End-to-End Line Integration

We provide services ranging from factory design to process automation. Our focus is on automating process steps within Additive Manufacturing (AM) process chains that are currently performed manually and therefore significantly impacting the cost of AM parts.

Our focussed areas:

Factory concepts – create and automate your AM production

 

  • Independent AM system benchmark       
  • Holistic EHS requirement definition and safety concept
  • Individual layout concepts and cost per unit estimation
Process chain definition, layout concept and cost per unit estimation

Automatic handling and post-processing for AM processes

 

  • Holistic part and platform handling for AM post-process steps with smart toolpath planning
  • Automation by industrial robots and cobots
  • Individual gripper development for complex part handling
  • Independent tool, system and process evaluation for support removal and finishing - Get involved in upcoming support removal study
  • Smart monitoring systems for autonomous process control
  • Reduction of manual operation steps and lead time

Automatic de-powdering for powder-based Sinter AM processes

 

  • Development of individual system development for Metal Binder Jetting and PBF-L/P processes 
  • Independent benchmark, tests and system evaluation
  • Vibratory conveying with respect to green part strength and density (patent pending)
