To start the year off right, we take you to Belgium to meet AdditiveLab, our first #3Dstartup this year. Winner of the Start-Up Challenge 2019 organized by Formnext, the company has developed software solutions to simulate the entire additive manufacturing process, and more specifically metal 3D printing. Its software allows any engineer to perform simulations and even if they have no experience in the AM field, they are able to examine any failures that may arise during production. AdditiveLab therefore saves valuable time for production by simplifying the additive manufacturing process. We met with one of its co-founders, Mariam Mir, to learn more about how the software works and its benefits.
3DN: Can you present yourself and tell us more about your link with 3D technologies?
AdditiveLab is a young startup based in Belgium, offering simulation for metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) also known as 3D printing. With AdditiveLab we provide a unique, efficient and scalable AM process simulation solution in the market that addresses the needs of a broad range of users enabling them to solve AM production challenges with different levels of complexity.
Mariam Mir and Christian Rossmann, co-founders of AdditiveLab
3DN: How did the idea of AdditiveLab start?
Our founders have been working in the AM field for over a decade, sharing passion for this manufacturing technology and working closely with people facing issues daily in predicting build behaviours.
