Managing distortion via geometry compensation: overlay of distorted, original, and compensated beam

About this course

In this training video, Staff Solution Engineer, Jack Landsbach, gives an overview of what distortion is, what causes it, and what can be done to combat it when additively manufacturing parts. Follow along to learn how nTop can help to create compensated geometry to counteract distortion. Prerequisites: 101: nTop Essentials, 102: Guide to Meshing, 220: Intro to Field Driven Design, 230: Intro to Automation What is Covered:
  • What is distortion and what methods are generally used to combat it?
  • Geometry compensation via predictive software
  • Geometry compensation via measurement data
