Dyndrite Joins NMIS to Advance 3D Metal Printing Research

SEATTLE, WA, Apr 12, 2023 – Dyndrite, providers of the GPU-accelerated computation engine used to create next-generation digital manufacturing hardware and software, announced the company’s new membership with the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS).

Dyndrite will collaborate with researchers from the NMIS Digital Factory focused on developing Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process materials knowledge across multiple industries. The group will work on a variety of R&D projects, from assessing fatigue strength and corrosion resistance for biomedical applications, to finding the best materials properties for parts used within the energy sector.

With industry-wide members including Infor, Baker Hughes, Fanuc, ATS Global, Sandvik, Skyreal, Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies, Beckhoff, Nikken and Renishaw, Dyndrite joins a fast-growing roster of innovators looking to collaborate on complex additive manufacturing (AM) problems, particularly around expanding available materials and production automation.

“We are delighted to join forces with NMIS and members to develop AM metals materials and explore production automation of LPBF using repeatable build recipes,” said Stephen Anderson, head of strategic relationships Dyndrite. “By removing variation in the print process we showcase how additive manufacturing scales to allow users to make more parts with greater consistency at a lower price. This is the key to unlocking new markets in 3D metal printing. This effort will drive metal AM into a mainstream production process and enable simpler traceability from powder to part.

Dyndrite recently unveiled its first end-user AM application, Dyndrite Materials and Process Development for LPBF. This GPU-based 3D application, designed for engineers and scientists, simplifies and brings automation to the development of metal alloys and parts for laser-based 3D metal printing. It takes maximum advantage of Dyndrite’s groundbreaking Accelerated Computation Engine (ACE), including the ability to query 3D geometry in order to detect and optimize for difficult to print features such as domes, cantilevers, and thin walls. Dyndrite’s LPBF application increases print throughput, speeds development, and lowers part costs. Users can also create and share build recipes (Python) that provide all the information required to recreate a build and drive the manufacturing process. Dyndrite’s LPBF application outputs to the leading 3D metal printers including Aconity3D, EOS, Renishaw, SLM and others.

“We’re excited to welcome Dyndrite as our newest NMIS member, where they will be working with our Additive team,” said Stephen Fitzpatrick, director NMIS Digital Factory. “Dyndrite is a leading provider of 3D software for engineering, and manufacturing applications. Our deployment will immediately help develop and grow our AM materials capabilities. Over the next year, we aim to collaborate on research projects that showcase novel additive use cases within process qualification and calibration and automated production lines. We look forward to getting started.”

About Dyndrite

Dyndrite’s mission is to fundamentally change how geometry is created, transformed and transmitted on a computer. Their Accelerated Computation Engine (ACE) is the world’s first (geometry agnostic), multi-threaded, GPU-accelerated Geometry Engine. They create and license tools that give companies the power, freedom and control necessary to deliver on the potential of digital manufacturing.

Dyndrite democratizes access to a hyper-scalable, geometry-agnostic set of digital manufacturing software tools that deliver eyebrow-raising performance. The company’s team of mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers exists to help our partners and customers solve the toughest geometry, compute and automation problems so they can deliver AM production at scale. We aim to ignite their purpose.

Investors include Gradient Ventures, Google’s AI-focused Investment Fund and former Autodesk CEO Carl Bass. The company was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Seattle, WA. Dyndrite was named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer for 2021.
