Dyndrite, and AMFG announced AMFG powered by Dyndrite. The integrated solution unlocks the full potential of metal 3D printing by bringing order-to-part automation, eliminating bottlenecks, and streamlining the entire production process for increased efficiency and cost savings.

Additive CAM, also known as 3D print preparation, remains a manual, time-consuming and tedious roadblock to a truly autonomous manufacturing workflow. This is especially true where machines from multiple vendors are involved or where different customer orders must be collated into the same build. AMFG powered by Dyndrite, combines advanced order processing capabilities with the rich industrial 3D printer processing capabilities of Dyndrite. The combined solution enables Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) users and service bureaus to deploy automated ordering, collating, and dynamically processed part production services.

An investigation among AMFG customers reveals impressive benefits of over 500 hours per machine per year in saved labor for powder-based processes alone, excluding additional advantages such as minimized human error, expedited turnaround times, and enhanced machine utilization. Monthly, this translates to a remarkable 220-300 hours saved for six machines, which equates to approximately 40 hours per printer per month. The integration between AMFG and Dyndrite not only streamlines the manufacturing process but also significantly impacts businesses by facilitating quicker time to market and fostering trust through the reduction of time to ship.

The ability to deploy automated LPBF additive CAM solutions revolutionizes its applicability as a reliable AM production process. The combination of AMFG + Dyndrite transforms the technology from a promising but cumbersome concept to a practical and reliable manufacturing tool.

Preparing build files for additive manufacturing processes, including LPBF, can be a complex and time-consuming process, often taking days or weeks to complete. This problem is compounded when working with multiple machines from different vendors as each machine often has its own proprietary method for driving the process. The lack of standardization of file formats, parameters and protocols also means engineers and technicians must spend an inordinate amount of time adjusting and tweaking build files. With the challenges of the skills shortage across manufacturing, it has become more difficult to train and retain technicians with technical proficiency across multiple machine and software standards. This is all without considering the cost of paying numerous legacy software licenses and modules to manually prepare build files. These issues are especially acute for service bureaus who work across multiple platforms and require streamlined part production and managed labor costs.

AMFG powered by Dyndrite, provides an autonomous manufacturing workflow. The benefits of each software complement each other to form a unified solution:

• AMFG’s order management system receives and collates orders from multiple customers, sorted by machining process and parameters. Next, the disparate parts enter AMFG software powered by Dyndrite, whose GPU-accelerated CAM engine enables those parts to be nested, supported, labeled, and toolpaths generated for compatible machines, including Aconity3D, EOS, Renishaw, SLM Solutions and others.
• Production build data re-enter AMFG’s MES, which harnesses its powerful production planning capabilities to provide real-time build status updates and analytics, as well as its QMS to ensure jobs are completed with no compromise in quality. The AMFG MES powered by Dyndrite, eliminates countless engineering hours spent manually prepping and collating build files and acquiring costly software modules for each metal platform acquired.

AMFG powered by Dyndrite, is available in Q3 2023.‍
