                                  The Adaption

   The Amphyon process parameter adaption provides two innovative modules for
   automatic and part individual adaption of process parameters for an
   increase in accuracy, stability and quality. The modules are currently in
   the stage of finalization and integration in first commercial AM systems
   is underway. Both modules are running fast, automatically, are applicable
   to arbitrary parts and easily to be adapted to the user’s preferences.

   In general, scan parameters in additive manufacturing processes constitute
   a major know how of both, technology provider and technology users.
   Because of this, the Amphyon modules for adaption are restricted in a way
   to ensure that already optimized aspects are not influenced, making a
   complete re-optimization needless. In the case of the Sinter Guard, only
   regions near the surface and for example in cellular structures are
   influenced, keeping aspects like density and mechanical properties in the
   rest of the part constant. The Stress Guard merely changes the direction
   of the hatch within the part in a way that ensures that the density is as
   can be expected from the user’s standard parameter set.

Sinter Guard: Automatic adaption of scan parameters for increased thermal
stability and surface quality

   Efforts for post processing are a major cost driver for industrial AM.
   Besides the manual or automatic support removal, unwanted
   sintering-effects are responsible for most of the effort. In order to
   prevent thermal conditions that lead to such effects, Amphyon provides a
   fully automatic module that incorporates global topological dissection of
   the part and a detailed analysis of the local geometric properties. Based
   on these data, the algorithm identifies areas where laser parameters,
   optimized for the interior of large parts, are unsuited. By the automatic
   derivation of correction factors to the energy input, it is then possible
   to ensure thermal stability and good surface quality in thin walls,
   cellular structures and general overhangs without manual adaption of the
   parameter to the different areas and characteristics of the part.

Stress Guard: Automatic calculation of optimal hatch directions (patent pending)

   Besides the thermal stability, stress accumulation and therefore geometric
   accuracy and process stability depend on the chosen process parameters.
   Research has shown that especially the chosen direction of the hatch has a
   great influence on the mechanical influence of each layer on the build of
   the part. Based on easily determined data for the material and process,
   the Stress Guard module uses a finite element based algorithm to determine
   the optimal hatch directions that lead to minimal accumulated residual
   stresses during the process, a reduction of plastic strains and an
   increase in geometric accuracy of the part. Experiments show that the
   Stress Guard strategy is able to reduce the part deformation drastically.

                                 The Assessment

   The Assessment module of Amphyon has a dual application in the development
   chain of additive manufacturing. On the one hand it may serve as an
   intuitive and fast link between the design stage and the process of
   additive manufacturing. On the other hand it enables the determination of
   the optimal orientation of a part within the build chamber with regard to
   a number of different process efforts.

Design stage: Easy Inclusion of process aspects into the design development

   Though the additive manufacturing process provides an unprecedented
   freedom of design and enables the creation of revolutionary parts and
   functionalities, not every draft is fit for production by AM and even less
   designs are economically sensible. For a given design draft, the
   Assessment module of Amphyon calculates estimates for all relevant cost
   drivers such as build-up time, support material, post processing as well
   as error sources such as deformation tendencies within minutes. By this
   integration of process aspects into the first stages of design and
   development, the overall lead time of a new product can be significantly
   reduced.

   Amphyon calculates the relevant process efforts for all possible
   orientations of the part at once, providing a thorough overview of the
   design potential and the number of good orientations.

Pre-process stage: Fast calculation of optimal orientation

   Even if the design is given or already agreed upon, it is often not
   defined in which direction the part shall be generated. In this case the
   fast effort estimation of the Assessment module enables you to
   automatically re-orientate the part according to user preferences or to
   determine potentially good orientations for more detailed analysis.

           Simulation and Process Software for Additive Manufacturing

   Additive Works provides software solutions aiming at a „first-time-right“
   additive manufacturing process by integrating new analysis and simulation
   tools into the process chain of powder bed based Laser Beam Melting
   processes (LBM, SLM, DMLS, Metal 3D Printing). Driven by current
   requirements and problems of industrial additive manufacturing, the
   software suite Amphyon was developed. It incorporates and guides the user
   through an innovative pre-processing approach:

The ASAP principle

  Assessment - Simulation - Adaption - Process

   The ASAP-Principle contains four steps on the way to a stable, efficient
   and reliable process chain: Assessment, Simulation, Adaption and the
   Process itself. By assessing of all possible build orientations with
   respect to economical and physical aspects of the process, both,
   limitations of the design and optimal orientations can be calculated. The
   direct integration of fast simulation tools into this new preprocessing
   chain ensures geometric accuracy and increases process stability. Finally,
   fast analysis algorithms are provided to improve the process control with
   respect to thermal and mechanical aspects via hatch re-orientation and
   parameter adaption. Our software Amphyon implements all necessary tools
   for this procedure and is optimized for regular workstation hardware.

