Additive Manufacturing Industry’s Only Survey Focused on Post-Processing Trends is Now Open

Findings from 3D Printing Users will be Compiled into the Comprehensive Annual Report

Buffalo, NY, October 18, 2022-- The fourth annual edition of the Additive Manufacturing Post-Processing Industry Trends Survey is now open and seeking participation from 3D printing and additive technology users everywhere. Sponsored by PostProcess, category creator and leading provider of automated 3D post-processing solutions, this survey will explore needs and solutions by market, providing an in-depth, segmented look at additive post-processing across a myriad of applications.


The data from this survey will be tabulated and insights summarized into a comprehensive report conveying additive users' most common post-processing methods, frequently reported challenges, growth plans and more. This initiative will expand upon insights found in the three preceding annual reports, which serve as integral resources to the rapidly evolving additive industry.

"I often hear post-processing referred to as the dirty little secret in additive manufacturing, but it doesn't need to be," stated Melissa Hanson, Chief Marketing Officer at PostProcess. "We are excited to continue our mission of bringing this critical step in the overall 3D printing workflow to the forefront and spearhead the analysis of post-processing trends, which comes with much anticipation and is essential to growing the rapidly evolving additive industry."

All 3D printing and additive technology users familiar with post-processing are encouraged to participate in this survey, which will remain open through November 4, 2022. In addition to being granted early access to the report, respondents will be entered to win one of five giveaways.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
