1000 Kelvin, a provider of AI-driven additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, says it has expanded its flagship AMAIZE AI co-pilot software far beyond toolpath automation to include nearly the entire metal laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) workflow. With AMAIZE 2.0, 1000 Kelvin aims make the 3D printing process more reliable, efficient and scalable for manufacturers across industries.

AMAIZE 2.0 now features a more comprehensive suite of advanced automation tools designed to handle some of the most persistent challenges in AM, including:

Printability Checker — The company says this tool automatically validates and optimizes designs for AM, thereby reducing redesign cycles by 40%.
Cost Estimator: This is designed to deliver accurate, upfront cost estimations, improving quotation accuracy by 30%.
Automated Support Structures: Incorporates physics-based build preparation to save up to 20% in material costs and enable nonexperts to easily implement successful print preparation workflows.
Exposure Strategy Optimization: Ensures first-time-right prints with AI-driven parameters, cutting failure rates by 50%.

These enhancements enable manufacturers to unlock higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and increase yield by leveraging AI-powered insights for every step of the printing process.

“Our mission is to make additive manufacturing simpler, more accurate and more predictable,” says Dr. Omar Fergani, Ph.D., 1000 Kelvin co-founder and CEO. “With AMAIZE 2.0, our customers can achieve consistent, first-time-right results with greater confidence and speed. We’re finally unlocking the true value of the 3D printing industry.”

The company says AMAIZE has already demonstrated its impact with customers in key industries. Clients include aerospace, automotive and contract manufacturing, reporting substantial improvements in both efficiency and output quality. AMAIZE 2.0 is available for early adopters. As manufacturers face increasing demands for agility, reliability and scalability, AMAIZE is designed to deliver “first-time-right” results, transforming 3D printing into a streamlined, automated and intelligent process.
