PostProcess, Alphacam Partner to Expand Access to Automated 3D Postprinting in Germany
Alphacam’s in-house printing service — which manufactures components with FDM, PolyJet, LPBF, BMD, DLP/P3 and SAF technology — will also utilize the PostProcess solution for its own operations.

PostProcess’ DEMI 910 was developed specifically for use in the Carbon Ecosystem and with Carbon’s Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) printing.
PostProcess Technologies and Alphacam are collaborating on the distribution of automated postprinting technology in the German-speaking market. Alphacam’s focus on supporting its customers through the complete 3D print process — starting with CAD systems and print technologies from Stratasys, Desktop Metal, Tritone and One Click Metal — is now strengthened by its offering of PostProcess’ technology for the final postprint step, the company says.
Alphacam’s in-house printing service — which manufactures components with FDM, PolyJet, LPBF, BMD, DLP/P3 and SAF technology — will also now utilize PostProcess’ solutions for its own operations.
“We see more and more demand for additive manufactured production parts at our customers, running their own equipment or ordering services in our Teilefabrik,” says Michael Junghanss, Alphacam managing partner. “In both cases, we have to add automated post processes when the parts are built with the AM machines. This adds repeatability and less labor costs to the parts, and is the only way to make AM production parts successful. “
The partnership is designed to help AM users get the most out of their polymer and metal 3D printing systems for prototyping, tooling and production. “As demand for our digital solution for post-printing grows as an alternative to manual labor and legacy machines, we’re excited to work with a highly experienced and reputable partner like Alphacam,” says Florian Künne, PostProcess general manager of DACH and APAC.
