Great work Lucija Stepinac !! AlphaSTAR simulation technology for Advanced Materials (Polymer Additive Manufacturing on BAAM application in University of Zagreb/Sveuciliste u Zagrebu) is a clear example how complex, large and difficilut AM printed parts need "virtuakl check" before sending G-Code to printer (Paper at ECCOMAS Composite https://bit.ly/3ueySVC).

Presentation at Formnext - Where ideas take shape 2023. The video spotlights my research at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering, focusing on a topology-optimized bridge deck. The geometry was created using nTop software, and the entire process will be showcased through a comprehensive 3D print simulation, using GENOA GUI+ABAQUS. The video highlights how AlphaSTAR's GENOA revolutionizes additive manufacturing processes: 🔹 Streamlining the process, eliminating costly and time-consuming trial-and-error methodologies. 🔹 Mitigating unexpected final part deformations and residual stresses, ensuring precise outcomes. 🔹 Exerting meticulous control over material microstructure and its related properties. 🔹 Harnessing the potential of the Stratasys + AlphaSTAR Technology solution. 🔹 Enabling the prediction and rectification of part inconsistencies and defects through a Digital Twin (Virtual) AM Part & Material model. 🔹 Offering the capability to rectify defects, deformations, and residual stresses by fine-tuning AM process parameters for controlled material microstructure, including toolpath, AM machine settings, G-Code settings, and more.
