Full-physics process simulation · Polymer FDM

Print to tolerance, first time.

Material-Sim predicts where your part will warp and pre-corrects the geometry — so you skip the trial and error, and the good part is in your hand days and iterations sooner, for a fraction of the material and machine time.

What it solves

Catch the problems before the plate

Every scrapped print comes down to a few things going wrong as the part cools. Material-Sim sees them first.

Warping

Parts that miss tolerance

Residual stress builds as the part cools and pulls it off nominal. Material-Sim predicts the finished shape and pre-distorts the geometry so it prints back onto drawing.

Performance

Parts that come out weak

Cooling rate sets crystallinity, and crystallinity sets strength, stiffness and shrinkage. Know what the printer actually made — not what the datasheet promised.

Scrap

Prints that fail on the plate

Overhangs, layers that never cool before the next arrives, regions that stay soft too long — caught before you commit filament and machine time.

How it works

Nominal G-code in compensated G-code out

Give it your part and a process cycle — print, cool, release, anneal — and solve. Meshing is automatic, the solve runs in the cloud, and results open in the browser as a link you can share.

geometry → material → process → solve → compensate → results

Why Material-Sim

Accurate enough to trust — then it fixes the part

The right physics for polymer FDM, coupled properly — and the practical pieces that make it usable every day.

First time right

It compensates, not just predicts

Most tools stop at "your part will warp." Material-Sim pre-distorts the geometry and re-solves until the print lands in tolerance — a corrected file, not just a warning.

Full physics

The right physics for polymers

A properly coupled thermo-mechanical solve — semi-crystalline materials, the layer-by-layer thermal history, and the way the part moves as it cools. The class of model aerospace trusts on composites, pointed at your printer.

Fewer prints

Get it right before the bed

Iterate on the geometry in simulation instead of burning plates, filament and machine hours. The in-tolerance part lands sooner, for a fraction of the cost of trial and error.

No mesh wrangling

Automatic 3D meshing

Import a STEP file and go. No node placement, no element quality to babysit — the mesh is built for you from the geometry.

Material library

Characterised, and honest about it

Polymers from PLA to PEEK, each with a full temperature-dependent model — and every value labelled measured, literature or assumed, with its source.

Cloud native

Everything in the browser

No desktop install, no license server. Compute and storage run on secure cloud infrastructure, and every result is a link you can hand to a colleague.

Early access

We're onboarding early teams

Run a part through it. If the prediction is useful, we'll set your team up with projects, cloud solves and shareable results. Ask us about pricing — it scales with what you run.