                        Examine. Simulate. Manufacture.

                 Decrease lead times and increase part quality!

   Amphyon was created to replace experimentally determined build-up
   strategies by simulation aided process strategies to save costs, time and
   energy in development of additively manufactured (AM) components. By the
   integration of fast numerical process analysis and simulation into the
   process chain, surface quality and shape accuracy can be increased without
   the need for further action by the user. Amphyon consists of several
   modules that support the pre-processing steps and enhance the process
   itself. There are three major applications Amphyon and its modules focus
   on:

     • help designers to learn how to deal with AM and its issues
     • help researchers to study process physics by numerical simulation
     • help production to optimize pre-processing and build data within a few
       steps

                                 The Simulation

   Due to the complexity of the manufacturing process, a lot of factors and
   potential defects have to be considered for each individual part design.
   The simulation module of Amphyon provides the user with an easy to use
   tool to forecast the most important aspects. Amphyon implements a fast and
   intuitive mechanical process simulation, providing accurate simulations
   even for very large and complex structures while still providing computing
   times that allow for a direct integration into the development chain.

Design Accuracy: Automatically compensate welding distortions

   With very few exceptions it is not possible to generate dense material
   without at the same time inducing residual stresses and deformations
   resulting from the weld processes of additive manufacturing. Amphyon is
   able to simulate these deformations with very good approximation quality
   as long as thermal stability during the process is ensured. These
   deformation values additionally enable to compensate for the deformations,
   providing the possibility to generate almost distortion free parts.

Process stability: Determine critical stages during the process

   Instead of developing the final design and the support structure using an
   experiment based trial and error approach, Amphyon enables to determine
   potentially critical areas and deficient supports without the need for
   expensive test processes. Additionally, the simulation model provides
   estimates for the resulting residual stresses within the part after the
   process.

Calibration: Optimize Amphyon for your parameters and process boundaries

   Process distortions depend on process parameters such as layer thickness,
   hatch width, laser power and similar values. However, users often face the
   problem that there is also an influence of aspects that cannot easily be
   integrated into thermo mechanical analysis of weld processes such as a
   different type of machine or a different batch of powder.

   With the aim to provide a means to incorporate all relevant influences
   into a calibration routine that converges in reasonable time, the
   experiment based Amphyon calibration was developed. By simple measurement
   of a few small calibration specimens, all necessary parameters for an
   accurate process simulation are automatically calculated.

Advanced Multi-scale approach: High accuracy on coarse meshes

   Based on years of experience in the simulation of additive manufacturing
   processes, Amphyon incorporates an advanced Multi-scale approach, allowing
   for a very fast mechanical simulation of the process with almost no
   dependency on the FE-mesh resolution. By this approach even very large
   parts can be considered without a need for excessive computational
   capacity.

          Simulations- and Prozesssoftware für Additive Manufacturing

   Mit dem Ziel eines “first-time-right” Prozesses in der additive Fertigung
   bietet Additive Works Softwarelösungen an, die neuartige Analyse- und
   Simulationstools in die Prozesskette von pulverbettbasierten
   Laserschmelzverfahren (LBM, SLM, DMLS, Metal 3D Printing) integrieren.
   Ausgehend von den Problemstellungen und Erfordernissen der industriellen
   additiven Fertigung wurde die Software-Suite Amphyon entwickelt, der ein
   innovativer Ansatz der Prozessvorbereitung zugrunde liegt:

Das ASAP-Prinzip

  Assessment - Simulation - Adaption - Process

   Das ASAP-Prinzip umfasst vier Schritte auf dem Weg zu einem stabilen,
   effizienten und verlässlichen Prozess: Assessment, Simulation, Adaption
   sowie den Prozess an sich. Beim Assessment werden alle möglichen
   Aufbaurichtungen eines Bauteils unter Berücksichtigung ökonomischer und
   physikalischer Aspekte des Prozesses bewertet. Dabei können sowohl auf das
   Design zurückgehende Herausforderungen identifiziert werden als auch eine
   optimale Orientierung für den Aufbau berechnet werden. Durch die direkte
   Integration schneller Simulationswerkzeuge in die auf dem ASAP-Prinzip
   beruhende Prozesskette können zudem geometrische Genauigkeit und die
   Prozessstabilität erhöht werden. Abschließend werden schnelle
   Analysealgorithmen bereitgestellt, welche die Prozesssteuerung durch die
   Neuorientierung von Hatch-Vektoren und die Adaption von Prozessparametern
   hinsichtlich thermischer und mechanischer Aspekte verbessern. Unsere
   Software Amphyon umfasst alle benötigten Tools für die Prozessvorbereitung
   nach dem ASAP-Prinzip und ist für handelsübliche Workstations optimiert.

