Why is CO-AM the software platform to scale AM?

Streamline orders and factory operations

Improve collaboration by centralizing AM workflows and consolidating requests. Plus, complete work orders with a native additive MES to ensure quality specs and deadlines are met.

Optimize and automate repetitive tasks

Future-proof your AM operations with best-in-class products and third-party apps to optimize and automate tasks, including build prep, nesting, to labeling processes with ease.

Control quality and repeatability

Control your entire AM process — from enhancing build processors to configuring fixed workflows. With a unified data fabric, gain a 360° view of your production data across connected facilities.

Turn AM data into actionable insights

Improve real-time decision-making with data collected from the shop floor, machine sensors, and images for quality assurance. Optimize workflows and reduce costs with reports and alerts.

Ensure on-time delivery

Simplify 3D printing processes to reduce lead times. Gain visibility across your end-to-end AM operations for real-time troubleshooting and ensure customer satisfaction.

Secure IP and demonstrate compliance

Encrypt IP and comply with ITAR-regulations. Manage user access, enable traceability, and achieve last-mile security by sending technical data packages (TDPs) to 3D printers.

Third-party partners and integrations

Integrate business systems (i.e.: ERP, PLM), third-party software and hardware with CO-AM Partners to streamline processes and create a more robust digital thread.

Our philosophy, your success

Leverage data to drive continuous improvement via the plan-do-check-learn lean manufacturing philosophy. We also apply this philosophy to our software development and CO-AM partner ecosystem to help you continuously drive sustainable growth while de-risking your AM deployment.

Using this auto-labeling solution will decrease the time my people spend on manual and repetitive tasks in the data prep workflow. As a result, these highly qualified people can spend several additional days per month on more strategic tasks.
