The software’s topology optimization operates by transferring designs into an organically shaped part, i.e., generative design, with the aim of reducing manual effort and streamlining workflows.

Complex lightweight metal 3D printed structures. The decision to acquire AMendate to enable a shift towards additive manufacturing is representative of the software’s capabilities.
Now, with the latest acquisition of AMendate by Hexagon, MSC is moving away from offering its customers general purpose optimization technologies, and instead aims to provide an “innovative, purpose built software solution for additive manufacturing”. MSC also offers the Simufact software package, which has a version dedicated to additive manufacturing, as well as other manufacturing processes. Hexagon acquired the company in 2017, adding MSC’s CAE software solution to its product portfolio. MSC was initially founded in 1963, and is considered to be one of the earliest software companies specializing in finite element analysis (FEA) simulation.

With the acquisition of AMendate, Hexagon is aiming to offer its customers a software solution specifically geared towards additive manufacturing under its umbrella: “The AMendate acquisition directly addresses a major obstacle during design for companies shifting to additive manufacturing processes,” explained Paolo Guglielmini, CEO, MSC Software. Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division revealed that AMendate will be joining the MSC Software arm of Hexagon, which provides computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulation software and services. AMendate, a German provider of fully automated topology optimization software for additive manufacturing, has been acquired by Hexagon AB, a Sweden-based global technology company.
