Thermal Intelligence, Native Inside AdaOne
Helio's physics-based thermal simulation and toolpath optimization are now available directly inside Adaxis AdaOne — the all-in-one software for robotic additive manufacturing.
No file exports, no context switching. Run simulations and optimizations on your pellet-extrusion toolpaths without leaving AdaOne.
The problem with large prints
In large-format pellet extrusion, every failed print costs hours of machine time and kilograms of material. Thermal issues — warping, delamination, hot spots — are the primary cause, and they're invisible until it's too late.
- High deposition rates create steep thermal gradients across large geometries.
- Layer times vary dramatically — a thin feature cools very differently from a thick wall.
- Trial-and-error is expensive when a single print can run for 10+ hours.
- Process engineers spend weeks tuning speeds for every new geometry or material.
How Helio + AdaOne solves it
Helio models the full thermal history of your print and then optimizes per-road speeds to keep the process within safe thermal bounds — all from within AdaOne.
- Simulate thermal behaviour before printing to see where risk builds.
- Optimize toolpath speeds — speed up safe zones, slow down critical ones.
- Reduce total print time while maintaining bond quality and dimensional accuracy.
- One workflow: toolpath, simulate, optimize, and export — all in AdaOne.
Simulate & Optimize Without Leaving AdaOne
No file handoffs. No extra software windows. Helio runs inside AdaOne so your team stays in a single workflow from toolpath setup to optimized print.
- Run thermal simulations on AdaOne toolpaths with one click
- View per-road thermal risk maps overlaid on your geometry
- Generate optimized speed profiles ready for export to the robot
Fewer Failed Prints
See thermal hot spots, weak bond zones, and warping risk before the print starts. Catch problems that would otherwise surface hours into a build.
Faster Cycle Times
Helio identifies where you can safely increase speed without compromising quality — so total print time drops without adding risk.
Repeatable Production
Move from trial-and-error tuning to physics-based process parameters. Lock in settings that work, then replicate them across jobs and geometries.
Jump straight to the LFAM Dashboard
AdaOne links directly to the Helio LFAM web dashboard at lfam.helioadditive.com — giving you a full-featured analysis environment for deeper dives beyond the embedded plugin.
- Review layer-by-layer speed profiles and thermal history across the full build
- Compare simulation runs, track optimization progress, and export reports
- Manage jobs, materials, and machine configurations in one place
Works with your hardware
AdaOne supports ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, FANUC, and custom kinematic systems. Helio already supports a wide range of materials, and for anything not yet covered we can characterize your material quickly — so the integration works across pellet-extrusion setups from R&D cells to production lines.
- Robot-agnostic: ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, FANUC, and more.
- Built for pellet extrusion: optimized for large-format polymer and composite printing.
- Wide material support: Helio covers a growing range of polymers and composites — and we can characterize new materials on request.
