Virtually testing parts and optimizing part performance using SmartSlice

Vault Your Manufacturing Process to the Future with SmartSlice

By utilizing SmartSlice, RE Suspension, an automotive industry leader in advanced suspension technology, was able to better optimize performance, while also successfully testing their parts all from a virtual platform. Due to the demanding nature of their applications within the motorsports industry, parts frequently fail and require reiteration. When they tested SmartSlice, there was an immediate realization of the potential impact it could have on their additive manufacturing workflow and ability to configure parts for the FFF process.

This study successfully provides real-world examples of how SmartSlice can help to solve a multitude of challenges, all while adhering to different demands and requirements. Upon using SmartSlice, users will be able to find answers to questions about the functionality of parts like:

• What build material is suitable for the intended application?
• What is an appropriate infill density and how thick should the walls be?
• Which build orientation is strongest based on potential forces being applied to the part?
