SEATTLE, WA, USA, Sep 30, 2025 – Dyndrite, providers of next generation industrial software for additive manufacturing, announced a collaboration with Ansys, part of Synopsys, the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems. The two companies will integrate and explore Ansys advanced thermal processing simulation software within Dyndrite LPBF Pro software, creating a powerful workflow, from predicting microstructure to thermal distortion in metal additive manufacturing.
While relevant for all LPBF users, for manufacturers of large, complex, and mission-critical components, such as those used in aerospace, defense, and energy applications, the ability to predict and control thermal behavior is essential.
By bridging Ansys thermal insights with the Dyndrite Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) print preparation process, engineers will be able to:
- Reduce Risk: Anticipate thermal distortion, residual stress, and microstructural variability before printing, lowering the chance of failed builds.
- Accelerate Qualification: Validate process-structure-property relationships digitally, thereby reducing reliance on costly, time-consuming print trials.
- Reduce Costs: Prevent scrapped builds on large-format systems, saving material and machine time.
- Improve Confidence: Ensure mission-critical components meet demanding performance and certification standards.
- Enable Repeatability: Leverage the Dyndrite Python APIs to codify proven strategies and reproduce them across machines, sites, and projects.
Future integration efforts will aim to enable users to leverage high-fidelity simulation results directly within Dyndrite LPBF Pro, enabling per-region toolpath strategies that intelligently assign parameters, manage overhangs, and mitigate stress. The goal is smarter, more reliable builds that fully unlock the potential of today’s most advanced multi-laser metal AM systems.
“Thermal behavior is one of the most significant challenges in metal additive manufacturing,” said Christopher Robinson, Lead Product Manager of Additive Manufacturing at Ansys, part of Synopsys. “Through this partnership, engineers preparing builds on Dyndrite will be able to take advantage of our predictive thermal simulations to inspect and optimize toolpath parameters and trajectory before a single layer is printed.”
“We’re excited to collaborate with Ansys to unlock new capabilities for our customers and theirs,” said Harshil Goel, Founder and CEO of Dyndrite. “By combining Dyndrite’s powerful toolpathing control with Ansys predictive thermal simulations, we can help manufacturers increase confidence and accelerate the adoption of metal AM for mission-critical applications.”
The companies are seeking early LPBF adopters to provide critical feedback as the companies plot the integration. Together, Dyndrite and Ansys aim to validate how simulation-driven build preparation can reduce risk and accelerate the development time of additively manufactured parts.
