The Aitiip Technology Centre in Spain, renowned for its cutting-edge 3D printing and prototyping capabilities, has taken a transformative step by integrating the S1 shot-blasting machine from AM Solutions into its post-processing operations. This move is aimed at automating time-intensive manual processes, resulting in increased efficiency, reduced costs, and improved surface quality for 3D-printed components.
Prior to the adoption of the S1 system, Aitiip relied on manual post-processing methods, which were labor-intensive and restricted production scalability. According to Pablo Murillo, Chief Development Officer at Aitiip, the shift to the S1 system has brought a substantial boost to their operations.
“Before we installed the S1, all post-processing was manual, which led to high labour costs and limited flexibility. With the S1 system, we’ve significantly increased our production capacity.”
The S1 shot-blasting machine delivers a two-in-one solution by combining cleaning and surface finishing in a single step. This capability has enabled Aitiip to achieve up to 90% time savings, with tasks that previously took hours now completed in just 30 minutes. The machine ensures consistent surface quality, eliminating the need for additional processing and allowing Aitiip to meet stringent customer specifications across various industries.
One of the standout features of the S1 system is its ability to operate in both automatic and manual modes, enabling Aitiip to handle diverse materials and applications with ease. Murillo also highlighted the exceptional support provided by AM Solutions, which has inspired confidence for future collaborations:
“We appreciate the in-depth knowledge in surface refinement and have decided to plan further projects with the same supplier.”
By integrating the S1 shot-blasting machine, Aitiip has positioned itself as a leader in high-quality 3D printing solutions, with a robust and efficient post-processing workflow. The partnership with AM Solutions underscores Aitiip’s commitment to innovation and scalability, ensuring the company is well-prepared to meet increasing industry demands and expand its market reach.
This development marks a significant milestone in Aitiip’s journey, combining cutting-edge technology with operational excellence to drive the future of 3D printing.
