24 COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS OCTOBER 2017 MTC DEVELOPS SIMULATION APP TO REVOLUTIONIZE DESIGN FOR ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED PARTS The Manufacturing Technology Centre takes a new approach to part design and interdisciplinary research, using simulation and computational apps to support teams across the company. By LEXI CARVER ONE OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGES IN DESIGNING high-precision parts is being able to quickly fabricate them in a repeatable way to meet very tight specifications. If you’re designing aircraft engine fuel injectors, for instance, you need precisely measured parts in order for airplane machinery to perform properly and for passengers to entrust their safety to the airline. In order to achieve this, engineers must often optimize not only a specific part, but the man
