Large scale, fully automated post-processing technology

AMT provide a suite of post-production processing solutions that enable upscaling of additive manufacturing operations. Their proprietary software, PostPro, permits the automation of these otherwise costly and time-consuming manual processes. Reach your manufacturing end points more easily, and on a greater scale.

AMT offer a series of patented solutions to upscale your 3D printing output. Traditional methods of processing your printed products are costly and inefficient – up to 60% of a part’s cost can be attributed to post-processing. AMT offers solutions that can massively improve your capacity for end-use part production by automating these laborious processes.

The PostPro SF100 and SF50 are AMT’s next generation chemical vapour smoothing units that improve the condition of thermoplastic 3D printed parts. Featuring a 100 litre chamber, the SF100 can quickly and efficiently post-process large parts. The Surface Finishing (SF) series not only improves the part’s aesthetic value but improves its mechanical performance by sealing its outer surface. This enables easy cleaning, dyeing, and coating. After vapour smoothing, parts demonstrate less than 0.4% dimensional change and receive an increase in elongation at break (EAB) scores with no loss in tensile strength. Colour consistency and vibrancy are improved by vapour smoothing also, and sealing of the outer surface means that the parts become both watertight and airtight.

The PostPro DP Pro is AMT’s de-powdering and shot blasting system which dramatically speeds up the process of gently but effectively cleaning your printed parts. The unit features a touchscreen HMI unit to allow for adjusting part parameters and programming recipes. Simply find the ideal settings for blasting your parts, hit save, and then reuse them again and again. The DP Pro also has a dedicated manual blasting area that enables fast blasting of large parts whilst the automation settings are unchanged. All of the PostPro DP systems are 3D printer material agnostic; they work with all powder-based printer platforms.

FAQ’S

Commonly asked questions about AMT Post-Processing Solutions

3Dprinted parts from all technologies with the exception of SLA
It smooths and seals the surface of the 3D printed parts achieving an injection molded look and feel. In addition the process allows you to smooth complex geometries and internal cavities of thermoplastic parts without degrading the mechanical properties.
Suitable for prints produced on most 3D printing technologies including: SLS, MJF, HSS, FFF, FDM, FGF, HSE and for all commonly used materials including: ABS, PC, Glass and Carbon-filled, Nylons and more. In addition can be used for shot blasting – producing parts ready for use of other post-processing steps.
Speeds up production, the machines gently clean large batches of parts in less than 10 minutes and with the ability to store basket angles and recipes you can achieve reliable, repeatable results ensuring maximum output.
