增材制造技术（AMT）是英国工业4.0硬件解决方案的制造商（AMT），宣布了其后处理加法制造系统Postpro3d的商业发布。
减少邮政处理中的麻烦
3D printed parts often need sanding or chemical treatments to achieve a smooth and desirable finish; however such processes are typically costly, labor intensive, and time consuming. Last year,AMT及其财团，收到了£624,000 grant来自政府经营英国创新为3D打印零件开发新的自动化后处理方法。
在喷墨打印头供应商的帮助下Xaar和18个月的开发，AMT创建了Postpro3D系统，以完成3D打印的弹性体和尼龙零件。该系统使用边界层自动平滑技术（BLAST）（BLAST），一种物理化学过程，将热塑性聚合物的内部空腔升级，而没有零件的机械性能降解。
The PostPro3D system
Postpro3D单元保持600 x 400 x 400毫米的构建体积。它能够处理使用多喷射融合（MJF），激光烧结（LS），高速烧结（HSS）和FDM技术创建的3D打印零件。
运送到欧洲，美国和中国he system is available for preorder from a price of €75,000. The first commercial units are expected for shipment at the beginning of Q4 2018.
尝试和测试
生命值和运动品牌Under Armour, are among the first customer to have tested the PostPro3D. Materials included in the test include Nylon 12, which demonstrates high tensile strength and hardness for use within3D打印的中底as well as医疗设备。这种基于聚合物的材料记录了90-120分钟之间的总过程。
此外，今年早些时候AMT宣布collaboration with Farsoon Technologies。This partnership seeks to leverage the PostPro3D patented technology within Farsoon’s existing 3D printers as well as its forthcoming automated,Continuous Additive Manufacturing Solution(CAMS).
