CONNECT3D

CONNECT3D, developed by PostProcess Technologies, is a software-driven solution designed to automate the post-printing process in additive manufacturing. This solution aims to streamline support removal, resin removal, and surface finishing of 3D printed parts. The vendor claims that CONNECT3D is suitable for companies of all sizes, offering a versatile and scalable solution for post-processing needs.

Key Features

Faster Resin Removal: According to the vendor, CONNECT3D automates and optimizes the resin removal step of SLA, DLP, and CLIP 3D printing technologies, potentially reducing resin removal steps by 50% or greater. The software-driven solution, combined with the Submersed Vortex Cavitation (SVC) technology, aims to enable faster resin removal times while ensuring consistent access to complex geometries.

Efficient Surface Finishing: CONNECT3D is said to provide efficient surface finishing for SLA, DLP, and CLIP 3D printed parts. The Suspended Rotational Force (SRF) technology, as claimed by the vendor, allows for hands-free surface finishing with minimal part breakage. The software-controlled algorithms aim to ensure uniform media and detergent exposure, resulting in predictable and consistent surface finishing.

Software Intelligence: According to the vendor, CONNECT3D utilizes the proprietary AUTOMAT3D platform for software intelligence, simplifying the post-printing workflow with a push-button operation. The software platform is tailored for SLA, DLP, and CLIP post-processing, managing and optimizing process parameters for consistent and efficient resin removal and surface finishing.

Compatibility with Multiple Technologies: CONNECT3D is claimed to be compatible with SLA, DLP, and CLIP 3D printing technologies, seamlessly working with a wide range of resins used in these printing technologies. The vendor states that it offers consistent and reliable resin removal and surface finishing for various materials and part geometries.

Scalability and Versatility: The vendor asserts that CONNECT3D is suitable for additive manufacturing companies of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. It is said to handle high-volume production, potentially reducing overall cycle time. The solution can be integrated into existing additive manufacturing workflows, enhancing efficiency and repeatability. According to the vendor, it also supports a wide range of part sizes and complexities, offering versatility in post-processing.
