Shapeways Reinforces Partnership with AM Solutions

AM Solutions has signed an agreement at Formnext 2023 with Shapeways Inc., which will join its Beta Partner Program for the company’s C2 Liquid Color Smoothing technology. This represents a strengthened relationship with Shapeways, which invested in AM Solutions S1 and S2 technologies earlier this year after taking part in the Beta Program for the S2 post-processing solution, the companies report.

“Our interest in the C2 from AM Solutions is because it provides AM part post-processing results that are increasingly demanded by both our B2B and B2C customers," says Jules Witte, plant manager at Shapeways’ Eindhoven-based facility. 

The C2 from AM Solutions, with its 2-in-1 Liquid Color Smoothing process, is capable of smoothing and dyeing parts in a single pass. The result is a streamlined process chain with both functions being performed by one machine. It also reduces the total capital investment required and lowers the cost per finished part. 

“Working with us on the C2 Beta Partner Program endorses that Shapeways and AM Solutions both recognize the pivotal value of this technology for the AM sector,” says Tobias Schamberger, head of Sales at AM Solutions—3D post-processing technology.
