- Our Managing Director Kason Knight talks about some of the difficulties faced when producing 1,000s of custom parts in our 3D Printer farm and how we are looking to solve this with our new AM-Flow system.
This new addition to our production workflow, and only the second such system in the USA, will allow us to more efficiently process parts, identify the step in the process that each one is in, focus on quality and also be able to bring our costs and pricing down further.

I like the new intro 👌
Thats quite amazing! I didn't know it gave such a machine. You guys are just improving and improving! Excited to see where you guys go in the future!
Just a piece of feedback for the website. Don't require an account to get a quote. "Instant Quote" should be just that. I uploaded a file for a print I was curious to see how much would cost to have printed in bulk, but then popping up asking for personal information put me off instantly. If I were given a price, it may have swayed me to make an order.
It's insane to me that this exists... And that you guys are at the scale of AM manufacturing that you need robots to sort out your prints. I would love to see a video where you give us "stats" - like, how many parts do you do in a month? how many orders? how much revenue is that (dno't need to share profit). How many kg of plastic? How many print hours? It's fascinating. Thanks for sharing videos
Awesome Kason! Very excited to see what you guys are doing. Do you have plans to add quality control to this workflow?

Hey Terry! This is a great question and something I am excitied about. The system as it currently operates does help support some aspects of our quality control already by taking away some of the administrative tasks and freeing up more time for our QC to have on inspection. For example, we have traditionally taken QC pictures of every part - this is a manual process and takes a good bit of time but we now have a MASSIVE digital photo library of every part.
However, AM Flow is currently developing an additional module specifically for QC which can essentially 3D scan an entire part automatically within a few seconds and provide us with a that can dimensionally checked against the model itself. Looking forward to this!
This is crazy Congrats. By the way what material that looks like S
Thanks! That part is a PA12 Nylon material created using multi-jet fusion. Layer heights are 0.08mm and so with a little post processing the technology can produce parts that appear to be injection molded.
