PostProcess Technologies' automated support removal solution.
Additive manufacturing post processing solutions manufacturer, PostProcess Technologies Inc. has announced the first step in its global expansion with the opening of its first international office and product launch in Europe.
The company's European office is based in Sophia-Antipolis, a technology hub close to Nice, France. Supporting its global expansion, the company's new global arm, named PostProcess Technologies International, will be led by Bruno Bourguet, formerly of HERE Technologies.
“The additive space is rapidly growing, our customers are global leaders across every major industry, and they are eager for automated post-printing solutions in Europe as well,” said Jeff Mize, CEO, PostProcess. “Customers value the unparalleled consistency of results they are able to achieve with our technology. It is simply not replicable or scalable without a software-driven solution. Once they achieve consistent quality results, the demand quickly spreads worldwide.”
“While we have an immediate solution to automate post-printing for support removal and surface finish, the real power of the PostProcess technology is its capability to enable digital manufacturing in a factory 4.0 environment,” said Bruno Bourguet. “There is high interest from companies in Europe in our solutions and the role that automated post-printing plays in unleashing the power of 3D printing.”
Previously only available in North America, PostProcess machines enable automated, intelligent post-processing for 3D printing support removal and surface finishing. Its software operating intelligence has been built by benchmarking more than 500,000 parts of all print technologies and continues to learn from its growing installed base of machines.
PostProcess’ technology will debut in Europe at Formnext in Frankfurt, Germany on 13-16th November on Booth 3.0-H68.
