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.

PRESS RELEASE - PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

We will be one of the exhibitors at the AM Summit 2022 in Copenhagen, 7th of September. See you there for discussions and software demos!

SelectAM has integrated its offering into the Hubcap ecosystem, a collaborative space for SMEs focusing on cyber-physical production systems and model-based designs. We are looking forward to fruitful collaborations and experiments with other members and SMEs outside of Hubcap.

Digital Innovation HUBs and Collaborative Platform for Cyber-Physical Systems on a European level. 

SelectAM joins the Hubcap programme

We are pleased to announce that Benedikt Olesch and Kalle Lepola will join the AM part identification company SelectAM. Benedikt is an experienced investor and financial analyst, supporting us as a financial business consultant. Kalle has been working in the 3D printing industry and in the IT sector in various business roles, taking on the role of a business advisor for SelectAM. Great to have you both on board, welcome!

Benedikt Olesch and Kalle Lepola will join the AM part identification company SelectAM. 

New SelectAM members

 signed a partnership to accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing technologies for medium sized - and large corporations. From now on, identified components in SelectAM’s web-based platform can be ordered, manufactured, and delivered globally through the manufacturing network of DiManEx.

Additionally, SelectAM’s part identification solutions are linked to the end-to-end AM workflow of DiManEx to support its automated data driven identification of AM business cases.



SelectAM
SelectAM Oy is a software company providing part identification solutions for additive manufacturing applications. The high degree of automation and the variety of perspectives on the assessment of components describes the unique value of the developed digital workflow.

Dimanex
At DiManEx we’ve fixed the problem of inefficient manufacturing supply chains. We made it on demand, We made it digital, We made it simple and resilient. We've successfully built a cloud based integrated manufacturing supply chain. A data driven, global end to end platform enabling manufacturing companies around the world to monitor the health of their low volume parts supply chain real time and change over to on demand 3-D manufacturing of parts. 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.
