PostProcess Technologies Inc., the first and only provider of automated and intelligent post-printing solutions for industrial 3D printing, announced its entrance into the Asian market with its first distribution partner in Japan, K.K. IRISU (C. ILLIES & CO., LTD.).
Founded in 1859 as the first German trading house operating in Japan, K.K.IRISU is a pioneer in East Asian trade and a specialist for top-end industrial machinery and technologies.
K.K.IRISU offers a comprehensive products and services portfolio for Additive Manufacturing (AM), including scanners, parts prototyping and production, and print technologies such as BigRep, Roboze, and Shining 3D. Adding PostProcess Technologies’ full-stack solutions to its portfolio gives ILLIES customers access to sustainable, data-driven post-printing technology enabling additive manufacturing at scale with local support now readily available in Japan.
PostProcess solutions automate industrial 3D printing’s most common post-printing processes with a software-based approach, including support, resin, and powder removal, as well as surface finishing, resulting in “customer-ready” 3D printed parts. Its technology delivers transformative results, including decreased manual labor, reduced cycle time, improved consistency and repeatability, and lower scrap/reprint rates. Additionally, as an innovator of software-based 3D post-printing, PostProcess solutions will enable the full digitization of AM through the post-print step for the Industry 4.0 factory floor.
