AM Solutions presents industrial entry-level solution for cleaning and surface finishing of polymer parts

The system addresses the growing diversity in the additive manufacturing market. While highly automated production solutions remain important, there is also a growing focus on compact systems for smaller parts and batch sizes.

The S1 Basic addresses the growing demand for entry-level additive manufacturing
AM Solutions has expanded its portfolio with the new S1 Basic, a solution that precisely addresses this demand. The system is specifically designed for the automated cleaning and surface finishing of smaller batch sizes in the polymer sector.

"We see printer manufacturers clearly intending to provide solutions for entry into additive manufacturing at an industrial level, alongside large, high-performance systems for series production. Smaller, more accessible products are lowering barriers to market entry, but expectations for part quality remain consistently high,” explains David Soldan, Head of AM Solutions – 3D post processing technology. "Regardless of this development, we recognized the need for a compact, industrial post-processing solution early on and began developing a corresponding system. With the S1 Basic, we will offer a commercially available product starting in June that fills this market gap, particularly for cost-effective and reproducible post processing of small batches,” Soldan continues.

The system's development is based on AM Solutions' extensive experience in industrial post-processing, particularly shot blasting technology. After multiple development and testing cycles, the S1 Basic was designed to be robust, stable, and user-friendly.
