Technology & Products
Key Products
DEMI X 5000 (large-format resin removal); DEMI X 520 (for Industrial PolyJet); DEMI X 200 Plus (resin cleaning & curing); VORSA 500 (FDM support removal); BASE (FDM post-processing); AUX-400-RINSE (organic rinse solution)
Technological Advantage
Proprietary software-driven agitation and fluid dynamics technology, protected by over 50 patents, automates post-processing for complex geometries (convex/concave) that manual methods struggle with. This 'software, hardware, chemistry' integration creates high switching costs and is validated through deep OEM partnerships (e.g., Stratasys). The advantage is defensible via the patent portfolio and process know-how, though hardware design could be replicated by well-funded competitors.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Automates the labor-intensive post-printing bottleneck, increasing throughput by up to 90%, improving part consistency and quality, reducing solvent use (e.g., IPA) by 100% with proprietary chemistry, and lowering total cost of ownership for scaled AM production.
How They Differentiate
PostProcess offers a full-stack system integrating software, hardware, and chemistry, whereas DyeMansion focuses heavily on dyeing and finishing for SLS. Compared to AMT's chemical vapor smoothing, PostProcess provides a broader range of solutions (resin removal, support removal, surface finishing) with a strong emphasis on automation and data intelligence. Its deep, validated integration with major printer OEMs like Stratasys is a key differentiator.
