One year ago, software company 1000 Kelvin launched its software AMAIZE at Formnext 2023. After a year marked by several partnerships to transform 3D printing into a streamlined, automated, and intelligent process, the company announced an upgrade to this flagship product. The software goes beyond toolpath automation to include nearly the entire metal laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) workflow.
AMAIZE 2.0 now features a comprehensive suite of advanced automation tools designed to tackle some of the most persistent challenges in AM. These include:
- Printability Checker: Automatically validates and optimizes designs for AM, reducing redesign cycles by 40%.
- Cost Estimator: Delivers accurate, upfront cost estimations, improving quotation accuracy by 30%.
- Automated Support Structures: It incorporates physics-based build preparation to save up to 20% in material costs and enable non-experts to implement successful print preparation workflows.
- Exposure Strategy Optimization: Ensures first-time-right prints with AI-driven parameters, cutting failure rates by 50%.
These enhancements allow manufacturers to unlock higher Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and increase yield by leveraging AI-powered insights for every step of the printing process.
“Our mission is to make additive manufacturing simpler, more accurate, and more predictable,” said Dr. Omar Fergani, PhD, Co-founder and CEO of 1000 Kelvin. “With AMAIZE 2.0, our customers can achieve consistent, first-time-right results with greater confidence and speed. We’re finally unlocking the true value of the 3D printing industry.”
Moving forward, 1000 Kelvin continues to lead the way in AI-driven advancements for the AM industry. As manufacturers face increasing demands for agility, reliability, and scalability, AMAIZE ambitions to deliver “first-time-right” results. AMAIZE 2.0 is available for early adopters, which already include key companies such as EMERSON, HENNgineered, FKM, A*Star, and Ultimetal.
