The manuals listed below form the Additive Solutions product documentation set.

LPBF Simulation Guide - Explains the process of setting up a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) simulation using Workbench Additive in the Mechanical application.
DED Simulation Guide - Describes how to perform a DED Process simulation using the DED Process Add-on in Mechanical. Directed energy deposition is an additive manufacturing process in which a laser or electron beam creates a melt pool on previously solidified material where blown powder or fed wire is introduced to add material.
LPBF Calibration Guide - Includes instructions for performing a calibration for the Mechanical Application so that Laser Powder Bed Fusion simulations are more accurate. Calibration ensures accurate accounting for the differences between measured and simulated deformation.
Sintering Simulation Guide - Describes how to perform a sintering simulation using the Sintering Process Add-on in Mechanical.
Sintering Calibration Guide - Provides guidelines for collecting experimental data and calibrating a sintering material.
Distortion Compensation Guide - Guide for using the Distortion Compensation Add-on, which automatically iterates through solutions and generates an optimized compensation geometry so that after loading or processing, a geometry deforms to within the desired tolerance range. Use the Distortion Compensation Add-on for LPBF and sintering simulations.
Additive Manufacturing Release Notes - Provides access to the release notes.
