Overview

Amphyon, developed by Additive Works (now part of Oqton), is a simulation software designed to streamline the pre-processing of metal additive manufacturing, particularly for laser powder bed fusion processes. It helps users to determine the optimal build orientation, generate robust support structures, and simulate the build process to predict and compensate for distortions.

✨ Key Features

  • Automatic orientation optimization
  • Support structure generation and optimization
  • Process simulation for distortion and stress prediction
  • Pre-deformation of parts to compensate for distortion
  • Thermal analysis

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Strong focus on automated orientation and support optimization
  • User-friendly workflow for complex simulation tasks
  • Integration with the broader Oqton manufacturing platform

Unique Value: Automates and simplifies the complex process of preparing metal AM builds, leading to higher success rates and reduced manual effort.

🎯 Use Cases (3)

Preparing complex parts for first-time-right printing Reducing support material and post-processing time Improving the dimensional accuracy of printed parts
