THE ULTIMATE AUTOMATED SORTING SOLUTION
AM-Sort transforms the downstream workflow by automatically routing each identified part to its correct destination — no manual handling, no mis-sorts, no bottlenecks at the end of the line.
Originally developed for the complex post-processing workflows of additive manufacturing, where a single build tray can contain dozens of different parts destined for different orders or processes, AM-Sort applies the same intelligent routing logic to inspection-based workflows in injection molding, die casting, and CNC machining environments. Whether routing parts to pass/fail lanes, order fulfillment, rework, or the next process step — AM-Sort handles up to 8 output destinations plus an exit bin, at 5–10 seconds per part, fully automatically.
The ultimate
Automated Sorting Solution
ADVANTAGES
Precise Identification and Classification
Ensures high accuracy in sorting 3D-printed items, minimizing errors and enhancing overall workflow efficiency.
Seamless Integration
Designed to integrate effortlessly with the entire AM-Flow suite, providing a cohesive solution for your additive manufacturing needs. Ensures smooth, end-to-end automation from inspection to sorting to final handling.
Lead Time Reduction
Eliminates batch processing delays, allowing continuous workflow progression and accelerating production for faster turnaround times.
Robust Data Logging and Tracking
Captures detailed information at every sorting stage, indicating batch completeness, identifying missing parts, and separating extra prints. Provides valuable insights for quality control, inventory management, and process improvement.
High Throughput
Capable of sorting 5,760 parts in 8 hours, significantly enhancing productivity and efficiency in the sorting process.
Cost Saving
Optimizes builds and enhances operational control, allowing organizations to allocate resources more efficiently.
AUTOMATED SORTING PROCESS
AM-Sort replaces manual sorting entirely — automatically routing each part to its designated output bin based on identification data from AM-Vision and inspection results from AM-Quality, with no operator intervention between stations. Developed to handle the sorting complexity of additive manufacturing post-processing — where mixed geometries, multiple orders, and varied downstream steps make manual sorting slow and error-prone — AM-Sort applies the same automated routing logic to injection molding, die casting, and CNC workflows. Whether you're separating conforming from non-conforming parts, routing to different fulfillment lanes, or directing parts to the next process step, the sorting rules are defined once in AM-Logic and executed consistently at production speed.
Transform your sorting process with our cutting-edge automation technology. AM-Sort reduces errors, delivers precise data for continuous improvement, and significantly enhances production efficiency and accuracy. Elevate your manufacturing workflow.

- “The bottlenecks in the industry right now are largely in the post processing side, so everything after the printer. While we continue to grow, we can not just add human labor to continue to simply sort parts. That’s something we have been aggressively trying to resolve and explains our interest in AM-Flow. We are very impressed by the AM-Flow technology.”
Steve Grundahl | CEO Midwest Prototyping, US - 'As other 3D printing service providers, Oceanz’ part of the post processing workflow is also manually. That is why, for our growth, we see the importance of applying and developing new technological principles, such as automatic identification, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning,”
Erik van der Garde | CEO Oceanz, NL - “As companies scale their AM operations, they increasingly rely on automation. However, the potential to scale is limited by the post processing, which today is still mostly a manual process. Scaling this manual process by simple adding people increases costs, variability and doesn’t increase reliability. If you want to scale production, the only way forward is to automate post processing . . . but that easier said than done.”
Bart Van der Schueren | CTO Materialise, BE - “We want to strengthen our value for money proposition by lowering cost and optimizing lead time by business and manufacturing automation. We rather invest at an early stage; it is harder to change processes once we run 10 machines and increased the headcount. We aim to create a scalable infrastructure that enables fast but organized growth that does not compromise quality or customer experience”
Markus May | CEO 3Faktur, DE - “Integrating AM-Flow's identification and sorting capabilities has optimized our SLS and MJF processes, balancing density and geometry to reduce build costs. Streamlined administrative tasks and enhanced quality tracking have significantly cut non-value-added time and integrated critical quality data into our production system. Consequently, our production output increased by 70% in six months, and our non-conformance rate dropped from 1.6% to below 0.7%.”