   General Terms and Conditions     General License Conditions     General
   License Conditions for Software in a Beta state

   ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

General Terms and Conditions (GTC)

  §1 Scope

    1. These terms and conditions apply exclusively. They are the basis for
       all relevant business relations between the Additive Works GmbH and
       its customers - including future ones and including pre-contractual
       negotiations. This is independent of the nature and scope of the
       business relationship.
    2. Customer-submitted differing, complementary or conflicting terms, even
       if advised by the Additive Works GmbH, will neither in whole or in
       part, become part of the contract, even if not explicitly refused in
       individual cases or services that are provided by the Additive Works
       GmbH.

  §2 Quotes / Conclusion of Contract

    1. All quotes of Additive Works GmbH are non-binding, especially with
       regard to price, quantity, delivery and ancillary services, unless it
       is expressly intended something else in the proposal. Contracts come
       into effect only after written order confirmation or actual
       performance and are based solely on their content.
    2. Quotes given to the customer may not, in whole or partially, or in
       edited version be made available to third parties, as long as the
       Additive Works GmbH has not given written consent.
    3. Incurred commitments, agreements, assurances or warranties that staff
       members of the Additive Works GmbH give in connection with the
       conclusion of a contract are valid only after written confirmation of
       the Additive Works GmbH.
    4. Prior to contract conclusion, the customer has to check whether the
       specification of the ordered goods and / or services to his needs and
       wishes. The Additive Works GmbH reserves the right to, even after
       order confirmation, make minor adjustments to specification of its
       quotes, arising from i.e. technical or legal reasons as well as future
       demands of the market.

  §3 Delivery and Service, Buyer‘s Default of Acceptance

    1. The Additive Works GmbH may involve third parties in order to fulfill
       the commitments made.
    2. The contractual specifications on delivery and service times are only
       binding if these have been agreed on in writing to be binding.
       Decisive for compliance with delivery dates and deadlines is the date
       of dispatch from warehouse or factory.
    3. If the Additive Works GmbH has agreed to make advance performance and
       after contract conclusion receives information of circumstances that
       give possibility to significant deterioration in financial position of
       the customer or results likely, then the Additive Works GmbH can at
       its discretion either demand collateral within a reasonable time or
       partial payment against delivery. If this demand is not complied with
       by the customer, Additive Works GmbH is entitled to withdraw from the
       unfulfilled part of the contract. This should be understood in
       addition to possible further legal claims.
    4. If the customer is in default with the acceptance of the ordered
       goods, the Additive Works GmbH is entitled to withdraw from the
       contract after setting a grace period not exceeding 14 days. In case
       of withdrawal, the Additive Works GmbH is entitled to claim damages
       amounting to 25% of the contract, unless the customer can prove a
       lower or Additive Works GmbH prove a higher damage.

  §4 Prices, Payment and Settlement

    1. Prices and other terms and conditions at the time of the contract
       apply according to the price list of Additive Works GmbH, unless
       agreed otherwise. The prices are to be understood as ex works or
       warehouse and are to be understood as a net price plus VAT and
       potential packaging, freight or delivery charges.
    2. The Additive Works GmbH is entitled to make price adjustments to an
       appropriate extent, provided that taxes or other extraneous costs that
       substantially influence the agreed price significantly change later
       than four weeks after conclusion of contract.
    3. The payment is due within 14 days after delivery or service without
       deduction, unless agreed to otherwise. The costs of payment
       transactions are to be borne by the customer. A retention or offset is
       applicable for the customer only insofar his counterclaims are legally
       effective and unchallenged.
    4. In case of exceeding the payment deadline, Additive Works GmbH
       calculates interest on arrears of 8% points above the current base
       rate, unless a higher rate has been agreed to. Additive Works GmbH
       reserves the right to claim further damages for delay.
    5. Incoming payments are used always for the oldest invoice due. The
       acceptance of checks and notes payable is always on account of
       performance only.

  §5 Use of Software, Licenses

    1. All patents, trademarks and other ancillary copyrights to the supplied
       software belong exclusively to the Additive Works GmbH.
    2. The Additive Works GmbH grants the customer after full payment of the
       contract price a non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable
       right to all work results prepared on the basis of the contract with
       Additive Works GmbH for the customer’s own, internal use. The temporal
       scope of this right of use is determined in the license agreement that
       applies.
    3. The right to make copies of the licensed object is limited to the
       installation of the licensed object to a computer system that is
       directly held by the client to fulfill the intended purpose of use,
       and to copying that is necessary for loading, displaying, running,
       transmitting and storing the licensed object as well as to the right
       to create a backup copy of the licensed object by person authorized
       under § 69d Abs. 2 UrhG.
    4. The delivered software may be used only to the extent of the ordered
       and paid for number of working stations and only for internal use.
       Further rights require separate written agreements. The disclosure,
       renting or lending of the software to third parties is expressly
       prohibited. Likewise, it is not permitted to use the software in a
       network, insofar as the use of the software in this way allows usage
       in excess of the number of purchased working station.
    5. The customer is obliged to take appropriate measures to prevent
       unauthorized access to the purchased software by third parties.
       Modification, editing, translation, reverse engineering as well as
       using the software as the basis of another software or publication are
       not permitted.
    6. The customer may not perform any reverse engineering, disassembly,
       decompile the Software or contract a third party to do so, unless such
       is allowed in accordance to § 69e para. 1 no. 1-3 UrhG and § 69e para.
       2 no. 1-3 UrhG.

