Causes of varying bead height
Even along a straight toolpath, heat and melt flow change. Bead height can therefore vary while the parameters stay fixed.
Simulation, demonstrator
Simulation software for laser DED with wire or powder
Articles on melt-pool simulation
The articles go deeper into the method behind the software, from bead geometry to the choice of simulation approach.
Melt-pool simulation with or without a mesh
When the free surface of the melt pool deforms, the cells of a moving computational mesh have to be adapted. A particle method needs no cells.

Let’s talk about your part
In a call we clarify whether the simulation answers your parameter question.
Book a callYou pick the slot on book.synafloat.com.
You talk to Dr. Michael BlankThe founder has researched particle-based melt-pool simulation since 2017 and earned his doctorate in the field.
For the first call
- A short, non-confidential outline of your part and question
- Machine, material, wire or powder
In the pilot project, per enquiry
- Matching the simulation with your experiments
- Parameter strategies for the whole toolpath
- Adjusted machine file
