Dyndrite announces partnership with Additive Industries and strategic collaboration with Ansys
RECODE.AM #18
Over the past week, Dyndrite has announced three key collaborations, the latest of which marks a truly significant milestone.
First, the American AM software provider partnered with Phasio to create a fully automated workflow for HP’s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing systems (which I described here).
Then, the company announced a partnership with Dutch manufacturer Additive Industries, followed two days ago by an even more important agreement with Ansys, part of Synopsys and a global leader in engineering simulation.
This is a true offensive by Dyndrite, aimed at strengthening its position on the market and providing users with more comprehensive tools to support production in both metal and polymer additive manufacturing.
Collaboration with Additive Industries
Dutch company Additive Industries is the manufacturer of the industrial MetalFab metal 3D printing systems. This partnership enables Additive Industries’ customers to use Dyndrite LPBF Pro software, which provides advanced capabilities in toolpath generation, process automation, and build qualification.
MetalFab is a platform used by customers in highly demanding sectors—from aerospace, through defense, to energy. In these industries, every gram of material, along with reliability and process repeatability, is of critical importance.
Thanks to the integration with LPBF Pro, users gain the ability to precisely adapt manufacturing parameters to local geometric features, resulting in improved part quality and greater confidence in certification processes.
A joint research project between the two companies demonstrated how the system can automatically detect wall thicknesses in a model and assign appropriate exposure parameters to them. The results of this work will be presented at the ICAM 2025 conference.
Collaboration with Ansys
On Monday, September 29, Dyndrite announced a new, strategic partnership with Ansys, a Synopsys company known for developing advanced simulation tools used in materials engineering, mechanics, and electronics.
The collaboration focuses on integrating Ansys simulation software for thermal process analysis with Dyndrite LPBF Pro.
The goal of this integration is to create a workflow that allows engineers to predict and control thermal phenomena in metal Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) processes.
Manufacturers have long faced challenges in predicting thermal distortion, residual stresses, and microstructural variability. For large, complex, and mission-critical components—such as rocket engine parts, energy sector components, or defense structures—accurate forecasting of material behavior is not only a technical requirement but also a matter of safety.
The new integration aims to reduce risk by simulating material behavior before printing begins, which in turn reduces the number of costly trial builds, accelerates part qualification, and lowers production costs.
Through Dyndrite’s Python API, users will be able to codify proven strategies and replicate them across different machines and sites.
Future development efforts are expected to go even further, enabling the direct use of simulation results to generate toolpath strategies—taking into account regional parameters, overhang geometries, and stress mitigation.
Dyndrite was founded in 2015 in Seattle by Harshil Goel. From the outset, its ambition has been to fundamentally redefine how geometry is created, transformed, and transmitted in a digital environment. Its core technology is the Accelerated Computation Engine (ACE), the world’s first multi-threaded, GPU-accelerated, geometry-agnostic computation engine.
ACE allows companies designing and manufacturing additively produced parts to process data more efficiently, precisely control processes, and automate repetitive tasks. From the very beginning, Dyndrite has focused on delivering tools that provide users with greater freedom, control, and computational power—essential to unlocking the full potential of digital manufacturing.
