ANSYS acquires 3DSIM for undisclosed fee

ANSYS are an engineering simulation software developer, and has acquired 3DSIM who create software to simulate 3D printing. Their products, such as their exaSIM software, allow users to predict and identify areas that may come under stress in production. This avoids build failures without requiring printing. It is thought that ANSYS will use this to offer customers a complete additive manufacturing simulation through their software.
