PostProcess Automated Post-Processing

Introduction to PostProcess

PostProcess is the leader in automated and intelligent post-printing solutions for 3D printed and additive manufactured parts. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Buffalo, NY, USA, with international operations in Mougins, France, PostProcess removes the bottleneck in the final stage of the 3D printing workflow, post-processing, through a combination of patent-pending software, hardware, and chemistry technologies. The company’s solutions automate industrial 3D printing’s most common post-printing processes including support, resin, and powder removal, as well as surface finishing, enabling customer-ready 3D printed parts at scale and complete digitisation of additive manufacturing through the workflow for the Industry 4.0 factory floor. 

PostProcess Additive Manufacturing Solutions

PostProcess Technologies, brings solution to your workshop or labs to remove IPA from your workflow. 

DEMI 430 automated resin & wax removal

The DEMI 430 Series Support & Resin Removal submersion solutions deliver automated removal of PolyJet, MJP and FDM supports and excess resin for SLA, CLIP, and DLP technologies. All versions in the DEMI 400 Series includes our patented Submersed Vortex Cavitation (SVC) technology – the system uses a rotating motion while the part is immersed in fluid and ensures even exposure to the induced mechanical agitation.

DEMI X 520 automated resin removal

PostProcess® continues to advance additive manufacturing support removal with the new DEMI X 520 for Resin Removal™. As the industry’s only full-stack solution, it extends the PostProcess Submersed Vortex Cavitation™ portfolio by introducing our newAxial Flow Technology™ combined with our game-changing chemistry and customized AUTOMAT3D® software.

DEMI 830 automated resin & wax removal

When throughput is essential, the PostProcess DEMI 800™ Series automated submersion systems are engineered to meet the demands of volume production while ensuring consistency of every part. The varying specifications of our models ensure a range of features are available for your automated post-printing needs. All models incorporate our proprietary software program and additive formulated detergents for a complete additive manufacturing post-print solution.

DEMI 4000 automated resin removal

The DEMI 4000™ Series is the world’s only automated technology developed for production SLA resin removal. Powered by our proprietary software platform, AUTOMAT3D®, this solution utilises our patented Submersed Vortex Cavitation (SVC) technology, ensuring consistency and optimising the rate of resin removal.

RADOR surface finisher

Whatever your surface finish requirements are, thePostProcess™ RADOR™ has been engineered to meet the specifications for the desired Roughness Average (Ra) to achieve various types of finishes on a wide range of 3D printed materials. This Solution is capable of finishing surfaces of the following 3D printing technologies: FDM, SLA, CLIP, PolyJet, SLS, MJF, Metals, and more.

VORSA 500 for FFF/FDM support removal

The PostProcess™ VORSA™ FDM support removal solution offers a large work envelope and delivers uniform, high-quality results for every part, regardless of geometry, with short cycle times to meet your high-volume production needs. With multidimensional spray technology, the VORSA 500 allows for remarkably quick dry times while maintaining part integrity as parts won’t become saturated with detergent.

Aerospace

Aerospace components must be high-quality, precise, complex, and, most importantly, aerodynamic. Additive manufacturing (AM) is well-suited for producing custom one-off parts, manufacturing tools, and prototypes at reduced costs. Additionally, AM materials are ideal for creating lightweight components, which help reduce fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions in aerospace applications.

Automotive

Light-weighting, mass customisation, rapid prototyping, and streamlined production are key reasons why the automotive industry and OEMs have increasingly adopted additive manufacturing (AM). With the growing popularity of electric vehicles, AM has become vital for quickly producing smart components, intricate spare parts, and lighter components that reduce energy consumption and extend the driving range of a single battery charge.

Dental

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables dental labs to produce custom designs with exceptional precision, making it highly suitable for dental applications. However, traditional post-processing methods can create bottlenecks that limit the scalability of AM operations. These conventional techniques often involve cleaning dental models with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) baths, which can pose safety risks to technicians and lead to model warping.

Defence

Above all else, the speed and on-demand nature of additive manufacturing (AM) makes it appealing to the military/defence sector, who need to get parts into the hands of warfighters as quickly as possible. Because the nature of the additive manufacturing process allows for de-localization, parts can be created more covertly. Plus, additive manufacturing minimises the need to store spare parts for large pieces of equipment, as accurate and detailed parts can be developed more or less on demand.
