The Print 400 Series integrates advanced automation to maximize uptime and productivity.

Its automatic chamber extraction system accelerates changeovers and allows safe external depowdering. Flexible powder handling solutions, from manual to fully automated closed-loop, adapt to different production needs. A high-performance filtration unit ensures stable chamber conditions, reduces gas consumption, and extends filter lifetime with automatic backflushing and built-in passivation.

On the digital side, the AI-powered Human-Machine Interface enables real-time optimization, predictive maintenance, and remote access. Blockchain certification and fleet management complete the ecosystem, ensuring full traceability and operational control across production lines.

Benefits

  • Large-scale productivity: dual and quad-laser configurations for medium-to-large parts
  • Operational efficiency: automated chamber extraction, advanced powder handling, optimized filtration
  • Digital intelligence: AI assistant, predictive maintenance, blockchain certification, fleet management

Need something different? Let’s talk about it.

AltForm systems can be customized with various laser sources: from high-power IR up to 1 kW to green or blue wavelengths, or even hybrid setups for reflective materials. Automation expertise also enables centralized powder management, connecting multiple systems in a single loop to maximize efficiency and throughput.

Software and Intelligence

Every AltForm PBF system comes connected to an integrated software ecosystem designed to simplify operation, reduce the skill barrier, and give production managers full visibility over their machines, wherever they are.

The ecosystem is built on three distinct layers that work together across the full production workflow.

  • The machine HMI is designed for the factory floor: intuitive, structured, and built to guide operators through every step of the process without requiring specialist expertise. At its core is an AI-powered virtual assistant that provides real-time guidance on parameter setup, process troubleshooting, and maintenance procedures, using natural language interaction to make advanced process knowledge accessible to every operator.
  • The mobile interface extends full machine visibility beyond the shop floor. Operators and production managers can monitor build status, receive alerts, and stay informed on active jobs directly from their device, without being physically present at the machine.
  • The fleet management platform provides centralised oversight of all AltForm PBF systems in a facility. Build scheduling, machine status, process data, and performance analytics are accessible from a single interface, enabling production teams to manage multi-machine environments with the efficiency and control that industrial serial production requires.

An intuitive, structured interface designed for the shop floor. Step-by-step process guidance, accessible to operators at every level of experience.

The AI-powered virtual assistant provides real-time support for parameter setup, troubleshooting, and maintenance, in natural language, directly on the machine.

Full machine visibility from any device. Monitor build status, receive alerts, and stay in control without being at the machine.

Centralized oversight of all systems in your facility. Build scheduling, process data, and performance analytics in a single platform.
