Build preparation software developer AMIS has partnered with Dr. Hasan Bas from 19 Mayıs University (Samsun, Türkiye) to integrate a variable slice height algorithm into AMIS Pro.
AMIS Pro is the company’s flagship Build Preparation solution and will now boast an adaptive slicing capability for binder jetting users.
Per AMIS, additive slicing to binder jetting is a method that dynamically adjusts layer thickness based on part geometry and local detail requirements. Unlike traditional uniform slicing, Dr. Bas’s algorithm combines adaptive layer control with binder optimisation, reducing the staircase effect and improving surface quality while cutting build time. Thicker layers are applied in low-detail regions and thinner layers are applied where precision matters, delivering up to '12% fewer layers without sacrificing accuracy.'
"We are excited to collaborate with Dr. Bas, whose innovative approach aligns perfectly with our vision for smarter, faster additive workflows," said Kris Binon, Managing Director of AMIS. "This integration will give AMIS Pro users unprecedented control and efficiency in slicing."
Dr. Bas added: "AMIS Pro provides an excellent platform for implementing intelligent printing strategies. Integrating adaptive slicing is a meaningful step toward more efficient binder jetting."
