Achieve results on the first run

We provide 4D, time-based simulations that capture the entire drillstring and wellbore geometry, ensuring accurate modeling of cutting interface designs for drilling rock and milling metal applications. By integrating a suite of solid mechanics and programs that simulate bit-to-rock and mill-to-metal interaction, you can quickly customize your material design in real time, eliminating costly trial-and-error field tests so you can achieve the desired results on the first run.
