Who is Brent Stucker ?
AdditivePrep Heat maps
machine and material databases to help them in certification of
the process. Our powerful design tools allow use of topology optimization
and generative design processes. Our Material analysis
tools can go down to microscopic levels to simulate the porosity,
density and microstructure of the metal printed parts. This allows
our users to focus more on the product development process for
their products and takes the uncertainty out of the Additive Manufacturing
process itself. ●
Interview by Olivier Guillon
Brent Stucker, Ph.D. is Director of Additive Manufacturing
(AM) at Ansys. He is the co-founder and former CEO of 3DSIM,
