INTRODUCTIONFLUID DYNAMICS AND DESIGN

Key drivers
▪ Design Complexity
▪ Investment/Cost
▪ Speed – concept to reality
Fluid dynamics is the study of fluid flow, including air,
around an object and the resulting forces.
Design can impact the ease with which an object can
travel and accelerate, resulting in improved
performance and less consumption of energy.
Modeling and testing components to validate
computer modeling is a critical part of the design
process

Fluid flow testing is critical to design success but it
is also expensive. Achieving product milestones can
be challenged by factors such as availability of wind
tunnels and the time one has for their use.
Therefore, the modeling step must be efficient,
both in terms of cost and time
Industry drivers
➢Reduce time from concept to product
➢Reduce cost of design and development
➢Improve correlation of analysis to results

FLUID DYNAMICSINDUSTRY PAIN
Additive manufacturing has fundamentally changed
the process for creating models for fluid flow
analysis
➢ Offers significant design freedom and the ability
to quickly iterate designs
➢ Creates more representative models faster
➢ Fine resolution that reduces surface preparation
needed to create a smooth part
➢ Low initial investment required to create models

DSM provides and has the ability to deliver test models
with a superb surface finish and high feature detail
compared with competing technologies. It allows for
eliminating much of the finishing work required with
traditional materials.
PerFORM Reflect demonstrates all the performance
attributes that customers rely on such as low viscosity,
low settling, fast processing and high stiffness and heat
resistance.
Main take-aways
➢ Excellent detail resolution
➢ Faster, easier processing & finishing – Saving up to 40% in time
➢ Superior high heat tolerance
➢ Ability to print with superior sidewall quality
