AMFG, the leading provider of workflow and MES software for additive manufacturing, announced that its Manufacturing Execution System for Additive Manufacturing will power the soon-to-open Digital Manufacturing Centre (DMC), a metal and polymer additive manufacturing (AM) production facility, in Silverstone, UK.
The AMFG MES software will support AM production at the DMC by enabling full process control and traceability of 3D printing jobs and parts.
The Digital Manufacturing Centre will open in the first quarter of 2021 to give local companies access to digital manufacturing capabilities and expert knowledge. The DMC will have a full range of AM capability, including design, engineering, manufacturing, inspection and post-processing, making the DMC a one-stop shop for AM services and expertise.
