The PostPro UP is designed to close the final automation gap in the additive manufacturing value chain—unpacking and build cake removal. Intended for high-throughput powder bed systems, PostPro UP enables rapid, automatic extraction and preparation of printed builds for subsequent depowdering, smoothing, and inspection stages. With automated tray and bulk cake handling, the system efficiently eliminates manual labor, reduces health and safety risks related to powder exposure, and ensures a clean production floor.
Integrated with leading AMT Digital Manufacturing Systems, PostPro UP is compatible with major industrial printer brands, including HP Multi Jet Fusion, EOS P3, Stratasys® SAF™, and more. It is engineered for flexible configuration, supporting various build plate sizes and material types. Direct integration with existing depowdering, coloring, and finishing workflows further boosts productivity and repeatability, making high-volume, production-grade 3D printing a reality. As a fully digital system, its operational parameters and recipes are customizable for varying geometries and materials, supporting traceability and process control at industrial scale.

Advantages
Automated Unpacking
PostPro UP utilizes a synergistic combination of mechanical vibration and pressurized air blasts to effectively dislodge and remove excess powder from 3D printed parts. This ensures thorough depowdering while minimizing manual intervention, reducing processing time and improving worker safety by controlling powder dust exposure.
Dedicated Interfaces
The system is designed with tailored mechanical and software interfaces to seamlessly connect with major industrial 3D printers like HP’s NCU, EOS P3, and Stratasys® SAF™. This ensures smooth build unit handling and maximizes compatibility, facilitating easy integration into existing production workflows.
Direct Integration with the AMT Powder Recovery System
By linking directly to AMT’s Powder Recovery System, PostPro UP streamlines the reuse and recycling of excess build powder. This integration supports sustainable manufacturing by optimizing powder recovery rates and reducing material waste, which lowers operational costs and environmental impact.
7-inch Touchscreen HMI
PostPro UP features a user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen interface allowing easy control over processing parameters via customizable recipes. Safety interlocks integrated into the system prevent operation when access doors are open, ensuring operator safety without sacrificing process efficiency.
Ergonomic Loading
The system is ergonomically designed with a loading height of around 1200 mm, reducing operator fatigue and facilitating comfortable build unit handling. Front service access allows quick maintenance and troubleshooting, minimizing downtime in production environments.
Safe
To maximize safety, PostPro UP incorporates dual emergency stop buttons and interlocked safety doors that immediately halt operation if breached. These features safeguard operators against accidental exposure and ensure compliance with industrial safety standards.
Module Pairable
PostPro UP can be optionally paired with AMT’s Depowdering Modules to create a fully automated post-processing line from unpacking to final depowdering. This end-to-end automation boosts throughput, standardizes quality, and reduces labor costs in industrial 3D printing operations.
