Month: December 2018

2018 was quite the year! Take a look back at the efforts making automated, intelligent post-printing a reality this past year at PostProcess:

• February – PostProcess Automates 3D Post-Printing at Johns Hopkins – The Johns Hopkins University’s Carnegie Center for Surgical Innovation implements the PostProcess DEMI 200 solution to remove support material from Polyjet parts. Using 3D printing to put patient-specific organ models into the hands of surgeons, the Johns Hopkins facility has significantly decreased their overall cycle time and improved consistency with the PostProcess solution.

• May  – PostProcess Announces Expanded Channel Partner Coverage Across North America – PostProcess secured agreements with AdvancedTek, Cimetrix, Fisher Unitech, and Tech-Labs to accelerate growth for post-print solutions in North America. Learn more about why these specific channel partners were selected.
• September – Hybrid DECI Duo Recognized with 2 Innovation Awards – PostProcess became a Top 3 Finalist for the RAPID+TCT Exhibitor Innovation Award and was the recipient of a Bronze Medal at the American Business Awards in the B2B New Product Innovations Category. Read more about these along with other industry recognition that PostProcess have received in 2018.
• September – 3D Printed Metal for Ingersoll Rand Achieves Aerospace Quality Surface Finishing – Ingersoll Rand requires a replicable way to achieve exacting surface finish requirements on the complex geometry of its shrouded impeller to drive a measurable increase in efficiency for its advanced air compressors. Learn how PostProcess solved this dilemma with the Hybrid DECI Duo in this customer case study.
• October – PostProcess Launches in Europe – Automated post-printing becomes available across EU with PostProcess’ first international office and the launch of its product line in Europe. Read the full press announcement here.
• December – PostProcess Accelerates Next-Gen Post-Print Software Platforms with CUBRC – This new partnership significantly advances PostProcess’ work on the full digitization of AM through the post-print step for the Industry 4.0 factory floor. Read the full press release here.

PostProcess published many White Papers throughout the year on support removal and surface finishing over a range of 3D print technologies. Check out the White Paper database to learn more!

As your print volumes grow and end-part quality requirements increase, be sure to plan for your 2019 budget to include automated and intelligent post-printing solutions! Contact us today to get started.
