Industry
From prototype to cost-controlled serial production
Additive manufacturing in automotive rarely fails on the technology. It fails on the unit cost calculation. Predictable processes are what let a part reach serial production at all.
What makes this industry difficult
As long as every build job is its own experiment, no unit price can be quoted. Failed builds, iteration loops and manual rework make cost per part something you only know after the build.
What GENESIS does
Where the physics pays off
Unit costs you can quote
Deterministic calculation instead of iterative test runs — the cost is known before the build, not after.
Shorter lead times
Fewer iteration loops shorten the path from data to delivered part by up to 70 %.
Higher machine utilisation
Capacity not spent on rework is capacity available for production — up to 50 % more utilisation.

What you are trying to solve
Support-free printingSupport structures are not a design feature. They are a consequence of uncontrolled heat — and steering heat flow before the build removes most of the need for them.Distortion controlDistortion does not happen at random. It follows the heat distribution in the part — and that can be computed and influenced before the build.Process stabilityOn high-power machines, thin walls and sharp corners have forced a compromise: productivity or quality. Locally controlled laser power removes that trade-off.Serial productionSerial production starts where unit costs can be calculated. Deterministic process behaviour is the precondition — and the point at which prototyping becomes production.QualificationBringing a new machine and material combination into service is normally a project. With GENESIS it is a calibration with a clearly defined scope.
Frequently asked questions
At what volume does this pay off?
The lever is repetition: the more often the same build job runs, the more every saved support and avoided failed build compounds. In the serial case calculated, payback came in under a month.
Do we have to change machines?
No. GENESIS is open to machines and materials and writes build jobs for the leading LPBF platforms. If yours is missing, we build the interface.
How does it fit our existing process chain?
As a desktop application it replaces build preparation. Through the GENESIS API the same logic runs automated inside an existing pipeline.
What changes for design?
Less designing around supports. More of the original design intent survives into the printed part.
