246 Improved DED Simulation Introduce Clustering Settings object Improved Gcode reader performance Simulation w/ non-planar base plate Improved distortion prediction algorithm Fig.1 Clustering Settings table • A table which allows import, export, and modifications of machine parameters for each cluster during a DED simulation. Great for optimizing process settings and improving printing quality (e.g., reduce distortion and localized overheating, etc.) Fig.2 Gcode clustering cost before and after improvements • Gcode cluster generation has been optimized to give up to 40x by optimizing the clustering algorithm • Enable DED simulation to consider parts building on non-planar base plates with improved contact generation workflow in wizard. It also provides a way to simulate DED repairing applications • The simulation takes into account of geometry true shape after large deformation to offer a better match to the reality True shape Before improvements After improvements Fig.4 Distortion prediction algorithm improvements Fig.3 DED simulation w/ non-planar base plate Part Base
