Meteor and AMIS collaborate on OEM solution

A winning combination, Meteor Inkjet and AMIS have collaborated on OEM solution for additive manufacturing. Meteor Inkjet is a leading supplier of industrial inkjet printhead drive electronics, while AMIS is an additive manufacturing software innovator, this combined force between the two companies eventually provide a seamlessly integrated solution for binder and material jetting from ‘DFE to drop’. OEM print system builders grapple with numerous challenges in adopting inkjet technology for Additive Manufacturing. Many of these challenges mirror those faced in 2D printing, where significant inkjet experience already exists. Common issues include optimising print quality, increasing production throughput, ensuring system reliability and integrating inkjet technology into existing manufacturing workflows.

A new Digital Front End offered by AMIS, coupled with Meteor’s robust data path solutions for all major industrial inkjet printheads, allows printer manufacturers to streamline their industrial build processes, making job preparation, configuration, printing and monitoring faster and easier than ever. AMIS DFE is an on-premise Digital Front End specifically designed to optimise print and printer control for binder jetting and material jetting. Facilitating quick and accurate preparation of parts, batches, and slices, its API-based architecture ensures straightforward integration with MIS/MES systems and with simulation software or CAD input. By leveraging Meteor’s extensive industrial inkjet expertise, print system builders gain access to the world’s largest range of industrial inkjet printheads from industry leaders including EPSON, XAAR, Seiko Instruments, RICOH, Kyocera, Konica Minolta, FUJIFILM Dimatix, Xerox, and Riso.
