Berlin/Los Angeles-based startup 1000 Kelvin announced the full commercial availability of its AI-powered software, Amaize, at Formnext 2023. The company also unveiled its first integrations with commercial 3D printer manufacturers - including EOS — and customers, including a California-based rocket launch provider.

By using a physics-informed AI, Amaize automatically identifies and corrects issues in a print file without altering the original design to achieve a perfect part the first time it is printed.(Source: 1000 Kelvin) — By using a physics-informed AI, Amaize automatically identifies and corrects issues in a print file without altering the original design to achieve a perfect part the first time it is printed.

Amaize's AI-powered software enables the generation of optimal print recipes using physics-based AI technology for first-time right 3D printing. Users upload a print file to the cloud, which analyses the part and automatically corrects thermo-mechanical issues by optimising the scan strategy and process parameters. This eliminates the need for costly finite element simulation software and multiple physical iterations that waste material, energy and money.

1000 Kelvin has already directly integrated the cloud-native Amaize solution with several machine OEMs, enabling next-generation AI software and computing infrastructure for additive manufacturing. As a result of the successful completion of its early adoption programme, Amaize has already been adopted by companies in the energy, aerospace and contract manufacturing industries. One example is a California-based rocket launch provider that was facing significant challenges in 3D printing a critical part. Problems included print failures due to overheating and significant reductions in support structures, resulting in inefficiencies and delays.

Using Amaize, the company was able to digitally iterate solutions to these thermal management problems. The result was a successfully printed part with improved surface quality and performance. Most importantly, Amaize enabled the customer to reduce support structures by more than 80 percent, resulting in a reduction in total cost per part of more than 30 percent when considering both material savings and post-processing costs. This case study illustrates how Amaize's focus on tackling the root cause - thermal management - can significantly accelerate time to market.

1000 Kelvin has so far secured three million dollars in funding, which has allowed it to grow beyond Europe and establish a presence in Los Angeles, California to cater to its clients in the aerospace and defense industry.
