OUR PRINT-TO-PRODUCT WORKFLOW
Fully integrated
end-to-end workflow
We are the global leader in offering complete, connected & fully integrated end-to-end solutions for all finishing steps. Our processes solve an urgent industry need for cleaning, different surfacing options depending on the application & coloring for 3D-printed polymer parts.
Works with all powder bed 3D-printing technologies
ENABLES END-USE APPLICATIONS
COMPATIBLE 3D-PRINTING TECHNOLOGIES
SLS
COMPATIBLE WITH OUR FULL WORKFLOW:
SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING (SLS)
Laser Sintering and the post-processing of PA11, P12 or TPU parts from technology providers like EOS, Farsoon or 3D Systems is our home turf and where we always put a focus on. Our technology also works with new SLS technologies on the market like from Nexa3D or Formlabs.
SAF, MJF, HSS
COMPATIBLE WITH OUR FULL WORKFLOW:
SELECTIVE ABSORPTION FUSION (SAF), MULTI JET FUSION (MJF) & HIGH SPEED SINTERING (HSS)
Our integrated solutions for cleaning, surfacing and coloring work perfectly with technologies like SAF (Selective Absorption Fusion) from Stratasys or MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) from HP. You can process PA11 parts as well as PA12, TPU, PP parts and more. If you are not sure whether your material works with our solutions, reach out to us. We can answer that quickly and get you started.
FDM / FFF
COMPATIBLE WITH VAPORFUSE SURFACING:
FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING (FDM) & FUSED FILAMENT FABRICATION (FFF)
If you are working with industrial FDM / FFF technologies from companies like Stratasys and with materials like ULTEM or ABS parts, our vapor polishing technology can improve your surfaces. Get in touch or check the Powerfuse S page for more information.
SLA, DLP, CDLP/CLIP
COMPATIBLE WITH DEEPDYE COLORING:
STEREOLITHOGRAPHY (SLA), DIGITAL LIGHT PROCESSING (DLP), CONTINUOUS DIGITAL LIGHT PROCESSING (CDLP) & CONTINUOUS LIQUID INTERFACE PRODUCTION (CLIP)
You are working with SLA or CLIP parts from technology providers like Formlabs or Carbon? Our DeepDye Coloring technology with the DM60 can help to dye your parts in the right color.
Two sophisticated processes for the perfect finish
Whether you need improved aesthetics or functionalities for your parts, we got you covered. For the perfect finish, we have developed two proprietary processes. Experience our finishing options and find the right finish for your application.
PolyShot Surfacing - a mechanical blasting process
VaporFuse Surfacing - a chemical smoothing process
Sealed, injection-molding like functional finish for rigid and semi-rigid plastics like PA11, PA12, TPU or PP and applications like pipes or midsoles.

GROUP OF INITIATORS
The model defines the stages of industrial 3D printing along the entire process chain from material to machines to automation.
The status quo of additive manufacturing can be analyzed by applying a Maturity Check, which will be offered by Siemens, following the structure of the AM I Navigator framework. The check is a structured approach that will show the current maturity level of AM and the potential for improvement for the company in question.
