皇家帝斯曼宣布在Digimat-AM中增加四種增材制造（AM）等級，這是由2017年JEC創新獎，2018年JEC亞洲創新獎和2018年CAMX綜合卓越獎終入圍者頒發的e-Xstream解決方案。

　　帝斯曼為Digimat增加3D打印等級，加速聚合物添加劑制造

　　的采用DSM高性能AM等級與e-Xstream精確打印過程模擬解決方案的結合將使制造商和終用戶能夠在使用DSM打印材料之前識別制造問題3D打印熱塑性牌號。Digimat-AM使他們能夠在不浪費時間和成本的情況下使用高質量的材料，因為他們避免了數百次試驗和錯誤，并有機會在時間打印它。

　　“帝斯曼是一個長期的合作伙伴，現在我們非常高興能夠聯手進一步加速聚合物添加劑制造的采用。將DSM材料的產品組合與Digimat建模技術相結合，可以以合理的成本在許多應用中展示3D打印的優勢，“e-Xstream工程業務開發經理Guillaume Boisot說。

　　帝斯曼增材制造固體產品經理Nirali Surati評論道：“增材制造正在迅速從原型制造轉變為主流制造。重要的推動因素之一是能夠預測應用中3D打印部件的行為和性能。得益于與e-Xstream Engineering的合作，我們的客戶現在可以使用工具箱來設計和預測可靠的部件，并具有應用所需的性能。“

　　帝斯曼是向客戶提供此產品的少數AM材料公司之一。

　　在下一個Digimat 2019.0版本中，這些材料的數字雙胞胎將作為Digimat材料模型提供，以在Digimat增材制造解決方案中執行FFF過程模擬和零件性能預測。將這些等級添加到Digimat材料數據庫將有助于工程師優化材料，打印機和零件，而所需時間和成本僅為傳統構建和測試方法的一小部分。Digimat仿真提供的精確度提高，使DSM AM材料終端用戶可以減少重量，成本和產品上市時間，同時減少材料測試和原型設計要求。

　　帝斯曼在Digimat-AM數據庫中添加了四種3D打印等級：

　　Novamid ID 1030是一種高品質的聚酰胺6 /聚酰胺66，其獨特的性能使零件在剛度，模量和沖擊性能之間取得了良好的平衡。Novamid ID1030易于印刷，零件具有優異的夾層強度和高表面質量。

　　Novamid ID 1030 -CF10，1％碳纖維增強PA6 / 66燈絲，設計用于印刷功能原型和工業零件。其出色的機械性能和光滑的表面外觀使其成為各種應用的理想選擇，這些應用要求在高溫（HDT高達180°C）下具有強大的機械性能或在各種市場中輕量化應用

　　Novamid ID 1070，一種PA6，由于采用獨特的共聚物技術，具有非常好的機械性能。該技術由于高結晶度和非常高的層間強度而提供高剛度，適用于PA6中要求苛刻的堅固部件。

　　Arnite ID 3040，一種高性能工程塑料，結合了高強度和抗沖擊性以及出色的加工特性。Arnite ID 3040的熔點為255°C，非常適合廣泛的汽車，電氣和電子消費品應用。

　　“我們非常高興能與帝斯曼合作，對其高性能FFF等級進行表征和仿真，以應對當今AM行業面臨的主要挑戰：AM聚焦數值模擬模型和工具的需求。與AM行業的先驅者合作也將有助于不斷改進我們的Digimat增材制造模擬。近AM的聯合努力終加強了e-Xstream和DSM之間長期有益的合作。“ - e-Xstream工程增材制造業務開發工程師Olivier Lietaer說。
 

　　The combination of DSM’s high-performance AM grades with e-Xstream’s accurate printing process simulation solution will allow manufacturers and end-users to identify manufacturing issues before printing their material using DSM 3D printing thermoplastic grades.

　　DSM adds 3D-printing grades to Digimat to accelerate adoption of additive manufacturing

　　Royal DSM announces the addition of four additive manufacturing (AM) grades into Digimat-AM, an e-Xstream solution awarded by JEC World Innovation Award 2017, JEC Asia Innovation Award 2018 and finalist of ACE Award for Composite Excellence at CAMX 2018.

　　DSM adds 3D-printing grades to Digimat to accelerate adoption of polymer additive manufacturing

　　The combination of DSM’s high-performance AM grades with e-Xstream’s accurate printing process simulation solution will allow manufacturers and end-users to identify manufacturing issues before printing their material using DSM 3D printing thermoplastic grades. Digimat-AM enables them to work on high quality materials without wasting time and cost since they avoid hundreds of trials and errors and have the opportunity to print it first time right.

　　“DSM is a long-term partner and now we are very excited to join forces to further accelerate the adoption of polymer additive manufacturing. Combining DSM materials’ portfolio with Digimat modeling technology will allow to demonstrate the advantages of 3D printing in many applications at affordable costs”, says Guillaume Boisot, Business Development Manager at e-Xstream engineering.

　　Nirali Surati, Product manager Additive Manufacturing Solids at DSM commented: “Additive manufacturing is quickly evolving from prototyping into mainstream manufacturing. One of the most important enablers is the capability to predict the behavior and performance of 3D printed parts in applications. Thanks to the collaboration with e-Xstream Engineering our customers now have the toolbox to design and predict reliable parts with the performance required for their application.”

　　DSM is one of the few AM material companies to offer this to their customers.

　　In the next Digimat 2019.0 release, the digital twins of these materials will be available as Digimat material models to perform FFF process simulation and part performance prediction in the Digimat Additive Manufacturing Solution. The addition of these grades to the Digimat material database will help engineers to optimize materials, printers and parts in a fraction of the time and cost of the traditional build and test method. The improved accuracy provided by Digimat simulation makes it possible for DSM AM materials end-users to reduce weight, cost and time-to-market while reducing material testing and prototyping requirements.

　　DSM added four 3D printing grades into Digimat-AM database:

　　Novamid ID 1030, a high-quality polyamide 6/polyamide 66, whose unique properties enable parts with a good balance between stiffness, modulus and impact properties. Novamid ID1030 is easy to print and parts exhibit excellent interlayer strength and high surface quality.

　　Novamid ID 1030 -CF10, a 1% Carbon fiber reinforced PA6/66 filament designed for printing functional prototyping and industrial parts. Its excellent mechanical properties and smooth surface appearance make it ideal for a very broad range of applications that require robust mechanical performance at elevated temperatures (HDT up to 180°C) or light weight applications in various markets

　　Novamid ID 1070, a premium PA6 with very good mechanical performance due to unique co-polymer technology. This technology offers high stiffness due to high crystallinity and very high interlayer strength for demanding robust parts in PA6.

　　Arnite ID 3040, a high-performance engineering plastics that combines high strength and impact resistance with excellent processing characteristics. With a melting point a 255°C, Arnite ID 3040 is well suited for a broad range of automotive, electrical & electronic consumer goods applications.

　　“We are very excited to work with DSM on the characterization and simulation of their high performance FFF grades to answer a key challenge of today’s AM industry: the need of AM-focus numerical simulation models and tools. Working with a pioneer actor of the AM industry will also help continuously improving our Digimat Additive Manufacturing simulations. This recent joint effort on AM ultimately strengthens the long beneficial collaboration between e-Xstream and DSM.” – says Olivier Lietaer, Business Development Engineer for Additive Manufacturing at e-Xstream engineering.
