Traditional consultancy
An answer for the current case
The consultant builds and evaluates the simulation. When you change the sequence, clamping, or process parameters, you need another engagement.
Welding, DED, and laser hardening simulation
See what heat will do to your part before production
Heatshape predicts temperature fields, distortion, residual stresses, and final material properties. We set up, run, and evaluate the simulation for you. You receive the results and a working model in Heatshape to test process variants.

Engineering questions
What can you learn 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.
We simulate the process with you. You continue working with the model in Heatshape.

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.

Why Heatshape
Expertise to get started. A working model to keep going.
Start with the engineering case, not a software rollout or a one-off study. Expertise, software, and compute come with it.
Traditional CAE software
A simulation workflow you build yourself
Your team licenses the software, builds the expertise, sets up the models, and maintains the simulation workflow internally.
Heatshape
A solved case that becomes a reusable model
We build, run, and evaluate the simulation with you. The model is then available in Heatshape for your team to inspect results, change parameters, and run further variants.
Applications
Processes we simulate.
Welding
Welding
Arc-based welding including MIG/MAG, TIG, and SAW, plus laser and electron beam.
Directed energy deposition
Directed energy deposition
Arc-based and laser-based DED, including WAAM, laser wire and powder deposition.
Laser hardening
Laser hardening
Laser surface hardening with controlled beam profiles, scan paths, and laser power.
The platform
The model lives in the browser.
Prepared for your case
We make sure the material models, heat sources, and numerical settings are right for the case.
Remote compute
Run on many CPUs in the cloud, in parallel. Variants finish faster than on a typical desktop CAE workstation.
Inspect and iterate
See temperatures, stresses, and distortion. Change a parameter and run again.
