What AM Solutions - 3D post processing technology does

AM Solutions - 3D post processing technology is the additive manufacturing brand of Rösler Oberflächentechnik GmbH, a family-owned German industrial surface-finishing group with more than 90 years of heritage. The brand, established in 2019, supplies industrial automated post-processing equipment for 3D printed components across all major polymer and metal printing technologies (SLS, SLM, DMLS, EBM, MJF, SLA, FDM). Its product portfolio comprises shot blasting systems (S1, S1 Basic, S1 Wet, S2, S3), chemical immersion systems (C1, C1 Max), mass finishing systems (M1, M1 Basic, M3 Pro, M4, M4 Basic), powder management stations (D1, F1, PowderEase T1), and DLyte dry electropolishing systems, supplemented by internally developed consumables (blast media, process fluids) and the Manufacturing Service Partner (MSP) offering for end-to-end AM production support.

The business operates through direct enterprise field sales backed by the Rösler Group's global service network spanning 15 countries, OEM-integrated partnerships with HP, Stratasys, EOS and Mimaki (where AM Solutions equipment is sold alongside or co-developed for specific printer platforms), and regional channel partners such as encee GmbH in Germany. Revenue is generated from capital equipment sales (hardware), recurring consumables (media and process fluids), professional services and training via the Rösler Academy, and 24/7 spare parts and maintenance contracts. Customers span automotive (Renault Flins, Aufeer Design), motorsport (Sauber/Stake F1), aerospace (Heraeus AMLOY), medical devices (IFC), 3D printing service bureaus (Weerg, FORMRISE, Shapeways) and research/technology centers (Aitiip), with documented productivity gains of up to 50%-90% versus manual post-processing.
