 <p>Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division, a leading provider of manufacturing technology solutions, has unveiled its latest innovation, the Advanced Compensation technology specifically designed for metal 3D printing. The novel technology is anticipated to be available to all existing Simufact Additive customers starting from the first quarter of 2025.</p>
 <p>The distinctive aspect of this technology is its potential to blend process simulation with geometry compensation which is vital in guaranteeing that large or intricate metal parts deform into their predefined shape during the printing process. The cutting-edge solution is compatible with Hexagon's Simufact Additive software and VGSTUDIO MAX technology. This integration equips users with the capability to perform actions on parts and compensate print-ready meshes with the help of 3D scan data. Based on the information provided by Hexagon, the introduction of the new technology will empower manufacturers to attain surface profiles that are between 98% and 100% within the acceptable tolerance range. Other projected benefits of the technology include reduction in material waste and a decrease in support structures.</p>
