PostProcess Technologies and Rösler Announce Partnership
PostProcess Technologies and Rösler partner for end-to-end digitization of 3D printing, including postprocessing.
PostProcess Technologies Inc. and Rösler have announced a strategic partnership to bring automated post-print solutions to Europe. In the arrangement, Rösler will provide PostProcess Technologies’ data-driven support removal and surface finishing solutions for all AM technologies to the European market.
PostProcess Technologies’ product offerings automate the final stage of additive manufacturing (support removal and surface finish) to allow for the production of customer-ready 3D-printed parts. Automation in this step of additive manufacturing is fundamental to scaling for mass customization, as parts do not arrive off the printer customer ready. Because PostProcess Technologies’ solutions are software-driven, they enable full digitization of additive manufacturing, the company says.
Rösler will be a surface finishing supplier offering solutions tailored to the needs of both traditional and additive manufacturing. This strategy also enables Rösler to expand its offering beyond surface finishing and into a broader postprocessing scope including 3D post-print support material removal.
