There are three major applications Amphyon and its modules focus on: help designers to learn how to deal with AM and its issues, help researchers to study process physics by numerical simulation and help production to optimize pre-processing and build data within a few steps.

About Additive Works GmbH

Additive Works GmbH was founded by four interdisciplinary professionals in late 2015. As a spin-off company of ISEMP, University of Bremen, Additive Works combines state-of-the-art scientific approaches with application-oriented software engineering to offer innovative software solutions for simulation based additive processes.

All activities of Additive Works focus on one general mission: To provide highly usable solutions for first time right additive manufacturing and take this technology to the next level. The growing team of Additive Works started with four motivated scientists and entrepreneurs. It combines essential skills in physical modelling, software development and algorithm optimization with years of experience in simulation and control of additive manufacturing. Especially the diversity in scientific backgrounds within the team provides the flexibility, innovation, and agility necessary for solving the complex and manifold difficulties of this marvelous yet challenging process.

Amphyon is available through the Altair Partner Alliance.

"Amphyon efficiently helps us to better control and understand the additive manufacturing process. This enables us to apply the technology in aerospace much quicker.”

-Stefan Hermann
Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH
