Particle serial print window5/18/2023 ![]() ![]() In the past, with 3D printing, when things are in a prototype mode, you can make a mistake. What was the motivation behind launching this product?īC: As things are moving into manufacturing, process control becomes extremely important. TCT: At AMUG, you’ve announced a solution for automated process control. Now, it's about creating systems that work well together to make life easier for the user. I mean, the usual things are still there, capital costs of the machines, the material cost, but those are slowly, slowly slowly coming down. ![]() But building out ecosystems like that with partners and strong APIs so that customers can have that harmonious experience and do what they need to do inside of one digital workflow. We've certainly tried to address that as we introduced our CO-AM platform. ![]() TCT: And what do you see as the challenges that need a bit more focus and discussion?īC: Well, it's the interconnectivity. So, that's really what we see as the customers are starting to really embrace it from a manufacturing point of view. And so now they're starting to develop the systems and the platforms around that to take it to scale. They see that there's application for the technology, whether that's in a niche product or a certain vertical, or if they're trying to address longtail, and you think of capital goods. And starting to scale those uses up and/or plan for the future scale of those uses. TCT: As you come to events like the AMUG Conference, what is your feel for where the AM industry is at?īC: You've heard Fried talk about the slow revolution, it's really turning a corner into manufacturing, I would say, a lot of our customers now have done their exploration, they've played around with various technologies, now they're starting to find their uses. Process Control has been designed to allow users to analyse and correlate layer data from the 3D printing process to identify defective parts before they are sent to post-processing and quality inspection, while the Build Processor SDK is said to facilitate the creation of tailored build parameters to specific applications.Īs the company announced its new Process Control and Build Processor SDK tools to the market, TCT caught up with Materialise VP and GM Bryan Crutchfield to understand more. Surrounded by around 2,000 additive manufacturing (AM) users, one of the industry's leading software firms was keen to explain how its latest product releases could enhance productivity and quality, while saving end users time and money. At the 2023 AMUG Conference, Materialise launched the latest strings to the CO-AM platform's bow. ![]()
