1. Introduction

This document is valid for AMIS Pro v 1.0 "Public Beta" only.

AMIS Pro is the professional editor for jetting-based Additive Manufacturing systems.
The workflow-based software allows for end-to-end Build Preparation for Binder Jetting and Material jetting systems.
AMIS Pro is developed by AMIS, the dedicated AM-department of HYBRID Software.

AMIS Pro has been designed to follow a typical AM-workflow; a typical user would follow the following process steps:

• Adding (multiple) parts into a Batch (the printers' Build box);
• while adding the part(s), check for errors in the file(s) and correct the errors if possible;
• optimizing the parts' positioning (for 3D-printing);
• Apply binder-, material-, and part-optimization algorithms;
• Optimally nest the parts into the Build box;
• (preview) Slicing of the build box;
• Send the build box instructions to the printer (i.e. slice the parts, 3D-RIP the parts, etc).

1.1 Purpose of AMIS Pro

Overall, the goal of the software is to contribute to a lower cost-per-part, while increasing printer output and guaranteeing consistent, high print and part quality.
This is achieved through:

• workflow-based, fast and accurate Build Preparation, including nesting and slicing;
• a user-oriented, intuitive interface; and
• continued support and upgrades by the AMIS team.

1.2 Target Audience

AMIS Pro is intended for use by AM engineers, (AM) production managers and/or dedicated machine (printer) operators.

It is advised that other people involved in the production chain (e.g. design engineers, post-process operators and managers, administrators) get acquainted with the (features of) AMIS Pro, in order to improve internal communication and cooperation between departments.

1.3 Key Features Overview

AMIS Pro is intended for off-cloud use on Mac (MacOS) and Microsoft (Windows) systems.

AMIS Pro is specifically aimed at binder jetting technologies; key features included are:

• Voxel-based, optimized nesting
• Optimized Shell-Grid-Core function
• Multiple Binder & Material
• Part, Batch, order and supplies management
• 3D Asset Library
• Device status & statistics
• 3rd Party interfacing for simulation, anti-counterfeit / part authentication,…
