Evaluate designs by using geometric variables and applying a design-of-experiments (DOE) or optimization method. We
recommend fully constraining your sketch when sketch variables are used in the design exploration.
Print a small part (also called a coupon) to measure the deformation of the material after printing, and use this
data to calibrate the print analysis.
Animate and Record Results
If you've previously run a 3D printing analysis, use the Animation toolbar to animate and record the results.
Result Types for SLM
3D printing analysis for SLM produces results for displacement, Von Mises stress, collision distance, layer shifting, and failure index.
