AMT Fully Exits from Stealth Mode at Formnext 2019

Significant AM Process Chain Innovations & Possibly the Most Innovative Stand in the Show’s History

AMT Introduces Digital Manufacturing System at Formnext to Facilitate Complete Automation of the Additive Manufacturing Process Chain

At Formnext 2019 in Frankfurt Advanced Manufacturing Technologies Ltd (AMT) launched its proprietary Digital Manufacturing System (DMS). Visitors at Formnext will be the first to witness this innovative and comprehensive post processing system that completes the equation for high volume production applications of additive manufacturing (AM) through digital connectivity and full automation.

Post processing an integral part of additive manufacturing

The post processing of 3D printed parts is an often overlooked stage of the process chain for additive manufacturing (AM). Sometimes referred to as 3D printing’s ‘dirty little secret,’ it is a necessary but frequently labour-intensive discipline that requires considerable manual intervention. Today, post processing remains a major hurdle for companies looking to scale their additive manufacturing (AM) operations for production applications. AMT is one company that is redressing the balance in this area and offers end-to-end solutions that truly unlock the advantages that AM offers for high volume applications.
