French research center selects AlphaSTAR AM software

AlphaSTAR Corp.’s Genoa 3DP simulation software has been selected to model and simulate AM processes performed at IRT Jules Verne, a mutualized industrial research institute in Bouguenais, France.

IRT will use the program to analyze materials, model AM processes, and replicate 3D printing methods for composites, including selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused filament fabrication (FFF).

Genoa 3DP simulates the 3D printing process and predicts the deflection, residual stress, damage initiation, and crack-growth formation associated with the production of as-built AM parts.

Besides simulation, AlphaSTAR, Long Beach, Calif., offers software packages for material modeling and analysis of advanced composite structures used in the aerospace, automotive, defense, and energy industries.
