Denis Akzam's Company Details

P4BUS Systems is a collaborative industrial venture supported by European partners with long experience in Prototyping and 3D Printing. The company has been helping manufacturers assess the impacts and benefits of additive manufacturing (AM), and address the modelling and computational challenges involved in scaling AM processes to an industrial level. It offers novel computational design methods... and a seamless "digital thread" for AM that maintains consistency between in-process models and a digital reference model. P4BUS is actively involved with ASTM F42 and ISO/TC-261 standards-making organizations on AM technologies and serves on task groups addressing Design issues and the use of sensor information to document the build process. P4BUS makes available to AM users an open format specification for DESIGNERS and MANUFACTURERS to share digital data along the AM process chain. The P4BUS printing protocol embeds the physical properties of objects, in a new technique for coding, transmitting and receiving 3D design files, including data used in the build process of AM parts and assemblies. Same format specification can be used to create a Digital Twin of the 3D-printed part, and feed it back data from in-situ monitoring and testing.
