Drop by Hall 12.1 Booth D119 to learn about the major benefits over competitor DfM software offered by Altair’s fully integrated simulation-driven design approach for both traditional (casting, extrusion, forming, molding) and additive (metal binder jetting; powder bed fusion aka SLM) manufacturing processes. Take a further dive into Etteplan’s study of the tree harvester extension boom-end to see how by targeting the design optimization workflow for casting, they achieved a weight reduction of 53% over the original part. See how together, Altair’s extensive software tools in the hands of Etteplan engineering experts is building a competitive future for its worldwide customers across all engineering sectors. #Formnext #Altair #Siemens #ForwardTogether
