Quality Management for Additive Manufacturing
Managing your technical Additive Manufacturing data can be challenging, especially when you are required to follow a rapidly evolving list of manufacturing standards and specifications. The TRACEam Process enables users to streamline project management and documentation at all stages of the 3D Printing workflow. We work directly with your team to build a workflow that makes sense for your industry requirements, application, budget and production objectives.
The Benefits of the TRACEAM Process
Track Your Qualification Process
TRACEam helps your team organize your production process into an easy-to-follow structure. The tool tracks every step of the process, including design, materials, printing, post-processing and inspection. TRACE is constantly updated to incorporate industry-recognized standards, serving as another check to ensure your team adheres to best practices and shortening the time it takes to qualify parts and vendors.
Manage Your Workforce
The tool is specifically designed to enable efficient and targeted communication among your production team members at each phase of the manufacturing process. Real-time updates can help identify downstream issues before money is wasted on materials, machine resources or employee time, and TRACE builds accountability into each step of the process.
Easy Reporting and Analytics
TRACEam makes it easy for you to compile all of the data that you’re tracking into simple, professional reports with the click of one button. This information can help streamline the traceability of your parts at every stage of the lifecycle, making it easy to identify issues, track part inventory and meet reporting demands for any end-users of your 3D Printed parts.
Our Integrated Approach
We have a proven process to help you reach your production additive manufacturing goals faster
01 | Organize workflow and prioritize parameters
We sit down with your team and walk through each step of your current and planned Additive Manufacturing processes. We have developed a TRACEam Quality Audit that gives you a first hand look at gaps in your current processes including standards implementation, training, process control, materials handling, inspection, and post processing.
02 | Create a custom TRACEam Template
Customers will get full access to the TRACEam quality management software along with a custom template that maps all the process parameters outlined in the TRACEam Quality Audit. Developed by experts with decades of additive manufacturing experience, this powerful tool provides companies with a comprehensive view of their 3D Printing programs, including utilization of machines, tracking against relevant industry standards, material selection and batch number, and post processing.
03 | Guided implementation and ongoing support
We work with you every step of the way to provide technical guidance and broad industry experience to help you maximize your investment in Additive Manufacturing technologies. The TRACEam process will increase your manufacturing efficiency, improve your workforce development, and provide your customers with the piece of mind that you are producing repeatable and traceable parts.
