### Additive Processes

#### Powder Bed Fusion (PBF)

**What is it?**
Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) is a metal additive manufacturing technology using a bed of powder with a source of heat to create metal parts.

**How Ansys helps:**
1. Predict the part shape, distortion, and stresses before printing with distortion prediction & compensation capabilities.
2. Auto-generate supports, helping you predict maximum residual stresses that supports must withstand.
3. Melt pool, porosity & microstructure predictions for process parameter development.
4. Best-in-class material properties for powerful analytics to establish the process property relationships.
5. Structural and thermal analysis design validation.

#### Directed Energy Deposition (DED)

**What is it?**
Directed Energy Deposition is a 3D manufacturing process that combines metal feedstock and a laser to fabricate parts.

**How Ansys helps:**
1. Full part thermal mechanical process simulation.
2. Macro level temperature, deformation, strain and stress prediction.
3. Intelligent Gcode commands support.
4. Customizable fidelity-cost balance.
5. Non-planar baseplate compatibility.

#### Metal Sintering

**What is it?**
Metal Sintering micro-welds powdered metals to form metal components.

**How Ansys helps:**
1. Predict shrinkage and bending before printing.
2. Auto-generate supports, helping you predict maximum residual stresses that supports must withstand.
3. Get insight into how parts will behave during a build and take corrective steps to get the details right the first time.
4. Best-in-class material properties to ensure traceability of additive manufacturing data.
5. Check for distortion, stress, and strain regions, predict blade crash.
