ACloud platform

ACloud platform aims to deliver a breakthrough in the world of customized Additive Manufacturing (AM) through utilization of cloud technologies.

The platform incorporates tools, adequately user friendly and highly efficient, that meet the requirements set by industry and consumers worldwide, addressing software for optimization of the AM machines, based on a unified approach.

The main target of the ACloud platform is to facilitate the communication between the producer and the customer while providing several other functionalities including:

• Physics models for

  • Time and mass calculation

  • Machine parameters optimization

• Stock storage management systems/ERP

• Raw material order scheduling

• Production scheduling

• List with available machines, materials, colors and their properties.

• 3D printers’ monitoring

• 3D printers webcam integration

• Platform - machine communication

The platform aims to deliver significant impact in terms of lowering the cost of software, provide secure storage of data in cloud, speed up utilization of manufacturing optimization software taking into account cost, time and flexibility, streamline communications between stakeholders of AM technology, and accelerate product development by expediting collaboration and providing optimization capabilities. These are achieved through cloud-based implementations for holistic production optimization.

Apart from the cloud functionalities, the platform can be also used as a standalone tool that will connect to a manufacturer’s 3D printing machines and enable optimization through physics models, IoT functionalities, live monitoring, ERP and printing jobs scheduling.
