27/07/2026 – Torhout, Belgium / Eindhoven, Netherlands – 3iD Printing, a Belgian provider of industrial 3D printing services, is enhancing its manufacturing efficiency by implementing an automated post-processing solution from AM-Flow. The new production line integrates AM-Feed, AM-Vision and AM-Sort, enabling intelligent automation of part feeding, identification and sorting.
As additive manufacturing continues to expand into industrial production, efficient post-processing has become increasingly important. While printing technologies have advanced significantly, manual identification and sorting often remain labor-intensive processes that limit throughput and scalability. By automating these workflow steps, manufacturers can improve productivity, reduce repetitive manual work and maintain consistent production quality. For 3iD, the implementation supports its continued focus on innovation, operational excellence and sustainable growth. The company serves customers across a wide range of industries with high-quality additive manufacturing solutions, where flexibility, reliability and fast turnaround times are essential.
The AM-Flow solution automatically singulates printed parts using AM-Feed before they are identified by AM-Vision through AI powered machine vision, eliminating the need for labels or physical markings. AM-Sort then automatically routes every component to the correct customer order, post-processing step or production destination, creating a seamless and traceable workflow.
The result is a more efficient production process that minimizes manual handling, reduces the potential for human error and enables operators to focus on higher-value activities while increasing production capacity.
“Innovation has always been central to how we operate. As production volumes continue to grow, we are continuously looking for technologies that help us improve efficiency while maintaining the quality and flexibility our customers expect. Automating post-processing is a natural next step in that journey.”
Dave Vanhove, Founder of 3iD
“We are proud to support 3iD in optimizing its manufacturing workflow, our technology is designed to help manufacturers eliminate manual bottlenecks and create scalable, data-driven production environments. We look forward to seeing the impact this solution will have on 3iD’s operations.”
Stefan Rink , CEO at AM-Flow
The collaboration highlights a broader trend within industrial additive manufacturing, where companies are increasingly automating downstream processes to unlock greater productivity and prepare for larger production volumes. By integrating intelligent workflow automation, 3iD is further strengthening its position as an innovative manufacturing partner ready to support the future of digital production.
