An improved part optimization process in additive manufacturing is provided, which uses a finite element analysis only where boundary parameter differentiation is detected. For a given part being manufactured, such as in DMLS, thermal effects of adjacent volumes with no boundary parameter differentiation are ignored in the part optimization process. For example, if a given volume is over a volume of the same material, no computational analysis is conducted, but if a volume of metal is over air, then the computational analysis is conducted. This results in significantly less computational time being required. Further, the present invention uses computation equipment remote from the DMLS part production equipments, connected instead via the internet or other such “cloud computing” arrangements.
A method of additive manufacturing wherein the part optimization process in setting up the part for production makes its determination using a finite element analysis which does the computational study based upon boundary parameter differentiation.
A method of additive manufacturing wherein the part optimization process in setting up the part for production comprises the steps of:
