Oceanz and AM-Flow take the next step in intensive cooperation

Oceanz 3D Printing and AM Flow announced an intensive collaboration in March 2020. With this collaboration, both parties gave their commitment to developing fully automated Additive Manufacturing production lines. Since then, steps have been taken in creating end-to-end automation for Oceanz’s 3D printing process. This May, the addition of a customized AM-SORT was festively celebrated with champagne and cake.

At the production facility of Oceanz, the company has installed two integrated modules – AM-VISION and AM-SORT – which are now fully in the production. The AM-VISION provides fast automated identification of 3D printed parts. The accompanying AM-SORT, developed to sort parts quickly and with care with the patented flippers especially developed for the high variety of 3D printed parts, ensures that identified models are guided to the next process step.

With these modules, Oceanz is not only able to save on costs, time and workflow efficiency, the main added value is that Oceanz is now able to follow each model in its production process (Track & Trace). This is not only practical and efficient; it forms the foundation of 100% control of the 3D printing process, which is important for various Oceanz’ customers, such as the medical sector.

Next steps

Both companies are now working on building warehouse automation as part of the Track & Trace system, and on automated quality control for 3D printed objects.

“Common sense and hands-on approach has allowed us to take steps so quickly. We look forward to a long further collaboration to make Oceanz even stronger”.

Erik van der Garde, CEO Oceanz 3D Printing: “This collaboration confirms our own down to earth and practical mentality, and the pleasant collaboration with AM-Flow as a 3D workflow automation specialist, working towards a shared vision of the market. This application is necessary to take the next step and fits perfectly with the future demands and, therefore, with Oceanz”.
