Use Case Screening

Empower your Employees to Find New AM Use Cases

Leverage the eyes and minds of your entire team to grow your additive manufacturing. The AM Part Identifier provides a streamlined website to collect potential AM use cases. The market-validated software then evaluates the part suitability based on a technical and economic criteria. Adding employees and customers to augment your AM experts quickly adds AM parts to your production.

Digital AM Use Case Collection

Structured Online Submission Process

AMPI Use Case Screening is always accessible to your entire organization to add potential parts into the evaluation cycle. Employees are guided through a clear series of questions to classify the part and gather the information that is needed.

No AM Expertise Required

The questions and evaluation criteria have been developed to empower anyone to input the information and get a market-validated assessment of the part as an AM business case. The most promising parts are passed along to your AM team to move into production.

Analysis based on Economic and Technical Criteria

Gather all Relevant Data

Production decisions should be made with data. Each use case submission gathers the most important data points about the economic impact and technical specification for each part. That equips your team to make intelligent business decisions about which parts should shift to additive manufacturing.

Find your Most Relevant Use Cases

Because Use Case Screening is available to accept submittals from your employees as they work, they will tend to input the biggest problems and opportunities as they encounter them. The AM Part Identifier takes the last step to weigh both the employee suggestion with the economic and technical realities and to earmark the most relevant opportunities for additive manufacturing.

Accurate Part Scoring

Utilize Market-validated Evaluation

The collection methodology and evaluation criteria were developed in close partnership with AM consultants with decades of experience. That wisdom was packaged into a software tool that can provide an accurate first-step evaluation of parts and scores their potential so that AM experts can move the best use cases into production.

Clear, Dynamic Reports

Your employees get instant feedback from the software to the suitability of their part submission. But more importantly, your experts can organize the reports on submission scoring to match their unique business scenario and their best use case matches. That criteria can be customized to match the most pressing needs of specific departments from shifts in supply chain stability to changes in production demand.

Gather Use Cases from Across your Production Stream

From CAD designers to project managers from the procurement department to your customers, there are applications for additive manufacturing that can add speed and save cost for your company. If you are like most companies, you do not have a pathway to get those ideas into production. AMPI Use Case Screening can be added early to evaluate designs or aftermarket to find spare parts.

Source use cases from every corner of your business.
