Additive manufacturing (AM) corporations are deeply conscious that they should decrease the barrier-to-entry for his or her merchandise to be able to set themselves up for sustainable development. Essentially the most easy — albeit not the simplest — method to that job is to determine a option to decrease the value of machines and feedstock, normally by some mixture of elevated scale of manufacturing and lowered upfront cost-of-ownership.
A substitute for that technique is to give attention to making the AM ecosystem you’re promoting as straightforward to make use of as attainable. In that context, rising workflow automation stands out as a profitable methodology, however it’s additionally nonetheless fairly a problem, particularly relating to post-processing.
Phasio, the developer of a producing workflow software program platform, has made automating AM processes a key precedence, and the corporate simply introduced a partnership with software program supplier Dyndrite and unique gear producer (OEM) HP that might set the usual for AM automation. By combining Phasio’s configure-price-quote (CPQ) and store flooring management capabilities with Dyndrite’s MJF Professional platform, Phasio and Dyndrite declare they’ve created an answer “that converts demand into validated print jobs – with out a single handbook step.”
HP was one in all Dyndrite’s earliest strategic companions, turning into the primary member of the Dyndrite Developer Council in 2020. So the familiarity between the 2 corporations and the confirmed synergy between their merchandise makes MJF a logical to showcase how Phasio and Dyndrite could make it simpler for AM customers to automate. Plus, given how extensively used the MJF ecosystem is, Phasio and Dyndrite are giving their joint capabilities a perfect alternative to scale.
In a press launch in regards to the partnership between Dyndrite and Phasio to convey a totally digital workflow to HP’s 3D printing ecosystem, Harry Lucas, the founder and CEO of Phasio, mentioned, “Phasio’s mission has all the time been to get rid of the obstacles between the entrance workplace and manufacturing. By integrating Dyndrite MJF Professional into our platform, we’ve bridged the ultimate mile to one of the crucial superior additive manufacturing techniques, the HP MJF, and introduced our imaginative and prescient to life.”
Frank Lussier, Product Supervisor at Dyndrite, mentioned, “From world enterprises to fast-moving startups, HP Multi Jet Fusion customers need to give attention to merchandise and get them to market quick. They want automation, fast iteration, traceable information, and one easy system to handle all of it. With Phasio Powered by Dyndrite, they lastly have all of it — a digital, end-to-end pipeline for MJF. It is a main milestone for the trade.”
Not the whole lot that’s taking place within the AM trade proper now’s about drones, and the collaboration between Phasio and Dyndrite definitely has applicability to a variety of use-cases. That mentioned, I’m going to make this about drones.

Given how exemplary the HP MJF ecosystem is for drone manufacturing, the thought of HP 3D printers operating nonstop, with people wanted solely to take away completed components, makes it troublesome to consider a greater utility for what Phasio and Dyndrite are launching right here. Additionally, HP has a partnership with Firestorm, a maker of factory-in-a-box options for expeditionary manufacturing — optimized for drones — and is a provider to Uncommon Machines, whose CEO lately defined to me how AM and standard manufacturing could be finest synergized to reshore drone manufacturing.
On prime of all that, protection purposes are a longtime Dyndrite sturdy go well with, and the corporate simply took that up a notch by forming a strategic partnership with Ursa Main, so the Dyndrite platform is totally geared up to satisfy DoD cybersecurity tips. The Phasio/Dyndrite resolution might give an enormous enhance to service bureaus like Endeavor 3D, an ITAR-certified HP consumer.
Lastly, the truth that the brand new functionality works with Metallic Jet as effectively might assist catalyze demand for metallic 3D printed drone components. Once more, Phasio Powered by Dyndrite has relevance far past the drone trade, however drones doubtless give the answer the quickest path to increasing AM adoption, which might in the end assist prime the software program’s potential to be used in all different areas.
