MultiMechanics is a developer of multi-scale material modeling and simulation software, and Fortify is a Boston additive manufacturing company focused on composite systems. The two companies have announced a strategic partnership to improve predictable composite 3D printing. Sex.
As part of the partnership, Fortify will use MultiMechanics' flagship product, MultiMech, to predict the structural integrity of printed parts prior to printing and to help optimize the design by controlling the fiber orientation throughout the structure. We will definitely need better 3D printing in the future. Predictive, the application provides a unique case for MultiMech software, resulting in printed components that take advantage of the strength and weight of the composite to achieve resolution and complexity previously impossible.
Many companies involved in composite 3D printing are struggling to determine how their printed parts behave. With Fortify print analysis software and Fluxprint printing capabilities, MultiMech will serve as a tool for closed-loop iterative design of composite parts with optimized fiber orientation. Feedback required. This collaboration will enable users to optimize the design and manufacture of parts to suit specific applications. Some projects in 3D printing will benefit from the use of MultiMech, including end-use components for industrial drones and injection molding tools. Together to promote the development of the 3D printing industry.
Cooperation between the two companies
With the expansion of the two startups, MultiMechanics and Fortify plan to integrate the MultiMech API into the Fortify 3D printer. Then, FortM users can use MultiMech's simulation capabilities to give engineers complete control over the 3D printing process, from design and testing to final Production. Because both companies offer users the ability to control microstructure design at every single point in the product. Fortify allows for real-world implementation, while MultiMechanics enables virtualization, a powerful synergy that eliminates design constraints. To create truly optimized parts.
Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, MultiMechanics is a leading developer of virtual test software designed to help organizations reduce physical prototyping and testing. MultiMech uses a physics-based approach named TRUE Multiscale, which is fully coupled. A two-way multi-scale finite element solver that accurately predicts and visualizes multiple scale stresses and crack propagations at the same time. MultiMech was originally a stand-alone tool that can now be embedded in many computer-aided engineering (CAE) software platforms, so engineers can Perform parallel multi-scale analysis in its preferred workflow.
The partnership was one year after MultiMechanics announced the issuance of $1.9 million in funding. The goal of the investment is to develop the company's engineering team, further expand its product development channels, and expand its position in the commercial market.
