PostProcess Technologies provides fully automated post‑processing platforms for additive manufacturing, handling support removal, resin cleaning, surface finishing, and powder depowdering across FDM, PolyJet, SLA/DLP, wax, and powder‑based systems. The systems combine robotic handling, ultrasonic or fluid cleaning, abrasive‑flow finishing, and conveyor‑driven depowdering with PLC‑based control and open API integration for repeatable, traceable high‑volume production.

Product
Problem
Additive manufacturing outputs require multiple post‑print steps—support removal, resin cleaning, surface finishing, and powder extraction—that are traditionally performed manually. These labor‑intensive operations create bottlenecks, increase labor costs, and limit the ability to produce high‑volume, customer‑ready parts on schedule.
Solution
PostProcess Technologies delivers fully automated post‑processing platforms that handle support removal, resin cleaning, surface finishing, and SLS depowdering across a range of AM technologies (FDM, PolyJet, SLA/DLP, wax, and powder‑based systems). Each system integrates robotic handling, ultrasonic or fluid‑based cleaning chambers, abrasive‑flow finishing modules, and conveyor‑driven depowdering cells, all coordinated by a unified PLC‑based control suite and a touchscreen UI. The equipment operates with “one‑touch” workflows, eliminating repetitive manual labor while maintaining tight tolerances and repeatable surface quality. Real‑time sensor feedback and closed‑loop process control ensure consistent results even for complex geometries. Modular designs allow customers to scale capacity or swap modules for different material families without replacing the entire system. Integrated data logging and API connectivity enable traceability and seamless integration with existing manufacturing execution systems (MES) or quality management platforms.
Target Audience
Primary customers are high‑volume additive manufacturers in automotive, aerospace, medical device, dental, consumer goods, and defense sectors that require automated, repeatable post‑processing to deliver customer‑ready parts at scale.
