Customized web applications for your own simulations or recurring tasks

Web applications run on servers and can be used with various end devices (cell phone, PC).

We develop individual web applications (WebApps) for you using modern methods of data analysis, numerical simulation and artificial intelligence. The WebApps enable:

  1. Data analysis and visualization at the touch of a button
  2. Physical simulation without prior knowledge
  3. Automated generation of reports

A WebApp differs from an ordinary website in that it enables interactive use of the site and provides the computing power to perform the demanding tasks. Below you will find a list of applications that have already been realized.

Laser powder bed melting of polymers including prediction of temperature distribution and residual porosity.

Laser powder bed melting of polymers - perform your own fast simulations


Want to run your own quick but accurate simulation? We have developed a physical simulation app that allows you to carry out your own parameter studies for laser powder bed fusion of polymers. With this tool, you can efficiently test various process parameters for your material and determine the optimum settings for your machine. This service is available to you free of charge. Do you have other processes for which you need a quick simulation? Please contact us and we will take a look at your process.

Optimum laser intensity compacts the polymer powder completely without damaging it thermally.

Laser powder bed melting of polymers - determining the optimum laser power


The laser intensity determines the energy supply in the system and is therefore an essential parameter: If the intensity is too low, the polymer will not melt; if it is too high, the polymer may degrade. Based on scientific findings, we have developed a WebApp that makes it possible to estimate the optimum laser intensity. With this tool, you can set the laser parameters to achieve the best results for your production process.

During sintering, the components undergo a change in shape. The type and strength of the deformation depends on the temperature profile.

Shape changes of ceramics and metals during sintering


The sintering process of components manufactured using powder technology is significantly influenced by the furnace temperature. We have developed an app designed to calculate the compaction and shape change of components as a function of temperature history. With this tool, you can predict how changes in the furnace temperature will affect the sintering process to optimize it and ensure high component quality.

WebApps enable automated visualization of tabular data.

Visualize laboratory data


Measuring instruments generate raw data. Do you want your team to visualize this data quickly so that decisions can be made immediately? Let's take the example of particle size distributions. These often follow a normal distribution or a logarithmic normal distribution. Our tool makes it possible to determine and visualize the underlying distribution using drag & drop. This allows the distributions to be displayed with just two parameters. This reduces the data to the essentials, allows a quick inspection of the data quality and simplifies the comparison of particle size distributions.

WebApps enable automatic report generation based on the files generated by laboratory instruments.

Automatic report generation


Reporting is necessary to check whether the process went as expected or whether the data is complete. Are you looking for a user-friendly tool for this reporting that works with simple drag & drop? WebApps offer an approach for a standardized evaluation to automate recurring tasks. This example tool demonstrates how clear and well-structured reports can be generated quickly and efficiently from unformatted text files, simplifying the evaluation and presentation of measurement results.
