Abstract
This research aims to carry out an optimization process through the new simulation tool in additive manufacturing, specifically the powder bed fusion process. It begins by defining those values to reduce costs and production times for parts. Subsequently, a 17-4PH material tension specimen is simulated to determine the improvements in this manufacturing process using the Additive Manufacture library of ANSY. This software guarantees the optimal and fast printing of the workpiece and helps to predict distortion, produced residual stress, thermal deformation; automatic supports generation, and scanning patterns. In addition, results at the microstructure level, such as the material's porosity and the machine's parameters, can be predicted.
