Computational Modeling as an Aid in Metal AM Qualification and Certification

One of the biggest challenges facing widespread adoption of metal AM in critical industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices is the issue of Qualification and Certification (Q&C). As AM technology matures and more complex components are built, there is a greater emphasis on developing rapid Q&C methods to be able to unlock the full potential of AM. Computational modeling, such as VEXTEC’s ICME-based VPS-MICRO® Software, can provide valuable information to decision makers when it comes to Q&C considerations in additive manufacturing. Featuring Michael Oja, Animesh Dey and Robert Tryon of VEXTEC and Emmanuel De Leon of the U.S Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. Presented by VEXTEC.
