Additive Manufacturing’s Quandry - Data for Design & Build, not at the Finish?

You use a software design package to create your 3D printed part. Data and analytics validate your design. A complex robot prints your part. Conversely, you rely on yesterday’s labor-intensive tools for post-processing to ensure your part consistently meets specifications? A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Fortunately, there is a solution that leverages software and data through the finish line to fully optimize your additive manufacturing operation.

Operators know what a final part should look and feel like, and how to get there. But operators are human – they get tired and their ‘look and feel’ will vary. Our partners at PostProcess have digitized tribal knowledge for all 3D print technologies to minimize human error with an automated solution to deliver repeatable and predictable cycles with minimal attendance required.

Patent-pending AUTOMAT3D software proactively sends ‘directions’ to the post-print hardware every 60 seconds and reads key indicators every 30 seconds to ‘check its work’. This is similar to having an expert team surrounding your skilled labor performing a continuous quality audit. Our comprehensive solution of software, hardware, and chemistry work together offering a proven investment that will allow you to utilize those human experts more effectively.

These are just a few examples of how PostProcess’ technology maximizes your upstream technology to stabilize quality, rebalance your workflow, and free up skilled labor downstream. If you thought your 3D printer would get you out of the dark ages, but you are still relying on tools from yesteryear, we have a solution for you.
