荷兰3D打印，后处理和自动化公司am-flow宣布它将启动AM-BAGGING服务formnextConnect下周。
The company’s new hardware represents an automated process that efficiently prints high-resolution text, graphics and bar codes directly onto bags, ready for shipping. Utilizing the firm’s latest technology, its clients could now be able to accelerate their existing processes, by scaling them from costly manual post-processing into automated production lines.
“The beating heart of the AM-Flow ‘stack’ is AM-VISION, which uses 3D shape recognition to enable rapid and reliable identification of 3D printed parts based on their geometry,” said Carlos Zwikker, COO of AM-Flow.
Am-Flow必须提供什么
Am-Flow成立于2018年，位于阿姆斯特丹和埃因霍温的荷兰城市。该公司专门研究3D打印后处理和工厂自动化服务，并提供了硬件和MES软件产品的组合，旨在为客户提供“端到端”自动生产线。
Currently, the firm provides several services such as AM-VISION which is a software that can identify parts based on geometric unique fingerprints in 0.2 seconds. AM-SORT meanwhile, works with AM-VISION to form a complete 3D printing sorting station. AM-VISION provides identification whilst AM-SORT makes sure the objects are directed to the next process step.
在以前的流程完成后，AM-PICK提供了一种抓手技术，以限制人类的3D印刷零件的参与，并确保他们谨慎处理。但是，AM-Route被称为自给自足的移动机器人，可降低运输成本和机器空闲时间。最后一步称为AM包装，依赖于挑战运输行业挑战的自动箱技术。在整个过程中，AM-Expert将为设计的潜在改进提供支持和分析。
Previously, the company used AM-VISION software to apply its knowledge3D形状识别，机器视觉和人工智能。
Earlier this year, 3D printing service providerOceanz宣布与Am-Flow的合作关系，以开发fully automated additive manufacturing生产线。Am-Flow的新软件导致Oceanz自动化了几个后处理步骤，从而减少了在模拟手册过程上的时间
该公司推出Am-Bagging将遵循其AM-Vision原型的脚步，该原型于2018年在Formnext上发布，并于2019年发行。鉴于Am-Flow被加冕为冠军formnext启动挑战在2020年，今年的虚拟formnext版本可能代表着特别重要的版本。
Zwikker说：“我们很高兴在Formnext Connect上引入Am-Bagging，这是一个模块，顾名思义，它为AM环境提供了全自动的装袋和标签功能。”“新的解决方案完美地桥接了AM-Pick和Am-Route之间，并举例说明了我们继续寻求为制造商和服务局提供完整的“端到端”后处理解决方案。”
FormNext Connect和covid-19
In light of the COVID-19 pandemicformnext，3D印刷行业的主要欧洲贸易展览会决定在线移动整个活动在2020年11月10日至13日。
3D printing enthusiasts have been urged to book their tickets online in anticipation for the first-ever virtual Formnext event. The digitalised event has been renamed Formnext Connect but will still follow its longstanding structure of conferences, keynotes, showcases, challenges, awards ceremonies and webinars for a variety of industry topics and trends.

但是，虚拟活动旨在为增材制造业的退伍军人和新移民提供全面的参展商和产品演示平台。
此外，2020年版International Manufacturing Technology Show（IMT）已经自第二次世界大战以来首次取消。该活动定于2020年9月14日至19日举行，但IMTS网络和火花事件swapped the physical gathering for a live stream to ensure the health and safety of its exhibitors and audience.
Software automation in 3D printing
多年来，几家公司已将软件自动化实施到其服务阵容中。
去年，EOS领先的德国3D打印机OEM和英国的软件公司AMFG，宣布合作伙伴关系，通过AMFG的EOS机器启用流媒体和连接制造执行系统（MES）自动化软件。In order to create a fully connected and automated additive manufacturing workflow users of EOS 3D printers, can manage the entire additive manufacturing workflow through the MES software from AMFG.
Additionally, in August 2020 engineering firmRenishawteamed up with 3D printing robotics specialist加法自动化推进自动化后处理技术metal 3D printed parts。
