The precision of the quote increases by 30%。
– Fraction support structure: optimize the preparation of construction as a function of physical models,Save up to 20% of the cost。
-The optimization of the exhibition strategy: optimize parameters via AI to ensure “Successful impression “Reduce the failure rate by 50%.
“Previously, the customer design must go through several tedious steps: build the preparation, simulation, printing and machine backwards back and forth.
If this process is verified, Amaize 2.0 will completely modify the additive manufacturing design process. In the past, four or five engineers had to try seven or eight times to complete the task, and now only one employee can easily get it.
The possibility of transcending the manufacture of additives
Currently, 1,000 Kelvin focuses on the field of additive manufacturing (AM), but its technological potential can obviously exceed the 3D printing industry. Initially, Amaize was based on a large quantity of physical training to optimize the tool path of laser powder fusion (LPBF). Today, its function has extended to several areas such as the generation of support and the cost estimate.
In the future, this technology is completely likely to be applied to other additive manufacturing methods, such as metal printing of electron of electrons or directional energy deposit (DED). If Amaize can succeed in the metal field, its application in the field of polymers is not unimaginable.
In addition, as AI technology has entered all industries in the world, 1000 Kelvin also have the possibility of further developing its technology and finally carrying out the automation of the entire manufacturing industry. The key to all of this lies in resources and time. The Amaize development path undoubtedly provides inspiration to the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry in the future.
