Traditional consultancy
Expert results, but no reusable model
When you want another variant, you start another project.
Welding, DED, and laser hardening simulation
See what heat will do to your part
Test process changes virtually before the next trial
to reduce distortion, lower residual stresses, and control material properties.
Engineering questions
What can you predict before production?
Typical questions in welding, DED, and laser hardening.
Distortion
How will heating and cooling change the final shape of the part?
Thermal history
What peak temperatures and cooling rates occur throughout the part?
Residual stresses
Where will residual stresses remain after processing?
Phase transformations
Which phases form as the material heats and cools?
Final hardness
How will the thermal cycle change hardness across the part?
Process variants
What changes when you adjust heat input, path, sequence, or clamping?
How it works
A manufacturing problem becomes a reusable simulation model.
- 1
Discuss the case
Tell us about the process and the question you want answered.
- 2
We build and evaluate
We set up and run the simulation, then check the results against available measurements.
- 3
Review together
We discuss what the results mean for your process and what to try next.
- 4
Continue in Heatshape
Inspect results, change parameters, and run new variants.
Why Heatshape
Expertise to get started. A working model to keep going.
Traditional CAE software
Reusable software, but your team builds everything
You need licenses, specialist expertise, and time to set up and validate each case.
Heatshape
Expert setup and a model your team can keep using
Your team starts from a model that is already set up for the case.
Applications
Processes we simulate.
Welding
Arc-based, including MIG/MAG, TIG, and SAW, as well as laser and electron beam welding.
Directed energy deposition
Arc- and laser-based DED, including WAAM and laser metal deposition.
Laser hardening
Laser surface hardening with controlled beam profiles, scan paths, and laser power.
The platform
Your model is ready in the browser.
Prepared for your case
We configure the material models, heat sources, and numerical settings for your case.
Cloud compute
Run simulations on cloud resources, with multiple variants in parallel. No local CAE workstation required.

Let's discuss your simulation case.
A short description of the process and the question is enough. We will review whether simulation can help and suggest a next step.
