After a successful run from 2018 through 2022, PostProcess will relaunch this insightful industry survey to continue capturing insights into the critical but often-overlooked third step in additive manufacturing: post-processing.

Buffalo, NY, USA, and Mougins, France - September 10, 2025 - PostProcess Technologies, the pioneer of automated and intelligent post-printing solutions for additive manufacturing, is excited to announce the kick-off of its Additive Manufacturing Post-Processing Survey. After a successful run from 2018 through 2022, PostProcess will relaunch this insightful industry survey to continue capturing insights into the critical but often-overlooked third step in additive manufacturing: post-processing.

The Post-Processing Survey has become a cornerstone resource for the additive manufacturing community, providing data-driven insights on critical post-printing workflows, including support, resin, and powder removal, as well as surface finishing and other essential steps to achieving customer-ready parts. With contributions from hundreds of professionals across industries and regions, past surveys have shed light on challenges such as time to finish parts, consistency, labor demands, health and safety considerations, and scaling production.

"Post-processing remains the most under-reported yet critical step in additive manufacturing workflows," said Dean VonBank, Chief Experience Officer at PostProcess Technologies. "By relaunching this survey, we aim to give the industry a clear voice in identifying obstacles, sharing best practices, and shaping the path toward a more efficient and scalable future for additive manufacturing."

The survey invites participation from additive manufacturing users worldwide, whether new to 3D printing or seasoned professionals, and will explore:
● Trends in post-processing methods across technologies like Material Extrusion, Vat Photopolymerization, Powder Bed Fusion, and more
● Pain points and challenges, including consistency, safety, sustainability, and throughput
● Investment priorities, such as improving end-part quality, reducing cycle times, and enabling connected smart factories
● Budget allocation insights to better understand how organizations are investing in post-processing as they scale

Findings from this year's survey will be compiled into the forthcoming 2025 Additive Post-Processing Trends Report, offering the global additive manufacturing community a comprehensive look at the evolving role of post-processing in enabling AM production at scale.

Industry professionals are encouraged to participate by completing the survey here.
