Abstract
This paper deals with an experimental analysis of stress prediction and simulation prior to 3D printing via the selective laser melting (SLM) method and the subsequent separation of a printed sample from a base plate in two software programs, ANSYS Addictive Suite and MSC Simufact Additive. Practical verification of the simulation was performed on a 3Dprinted topologically optimized part made of AISI 316L stainless steel. This paper presents a typical workflow for working with metallic 3D printing technology and the state-of-the-art knowledge in the field of stress analysis and simulation of printed components. The paper emphasizes the role of simulation software for additive production and reflects on their weaknesses and strengths as well, with regard to their use not only in science and research but also in practice.Funding Information
