AM Suitability Analysis –
How it works
From upload to verified report – structured, transparent and confidential.
How the analysis works
From choosing an analysis type to receiving a structured report – five clearly defined steps.
Choose analysis type
Select your material area – Metal AM or Polymer AM – and decide between the automated Check and the individual Expert Review.
Submit part data
Upload your part geometry and add relevant details such as material, application, and specific requirements.
Complete order
Review your order summary and complete the payment. The analysis starts immediately after.
Part analysis
Your part is assessed for AM suitability. The Expert Review additionally includes an in-depth technical classification.
Quality review & report
The report is reviewed by an AM expert for consistency and clarity, then delivered to you by email.
For best analysis quality we recommend STEP or STL.
Confidential handling of your data
Your part geometries, CAD data, and technical details are used exclusively for the analysis. All transfers are encrypted. For confidential projects, please contact us before uploading. An NDA can be arranged if required.
What the report contains
The analysis report is not a manufacturability guarantee – it is a structured technical orientation framework for your next step.
AM suitability
Clear statement on the part's fundamental suitability for additive manufacturing – with reasoning.
Identified risks
Geometry issues, process risks, post-processing requirements, and potential quality concerns.
Process recommendation
Assessment of LPBF as the primary process. Alternative AM processes (e.g. DED, WAAM) are considered in the Expert Review if required.
Assessment of FDM/FFF as the primary process. Alternative AM processes (e.g. SLS, MJF, SLA/DLP) are considered in the Expert Review if required.
Economic context
Where relevant and where sufficient data is available, a rough economic comparison with conventional manufacturing processes is included.
Optimisation potential
Notes on design adjustments that can improve AM suitability or reduce costs.
Next steps
Concrete recommendations on what makes sense before requesting a manufacturing quote.
Technical expertise. No generic promises.
Technically reviewed
Every analysis is technically controlled and informed by years of hands-on experience in additive manufacturing.
Neutral and independent
No ties to machine parks or service providers – the assessment is guided by your part and your technical goal.
No blanket statements
The assessment is specific to your part, the chosen AM technology, and the relevant boundary conditions.
