1000 Kelvin launches full AI-automated build preparation workflow AMAIZE 2.0
November 25, 2024
At Formnext 2024, 1000 Kelvin, headquartered in Berlin, Germany, announced that its AI co-pilot software, AMAIZE, has expanded beyond toolpath automation to include nearly the entire metal Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) workflow. With AMAIZE 2.0, 1000 Kelvin aims to make the Additive Manufacturing process more reliable, efficient, and scalable for manufacturers across industries.
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 optimises designs for AM, reducing redesign cycles by 40%.
- Cost Estimator: Delivers accurate, upfront cost estimations, improving quotation accuracy by 30%.
- Automated Support Structures: Incorporates physics-based build preparation to save up to 20% in material costs and enable non-experts to easily implement successful build preparation workflows.
- Exposure Strategy Optimisation: 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 manufacturing 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.”
AMAIZE 2.0 is now available for early adopters, which already include companies such as Emerson, HENNgineered, FKM, A*Star, and Ultimetal, among others.
