Ansys, Pitt Collaborate for Additive Manufacturing

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Engineering software developer Ansys Inc. has partnered with the University of Pittsburgh to advance additive manufacturing.

The two entities aim to solve industry problems such as unexpected metal melting and stress deformities. Lab workers will have access to the Ansys portfolio, enabling them to explore, simulate and analyze solutions for stress and fatigue on critical components that go into products such as airplanes, cars and medical devices.

As part of the partnership, the university is opening a 1,200-sq-ft additive manufacturing lab in the Swanson School of Engineering. The Ansys Additive Manufacturing Research Laboratory is equipped with advanced additive manufacturing devices that utilize metals, alloys, polymers and other materials to laser print components for nearly every industry. The partnership will also support faculty and students conducting collaborative research with Ansys and other industry partners including those in the biomedical, aerospace and defense industries.

Glossary
additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a manufacturing process that involves creating three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer. This is in contrast to traditional manufacturing methods, which often involve subtracting or forming materials to achieve the desired shape. In additive manufacturing, a digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and this digital model is then sliced into thin cross-sectional layers. The...
