Innovative solutions along the 3D printing value chain.

In order for a company to benefit from the advantages of additive manufacturing in the long term, it is first important to take a holistic view of the company's strategy. This is why we focus specifically on your company’s products and processes in the quality management workshops. As experts at Additive Manufacturing Solutions (AMS), we examine existing quality requirements for component parts and manufacturing processes, and examine added value that can be generated through the effective use of additive manufacturing. Together, we develop solutions along the entire 3D printing value chain that are individually tailored to your company.

Workshop

Customer-specific, tailor-made quality management workshops.

No in-depth prior knowledge is required to take part in the quality management workshop. We first ask you to fill in a questionnaire so we can gauge your company's knowledge level and identify which quality management processes we can start with. We will then develop the workshop based on the completed questionnaire. This content ranges from the selection of additively manufacturable component to component digitalisation and product protection, all the way through to component production and the storage of the data in a digital warehouse. In the workshop, the existing quality management in the company is analysed, and based on this, a comparison is made with the requirements that additive manufacturing places on the products and processes. This is followed by implementation, process integration and testing of practical applicability. The focus of the quality management workshops is always on ensuring sustainable quality. For AMS, this means: introducing a quality standard and maintaining it at the desired level in the long term.

Who we are – the team behind AMS

At Additive Manufacturing Solutions (AMS) we have placed the focus on constantly adapting to our dynamic market environment. Using additive manufacturing we have succeeded in creating long-term and sustainable added value and solutions for our company. In recent years, we have dealt with all topics relating to materials, manufacturing processes, quality guidelines and digital transformation in additive manufacturing along the entire value chain.

We have thus made it our mission to make available to you our unique competence in order to jointly solve the current problems of your company. We help you set up your business successfully and sustainably for the future with the help of additive manufacturing.

Thanks to the cooperation with our partner AMS - Additive Manufacturing Solutions Daimler Truck AG and the use of additive manufacturing, we succeeded - despite a tight timeline - in implementing a final product that meets our high quality requirements. The AMS team provided us with competent advice throughout the entire project, in line with their own high quality standards. We were very satisfied from the initial contact, to the project consulting, to the final delivery.

Additive manufacturing, in combination with highly targeted part screening, offers us the possibility to identify relevant replacement parts. We will be able to retrieve these from the digital parts warehouse in future, in order to significantly reduce delivery times and storage costs.

Christian Lehner

Head of Customer Service, Carthago Reisemobilbau GmbH

Through our activities in the field of additive manufacturing in recent years, the immense potential of the technology along the entire value chain has become evident step by step. The opportunities for our own business as well as for the customers range from savings potential to new business models. The future belongs to 3D printing technology. We're certain of that!

Ralf Anderhofstadt

Head of the Center of Competence for Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), Printing Shop & Media at Daimler Buses

For us, 3D printing is the perfect complement to the existing business model.
Thanks to this technology there arise great possibilities both in terms of the availability of components for the customer and in regard to production, but also with a view to leaner processes and avoidance of costs.

Bernd Mack

Head of Customer Services & Parts (CSP) at Daimler Buses

I am really enthusiastic about this technology. It is customer-friendly because the desired products, e.g. spare parts, are available much more rapidly – and the customer gets exactly what they need. It is sustainable because it is possible to produce on-demand: less packaging material, smaller warehouse areas, fewer production rejects! And this makes it economical, both for our customers and for us too. In short: we've accumulated a lot of positive experiences with 3D printing and have built up a lot of knowledge, so now we're keen to share that.

Till Oberwörder

Head of the Daimler Buses Division

It was indeed fascinating to participate in a workshop on additive manufacturing together with the colleagues from the Daimler Buses Center of Competence. With regards to the technology, the key benefits I noted are the highly flexible production quantities, the high speed and great quality of production, and the possibility to reuse any powder left over from the previous production cycle leading to virtually no waste. I believe there is immense untapped potential for companies to reduce storage expenses, shipping costs, and time to market through the use of additive manufacturing on carefully selected parts, and I am very happy to be part of the team that explores these potentials for DTAG in the Middle East and North Africa region.
