Sigma Additive Solutions Expands in Post-Processing With Partnership

Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. announced that it will partner with DyeMansion, a company in connected & integrated post-processing solutions for industrial polymer 3D-printing, to add an integrated hardware/software solution option that offers extra quality assurance for DyeMansion’s post-processing solutions: DM60, Powershot Performance and Powerfuse S.

DyeMansion’s solution, the Print-to-Product workflow and all components are applicable for Industry 4.0 and can be integrated into various production processes. The real-time monitoring and data analytics from Sigma’s Machine Health module complement DyeMansion’s systems by offering reduced cost per part, quality, and high sustainability, the companies report.

This partnership comes after DyeMansion recently introduced their DyeMansion 360° Digital Services at Formnext in November 2022 together with two digital products: DyeMansion Workflow Center & DyeMansion Data Connect. The cloud-based Workflow Center allows users to monitor their post-processing systems and add other complementary software applications such as Sigma’s Machine Health module. DyeMansion Data Connect offers a direct connection to the machine with a standardized OPC UA interface for easy data exchange with external systems.

“We’re thrilled to partner with DyeMansion and move Sigma’s powerful quality assurance beyond the borders of additive systems and into post processing," says Sigma Additive Solutions Chief Executive Officer Jacob Brunsberg. "I’m also very excited about the rollout of DyeMansion’s Workflow Center - it’s a fantastic addition to their product and will place vital data into the hands of owners and operators.”

“Automated quality monitoring across the whole production chain will be an important driver for the factory of the future," says Felix Ewald, CEO and co-founder of DyeMansion. "The solutions from Sigma Additive Solutions can contribute to this significantly.”

As Sigma continues to develop and release quality assurance solutions, it also highlights the growth of its patent portfolio. As of February 24, 2023, the total number of granted patents has increased to 29 with an additional 40 patent applications in process. Recently, Sigma received several foundational patent grants from some of its earliest filed patent families that cover sensor-based machine learning and sensor fusion in on- and off-axis configurations.

Sigma Additive Solutions will be attending AMUG March 19-23 and hosting a booth at Rapid + TCT May 2-4, highlighting the growth of Sigma’s quality technology. Sigma will be scheduling meetings with attendees who wish to learn more at both events.
