toolcraft adopts amsight platform for metal AM quality control
Germany-based toolcraft, located in Georgensgmünd, is collaborating with amsight, in Hamburg, to implement a more automated and scalable approach to quality management in Additive Manufacturing, with a particular focus on semiconductor-related production.
Through the collaboration, toolcraft is deploying amsight’s digital quality backbone platform to connect and analyse production data across its AM workflows. The initiative is intended to strengthen traceability, improve process understanding, and reduce the manual effort associated with quality reporting and data analysis.
By establishing a stronger foundation for statistical process control (SPC) and data-driven manufacturing decisions, toolcraft aims to improve process stability, identify production drift earlier, and maintain consistent component quality as metal AM is increasingly adopted for production-critical applications.
“Semiconductor-related manufacturing environments demand extremely high levels of consistency, documentation, and process understanding,” stated Christoph Hauck, Executive Board Member for Technology and Sales at toolcraft. “We see amsight as a partner that understands the realities of industrial AM production and the importance of connecting quality data in a meaningful and scalable way.”
According to the companies, consolidating process and quality data within a single environment is expected to shorten the time between build completion and production decisions, while enabling faster and more consistent reporting.
Maximilian Sessner, Process Development Engineer at toolcraft, added, “One of the key attractions of amsight is its ability to support process stability and scalability simultaneously. Standardised data evaluation and SPC-based analysis are becoming increasingly important as AM production matures and expands into demanding sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing.”
Unlike conventional quality systems that often operate separately from manufacturing operations, amsight’s platform is designed specifically for industrial Additive Manufacturing environments. The system connects machine data, process information, inspection results, and quality metrics within a single traceable framework.
For amsight, the collaboration is said to highlight the growing importance of integrated quality infrastructure as metal AM adoption expands into regulated industries.
“As AM scales into highly regulated and precision-critical sectors, quality management can no longer remain fragmented across spreadsheets and disconnected systems,” stated Tim Wischeropp, CEO of amsight. “This collaboration with toolcraft demonstrates how manufacturers are moving toward integrated, data-driven quality strategies that support both operational efficiency and long-term scalability.”
The companies intend for their collaboration to reflect a wider shift across industrial Additive Manufacturing, where process transparency, traceability, and repeatability are becoming increasingly important for production use in sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing.
