Four New Channel Partners Accelerate Growth

PostProcess Technologies, the pioneer of automated and intelligent post-printing solutions for industrial 3D printing, announced today it has further expanded its channel partner coverage in North America. PostProcess has secured agreements with AdvancedTek, Cimetrix, Fisher Unitech, and Tech-Labs.

PostProcess channel partners were selected based on exacting requirements beyond geographic representation:

Market Leaders: All channel partners are recognized leaders in driving access to and adoption of 3D printing technologies. They include some of the largest, most successful resellers of 3D printers.
Polymers and Metals: All partners represent both metal 3D printing systems as well as polymer. This was critical selection criteria as PostProcess post-printing solutions enable scalability of all materials and all technologies.

Industry Advocates: All partners have established frameworks to educate and support their customers on advanced 3D printing solutions. PostProcess' technologies fundamentally reshape the additive manufacturing opportunity and require partners who are at the forefront of change.

"We have a very high bar for channel partners because of the revolutionary nature of our technology and our role driving next generation 3D printing possibilities," said Jeff Mize, CEO, PostProcess. "All four of our new partners, along with existing partners Prototyping Solutions / Technical Training Aids and TekPro, are proven leaders in additive manufacturing, help drive advanced thinking and cutting-edge technology adoption, and share an exceptional customer service commitment the same as our own."
