British company AMT announces 3D printing partnership with Mitsubishi Electric

3D printing can be used not only as a means to build factory automation but also to make new technologies more automated
.
In particular, automating the most important part of the efficiency-enhancing 3D printing workflow often consists of a series of laborious and expensive tasks
.

UK-based Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) has announced a partnership with Mitsubishi Electric to work together to automate AMT’s PostPro 3D chemical vapor smoothing machine
.

PostPro 3D automatically smoothes parts by laser or high-speed sintering
.
The set parameters and algorithms apply AMT's physicochemical boundary layer automatic smoothing technology to the parts, allowing the printing smoothing accuracy to reach 1μm
.

And multiple parts made of the same material and the same requirements can be processed at the same time, and the fineness can be selected.
It only takes 90 to 120 minutes to print out the parts that can be used, and the printer can automatically refill consumables
.
According to AMT CEO Joseph Crabtree, automation to drastically reduce the finishing of parts, which account for 30-70% of total manufacturing costs
