AMSIS Targets Thermal Behaviour in Metal AM with GENESIS Build-Preparation Software

Thermal behaviour remains one of the persistent challenges in metal additive manufacturing, and AMSIS is positioning build preparation as the place to address it. The company has developed technology that analyses heat distribution, flags overheated zones, and optimises exposure strategies — and it has now detailed that approach on the TCT Group's Additive Insight podcast.

From Analysis to Exposure Strategy

"AMSIS is a software company that has developed build-preparation technology that analyses heat distribution, flags overheated zones, and optimises exposure strategies."

The pitch is straightforward: rather than treating heat as something managed only at the machine, AMSIS pushes the analysis upstream into build preparation. Overheated zones are flagged before the build, and exposure strategies are optimised accordingly.

The GENESIS Brand

"The company has so far packaged this technology into two products under the GENESIS brand."

The two GENESIS products are the commercial expression of that technology, and their capabilities were a central focus of the episode.

What the Podcast Covers

The episode features AMSIS Managing Director and CSO Steffen Reinfurth and Director of Product Management Jerome Geils-Lindemann, in conversation with TCT Group Content Manager Sam Davies.

The discussion is not limited to product features. Reinfurth and Geils-Lindemann address real-world applications that have been supported with the GENESIS products — the kind of detail engineers evaluating build-preparation tools actually want to hear. They also discuss how the products work alongside other software in the AM value chain, an acknowledgement that no build-preparation tool operates in isolation. Finally, the conversation turns to the company's R&D focus moving forward.

For manufacturing professionals weighing where thermal management fits in their workflow, the episode offers a direct view into how one software company is framing the problem — in the build file, before the laser ever fires.
