SelectAM has launched a seamless end-to-end workflow from AM part identification to the delivery of manufactured parts.

SelectAM’s AI-powered platform is from now on available as a free open-access version (

), which allows users to assess large numbers of CADs and part-related data to identify and order AM business cases. Get instant AM price quotes and lead times for single parts and assemblies, perform a quick total cost of ownership (TCO) assessment including calculations for conventional manufacturing, estimate your AM saving potential, run mesh integrity checks, and evaluate the overall input data quality level. As shown in the video below, these features are provided free-of-charge without any necessary sign-up. Users’ data is neither stored on any server nor collected.

If you are an owner of AM machines or have easy access to them, the subscription-based premium version (upgrade to a free 2-weeks trial) gives users access to expert features. With this premium version, users can set up their own AM machine and material portfolio, simulate and visualize nesting and slicing processes for a wide range of AM technologies, calculate exact production cost and production times, showcase the redesign potential of single parts and assemblies, and find the best-matching AM technology for uploaded parts. In addition to cost calculations, this software can generate internal AM price quotes based on quotation margins. All steps and settings can be configured to fine-tune results, which are then used to order, or export identified and qualified parts.

As a result, SelectAM’s platform saves time and facilitates the process to identify and qualify parts suitable for AM. When ordering parts, the user can choose between numerous AM technologies and materials, powered by Jellypipe. Below is an example of a part using multi jet fusion and polyshot peening for post-processing.

We've had such a good time at Formnext this year! Made some new friends, learned a lot, and most importantly had interesting conversations with the global Additiv Manufacturing community.

If you didn't have the chance to meet us personally, reach out and we'll schedule a quick talk in the upcoming weeks!


Formnext 2022

FINLAND – We at SelectAM have launched our first ever free-tier "Identify" software (1-month free trial) to help accelerate the adoption of Additive Manufacturing (AM), also referred to as industrial 3D-printing. Finding suitable and economically viable use cases has been a real roadblock and de-motivator for companies and engineers looking into the world of AM.

Based on the data from our research and customer projects, a small percentage of the parts that run through our process appears as a viable business case as they are today today. This means we’re helping our users to focus on the right parts and applications. In addition, since we also expand our assessment to supply chain critical parts and future business cases after redesigning the part or assembly for AM, a larger business case percentage is achievable. 

Our algorithm is tackling knowledge gaps and blocks, and we do it completely technology agnostic and securely in our web app (data saved only locally in your browser). We aim to help engineers, OEMs, design agencies, and R&D departments alike to validate and estimate which parts would make good candidates for AM and assisting them with the best selection of the applied AM technology.

We have heavily focused on embedding features like nesting, slicing, automated material mapping, and AM-process selection – which makes the business case calculations accurate and realistic. Also, if you have already 3D printers in-house, those can be embedded into the digital workflow to fine tune outcomes.

Latest features include:
- Embedded rapid slicer for all relevant AM processes
- Automated material mapping between conventional and AM materials
- Varying nesting strategies to optimize machine utilization
- Assess both single parts and assemblies, check on their redesign potential
- Establish your own machine and material equipment profile
- Surface roughness & tolerances
- Support of a wider range of input file CAD and data sheet formats

What’s next for SelectAM? We’ve launched the free tier of our SW for people to use and find long-term wins quick, and we look forward to hearing feedback on the features we’ve built to enhance the service.

So from part identification all the way to delivery to the front door. Contributing to; Resilience, Improved ROI, and Less waste.

Partnership between SelectAM and DiManEx.

Partnership to link SelectAM to the AM manufacturing world to enable an end-to-end approach

The original announcement is as follows:


"SelectAM has joined FAME ecosystem. The company is known for its software which allows companies to screen through data bases and evaluate suitability of the components for 3D printing technologies.
“We are delighted to welcome SelectAM to FAME ecosystem. They are providing valuable input to the first steps of AM value chain. It is crucial for AM industry to able to identify feasible business cases in the most efficient way. This is a valuable addition to our ecosystem”, says Ecosystem Lead Johannes Karjalainen.
SelectAM was founded in 2020 by an international team of additive manufacturing experts and software developers. The Finnish startup began with creating a 3D printing database that aimed to help manufacturers identify the potential time and cost savings of additive manufacturing, and ultimately encourage more businesses to switch to 3D printing in favor of conventional methods.""

We hope that this ecosystem will generate synergies between the participating companies and provide the necessary push regarding innovations.
