The patented Selective Thermoplastic Electrophotographic Process (STEP) 3D printing technology is the first additive manufacturing technology to offer a viable alternative to injection moulding. The platform combines proven 2D printing technology with a number of proprietary subsystems to evolve additive manufacturing far beyond existing technologies for plastic productions.

It is designed for high-speed, high-volume additive manufacturing and factory-floor integration. The technology achieves high-speed polymer material layering by applying polymer onto rollers like toner in a document printer.

Evolve and PostProcess Technologies Partnernership

Evolve has developed the leading production technology for additive manufacturing, now holding over 100 patents. Evolve selected PostProcess due to their unique data-driven approach that connects the digital thread and optimizes the end-to-end additive process. PostProcess Technologies will partner with Evolve through coordinated proposal efforts that will allow end customers to cost-effectively produce millions of additive parts annually.

According to Jeff Mize, CEO, PostProcess Technologies, “The additive market is advancing towards full automation, and COVID has added urgency to the development of hands-free solutions. The Evolve – PostProcess global partnership unlocks production volumes for manufacturers.”

Mize’s counterpart Steven Chillscyzn, CEO of Evolve Additive Solutions said, “We develop and deploy technology to create additive solutions that bring speed and quality at scale. Our customers look to Evolve to drive next-generation solutions. This partnership with a pioneering company like PostProcess allows us to deliver on this promise by providing an end-to-end automated solution.”

Initial deployment will begin in 2021 as additive becomes a volume production solution as part of Industry 4.0.
