Sample question from Sculpteo’s interactive online tool, AMT Business Case. It then generates a list of possible materials for production, the range of prices across that list and a proposed delivery date. AMT Business Case – 3D-Printing GuidanceSculpteo says AMT Business Case is a self-learning, AI-based decision tree that steps users through up to 35 questions about the proposed part: its application, the critical parameters (including tolerance, price-range, surface roughness and desired delivery date), and how much force (if any) will be applied to it. The suite comprises six online tools on track for roll-out over the next few months, of which AMT Business Case is the first. Sculpteo says it is developing AMT to help designers, mechanical engineers and manufacturers “get their metal AM projects on track,” tackling what it sees as the major roadblocks in this field. This value-added package might be just what you need to get started in the metal AM world. The particular bonus? Sculpteo has recently started offering a new design-guidance software suite called Agile Metal Technology (AMT).

The first is the AMT Business Case that helps users choose material, price and critical parameters.

Sculpteo has launched the first of six interactive tools in its Agile Metal Technology suite for 3D printing with metals.
