Helio Additive’s Technology

Scaling additive manufacturing means solving process complexity.

Factors from part geometry, material and printer make the 3D printing process complicated.

Additive manufacturing at scale means solving process complexity that comes at the intersection of materials, printers and geometry.

More than a decade ago the industry tried to solve this with better printers. Then with better materials. But it’s a software problem.

Our team works at the intersection of the three domains physical printing process experiments, polymer physics modeling, and simulation.

We develop high performing thermal process simulations.

We implement physics models that can take thermal history data and turn them into insights.

We validate models using real world experiments and external academic teams.
