Looking to exploit the benefits of engineering with lattice structures? Altair® Inspire™ enables teams to cut product development and additive manufacturing costs by reducing material usage, print times, and post-processing. Altair® Inspire™ Print3D provides a fast, accurate toolset for the design and process simulation of metal binder jetting and powder bed fusion type processes. Independent of the printer type, designers can easily explore and modify critical process variables to evaluate design performance. Further manufacturing process analyses can be performed via premier third-party tools available through the Altair Partner Alliance (APA).

Altair® Inspire™ Mold is a modern, integrated software to streamline design for manufacturing (DfM) of injection molded components. Fast, accurate simulations answer the question "will it fill?" for even large, complex parts in under an hour. Identify potential manufacturing defects early in the development process and make better, more informed design decisions. Leap from manufacturing "know how" to "know why," deliver superior products, reduce scrap, and slash tooling rework costs.

Altair’s offering includes a fast casting process simulation software that allows the user to enhance and optimize their manufactured components in order to avoid typical casting defects. Altair® Inspire™ Cast is a simulation environment focused on creating high-quality components with increased profitability through a highly intuitive user experience catering to beginners and experts alike. Additional casting simulations products are accessible through the APA.

Altair® Inspire™ Form is a sheet metal forming simulation software that enables users to optimize their products for manufacturing, with the consideration of early formability, material utilization, and cost. Cold and hot sheet metal forming, tube bending, hydroforming, and composite forming are supported. Run early manufacturing feasibility analysis within seconds or perform advanced process validation, optimization, and virtual try-outs leveraging an accurate, highly-scalable solution.

Every extrusion company is looking to eliminate costly prototypes and reduce redesign cycles. With Altair, advanced physics simulations are now accessible to organizations of all sizes. Altair® Inspire™ Extrude is a simulation solution for both metal and polymer extrusion. It helps achieve productivity gains by reducing product development costs and improving extrusion quality, increasing production yield. Lower scrap rates can be achieved by exploring process improvements on a virtual press.

Altair® EDEM™ software is used by top-tier process manufacturing companies worldwide in the pharmaceutical, chemical, consumer packaged goods, and asphalt industries to optimize the performance of equipment handling and processing bulk solids. EDEM enables companies to accurately simulate and analyze the behavior of particles, from powders to tablets, providing key information on processes otherwise difficult or sometimes impossible to measure.

Rigid and flexible polyurethane foams, also known as cellular or expanded polymers, surround us. Their important attributes like lightweight, adaptable strength per unit weight, and insulation characteristics, as well as their inherently high sustainability make them attractive for an increasingly wide range of industrial and household applications.

Altair® Inspire™ PolyFoam provides a modern integrated approach to streamline DfM of flexible molded foam components and rigid foam panels.

Run DfM checks early in the development cycle with Altair® Pollex™. Increase efficiency of printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, assembly, and end-of-line testing, with the export of fabricating, mounting, paneling, and testing data to production line machinery.

PollEx is not just a PCB verification tool, it is solution that accelerates the development of today’s smart, connected, and tightly packaged electronic products.

Composite material behavior is defined as components are manufactured. Develop and simulate multiscale heterogeneous material models with Altair® Multiscale Designer™, while assuring manufacturability with draping and forming simulation for sandwich and multilayered laminates combining Altair and APA third-party products.

For engineered plastics, Altair® SimLab® includes a very accurate simulation of fiber orientation during filling and analysis of the structural performance of the complete assembly.