  §6 Reservation of Proprietary Rights

    1. The Additive Works GmbH reserves ownership of delivered goods until
       full payment of the price. If the client is not an end-consumer, the
       above reservation applies until full payment of all claims that came
       into effect from the business relationships as well as claims arising.
    2. The reserved goods must be stored properly and professionally by the
       customer. Furthermore, they are to be sufficiently insured against
       risks of damage, particularly by fire, water, theft and unauthorized
       access. The customer assigns the respective claims of the respective
       insurance contracts with the conclusion of contract to Additives Works
       GmbH.
    3. In the event of late payment, likely cessation of payment or other
       breaches of contract by the customer, the Additive Works GmbH is
       entitled to arrange a return of the reserved goods at expense of the
       customer or to claim the reassignment of any claims the customer has
       against third parties to Additive Works GmbH.
    4. If reserved goods are used by third parties, the customer shall inform
       these third parties of the reservation of proprietary rights of the
       Additive Works GmbH and point this out without delay.

  §7 Transfer of Risk, Defects Liability

    1. The software given out by Additive Works GmbH is essentially according
       to the product description. Warranty claims are not applicable in case
       of insignificant deviation from the agreed or assumed quality or minor
       disturbances for usability. Product descriptions are not guaranteed
       without prior written agreement. For updates, upgrades and new version
       supplies the warranty claims are limited to the new features of the
       update, upgrade or new version supplied, compared to the previous
       version.
    2. If the customer demands supplementary performance due to a defect,
       Additive Works GmbH has the right to choose between repair,
       replacement or compensation. If the customer of Additive Works GmbH,
       after a first unsuccessful time-limit, sets a further appropriate
       time-limit, and if this also passes without result, or if a reasonable
       number of subsequent improvements, provided replacements or
       replacement attempts have remained unsuccessful, the customer can to
       his choice either withdraw from the contract or reduce payments and
       demand damages or compensation, in accordance with the legal
       conditions. The supplementary performance can also have the form of
       the supply or installation of a new program version or a workaround.
       If the defect does not affect functionality or only in a negligible
       scope, Additive Works GmbH is under exclusion of further warranty
       claims entitled to remove the defect by delivery of a new version or
       an update in line with its version, update and upgrade planning.
    3. Defects are to be reprimanded by a comprehensible description of the
       error indications, as far as possible evidenced by written records,
       hard copies or other documents that illustrate the defects in writing.
       The notice of defects should enable the reproduction of the error. The
       customer’s legal inspecting obligations and the requirement to give
       notice of defects remain unaffected.
    4. The statute of limitations for warranty claims is 12 months. The
       period begins with delivery of the first copy of the licensed object
       including the user's guide. In the case of delivery of updates,
       upgrades and new versions this period begins again for each part with
       delivery.
    5. The customer examines the delivered goods immediately for any
       transport damage or other external defects, secures appropriate
       evidence and cedes potential claims of recourse to Additive Works GmbH
       with delivery of the respective documents.
    6. Claims for damages are subject to the restrictions of §8.
    7. If the defect is based on the defectiveness of a supplier’s product
       and this supplier is not working as an agent for Additive Works GmbH,
       but merely passes-through a third-party product to the customer on
       behalf of Additive Works GmbH, the warranty claims of the customer are
       initially limited to the ceding of warranty claims that Additive Works
       GmbH has against his supplier to the customer. This does not apply if
       the defect is attributable to improper handling of the supplier’s
       product by the customer. If the customer cannot assert his warranty
       claims against the supplier out of court, the subsidiary warranty for
       defects of additives Works GmbH remains unaffected.
    8. Changes or enhancements to the services or goods delivered, that the
       customer makes himself or orders a third party to do, void any
       warranty claims of the customer, unless the customer can prove that
       the change or extension is not causal for the defect. Additive Works
       GmbH also is not liable for defects that are caused by improper usage
       and operating conditions, or the use of unsuitable equipment by the
       customer.
    9. Additive Works GmbH may refuse subsequent performance until the
       customer has paid the agreed remuneration, reduced by the part
       corresponding to the economic significance of the defect, to Additive
