AMFG has announced the introduction of a request and ordering function within its additive manufacturing workflow automation software.
The update to the software platform intends to make the process of handling requests and orders more efficient for the OEMs and service providers. It is customisable to workflow processes and applications, allowing OEMs to implement the feature on more than one component, and enabling service bureaus to do the same for more than client.
AMFG has a range of manufacturing customers that fall into either discipline and has worked to ensure users of its software a flexible, easy-to-operate feature that enhances communication between manufacturer and recipient. The company’s underlying motivation, meanwhile, is to take tasks such as order handling out of human hands, freeing staff up to take on other jobs, and ultimately streamline the process of making products. With software updates like this one being released, AMFG feels it continues to provide that service to the additive user community.

“The ability to standardise the process of receiving incoming requests or orders for parts is the first step to establishing an agile and scalable additive manufacturing process,” commented Felix Doerr, AMFG’s Head of R&D and Partnerships. “Our Request and Ordering Portal gives businesses the flexibility to eliminate the intrinsically manual nature of this process through automation.
“The vast majority of companies are struggling to streamline the way in which they receive requests for parts internally, and this is compounded when AM operations are spread across multiple locations. Our portal helps to standardise data that can be submitted to the AM or RP department from the outset and automates the process so that machine operators no longer have to spend a huge proportion of their time on manually verifying each individual request.”
