Why choose the CO-AM platform?  

Meet quality standards

In-line quality control is still relatively new to AM technologies and presents a barrier for manufacturers to implement. -Deloitte

Ensure repeatability

Only 21% of enterprise AM users use AM for more than prototyping. -Gartner

Scale throughput 

Because most current AM machines are made for prototyping rather than series production, mass production scale is hard to attain. -McKinsey

CO-AM partner ecosystem

An open and agnostic ecosystem of third-party hardware and software systems to scale your digital value chain

Covering your entire AM workflow

CO-AM’s central data fabric links digital tools and process feedback across the entire AM workflow so you can track, control, and continuously improve your AM processes.

Our team is continually impressed with CO-AM’s ability to bring ideas to the table, implement quick changes for varied production processes, and enable us to drive more efficiencies than we ever thought possible. They haven’t just cut our costs, but they’ve increased our ability to serve our customers.

Kyle HarveyBusiness Unit Manager - Additive Manufacturing at Extol

3D printer connectivity is a foundational tool enabling the real-time management of production requirements locally and across the enterprise. The ability to have real-time insight into and management of current production print queues are critical to meeting our customer objectives. The local and centralized enterprise dashboards with Lockheed Martin’s Intelligent Factory Framework and Materialise CO-AM’s machine connectivity allow utilization management of Lockheed Martin’s extensive additive investment.

Christopher Wiegman Digital Transformation Engineering Manager at Lockheed Martin

Partnering with Materialise CO-AM has helped us take our AM ordering to the next level. The agility and willingness of the team to customize to our specific needs was something we’ve not seen from other software solutions.

Tracy Beard Demand Director of Operations at QuickParts

One of the really impactful things was the ability for any of us to log on from anywhere and understand the latest projects' status. We don’t have to ask or phone for information. We can just log on and see all the multiple moving pieces.
