AMT Post-Processing Solutions for High-Volume 3D Printing
3d printing post processing is essential for turning raw printed parts into functional, production-ready components. AMT (Advanced Manufacturing Technologies) leads in this area, providing automated solutions that help companies scale additive manufacturing to high-volume production. Since partnering with AMT in 2021, we’ve enabled UK industries to adopt efficient 3d printing post processing workflows that unlock the full potential of 3D printing.
AMT’s automated systems are built specifically for additive manufacturing, transforming how 3D-printed parts are finished. These solutions ensure parts meet the high standards required in sectors like automotive, aerospace, medical, dental, and consumer goods—improving appearance, mechanical performance, and compliance.
A core feature of AMT’s offering is its chemical vapour smoothing process. This technique smooths and seals 3D-printed polymer parts, producing finishes that closely resemble injection-molded components. It enhances not just the surface look, but also functionality—making parts more resistant to contaminants, easier to dye, and suitable for applications requiring food or skin contact certifications. The process preserves dimensional accuracy and eliminates surface marks often caused by manual 3d printing post processing methods.
AMT’s technology delivers consistent results without compromising mechanical properties. That level of control is key for industries where both performance and aesthetics matter. Whether it’s durable automotive components or compliant medical devices, AMT's solutions ensure parts are production-ready.
One major advantage of the vapour smoothing system is its non-line-of-sight capability. It can treat internal cavities and complex geometries—areas traditional 3d printing post processing methods can’t reach. This ensures even intricate parts receive a uniform, high-quality finish without affecting structural integrity.
AMT’s solutions meet rigorous global standards, including UL and CE certifications. This makes them suitable for use in regulated industries, and a trusted option among leading additive manufacturing providers. Their systems integrate easily into existing workflows, making them ideal for companies looking to automate and scale.
Another key product in AMT’s portfolio is the PostPro DP—a high-throughput machine for depowdering parts produced with powder-based 3D printing. It’s compatible with various platforms and materials, including polyamides and elastomers. The system efficiently removes residual powder through cleaning or shot blasting, reducing manual labour and increasing process automation.
Together, AMT’s PostPro technology and depowdering systems form a complete 3d printing post processing solution. They allow manufacturers to boost throughput while maintaining quality and compliance. With the ability to handle both surface finishing and powder removal, AMT supports end-to-end post-processing in high-volume environments.
For businesses aiming to elevate their additive manufacturing operations, AMT delivers proven solutions that streamline production and ensure reliable, repeatable results. By incorporating advanced 3d printing post processing technology, companies can move beyond prototyping and into full-scale, industrial manufacturing.
