In this video walkthrough, we demonstrate the power of FormFlow to optimise a cantilever which is subject to both mechanical and thermal loads. We methodically go through the process of setting up our optimisation strategy to understand how the individual physics affect the geometry before combining them both into a single optimisation.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a class of manufacturing methods that has unique capabilities allowing users to vary material properties throughout the component. This can be done by changing the constituent material or its finer structure using lattices or various processing parameter inside the slicing software. FormFlow is the latest addition to optimise your components using this…

By Alexander Pluke, CEO Additive Flow That is the question. The pertinent question for users of additive manufacturing, at least. So you’ve printed a part and it’s failed. FAILED! Why? How could this be? You’ve meticulously gone through all the steps you should. Drawn up your CAD model, loaded up the design domain, ran it…
Additive Flow formally introduces its multi-functional optimisation software with simultaneous, multi-property capabilities. 26thFebruary 2020; London, UK: Many new companies evolve during their infancy in stealth mode, emerging into the light when their product and/or service offering is demonstrably strong enough to impact its target market and withstand close scrutiny from potential customers and, of course, any…
Overview Additive Flow makes it simple to harness the potential of additive manufacturing – as exemplified by this collaborative project with Royal HaskoningDHV and DSM — by optimising the design and production workflow; in this case for high value, large scale additive manufacturing. Project Additive Flow worked with Royal HaskoningDHV and DSM to deliver a…
Each year the Institute of New Vehicle Concepts, of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) hosts WerkstoffPlus + Auto (Materials + Auto) Additive Flow had the pleasure of speaking at WerkstoffPlus + Auto last week, on a stage graced by leaders of the German automobile industry and research institutes. Alexander Pluke, Additive Flow’s CEO presented our compelling technology,…
Additive Flow was proudly selected for the Machine Intelligence Garage which is an initiative by Digital Catapult. As part of this program we received their expert advice around scalable implementation of machine learning within our technology. We were also granted access to one of UK’s most powerful supercomputers located in at the University of Edinburgh (EPCC). See below…
By Alexander Pluke Today, the conversation concerning additive manufacturing (AM) is moving on apace. As there are more and more success stories associated with the use of AM as a production technology, scrutiny on the process is becoming increasingly forensic in nature, and there is an understandable focus on the areas that the technology must improve…
