![]() AM-Flow provides the recognition, sorting and routing of the printed parts, where the MES software tells which printers the parts are coming from and where they need to go next: to post-processing or to be packaged and shipped to the end customer. That’s what we started solving: we can now identify parts in a split second based on the geometry alone. ![]() The big difference is in the individualized geometries and the fact that you don’t have a limited, standard product library with common product ID labels. ![]() “For example, automated picking and placing, tracking and tracing, transportation and packaging. the national conversation on 3D printing technology while training and. “The 3D printing industry can learn a lot from the other industries,” Stefan Rink, Co-founder and CEO of AM-Flow explains. The Additive Manufacturing (AM) Lab at CDME is equipped to lead this effort. From offices in Brainport Eindhoven (Mechatronics, Vision & Robotics) and Amsterdam (3D software, Machine Learning & AI) the company serves clients all over the world.Įver since 3D printers began the shift from stand-alone rapid prototyping machines to networked units within production workflows, it became clear that additive manufacturing was also the least automated and the hardest to integrate into full end-to-end production workflows. Winning the Formnext Startup challenge in 2020 was a milestone for acknowledging the need for 3D printing automation. AM-Flow is currently the single source of a market-ready solution stack to automate 3D the post-processing workflow. Since its inception in 2018, AM-Flow has worked on solving this major hurdle: 3D part recognition using geometry. A prerequisite for a fully automated 3D printing post-processing workflow is to be able to identify any 3D printed part in seconds. The beauty of 3D printing is that you now have full freedom of design at your fingertips. Together with the integration of AM production-line hardware and MES (manufacturing execution systems) software, AM-Flow delivers a solution stack to automate the 3D-printing process end-to-end. AM-Flow combines expert knowledge in the field of 3D-shape identification, industrial machine vision, AI software, and deep learning in 3D printing.
