Ultrasim® 3D Simulation (FEA)
Be sure that your 3D printed design works
No strings attached!
Why Ultrasim® 3D Simulation (FEA)?
Ultrasim® 3D Simulation (FEA) helps speed up the engineering process, shortens the testing phase, and increases confidence in part performance using a digital twin of your part. BASF has more than 20 years of experience in simulation, coming from traditional injection molding and continuously developing for Additive Manufacturing.
