Additive Manufacturing (AM) Module Help Resources

The technical content is available in HTML format as an Online Help system that you can access from two locations. Both versions are viewed in your browser.

  • A local version that is available with each Thermo-Calc installation and does not require an Internet connection.
  • A web version available online. The web help also matches the most recently released version of Thermo-Calc.

Between releases there may be minor updates to the web version compared to the installed version. All updates made to the web version are included in the next installed release version.

There are several resources available on our website to help you learn how to use Thermo‑Calc and other Add-on Modules. Go to the Getting Started Guides page and choose one of the guides that provides new users an introduction to setting up simple calculations in Graphical Mode. The information there is also in this help documentation.

See Welcome to Thermo-Calc to start navigating the help resources.
