Other Modules

The Delta Comparison Module returns visual and numerical geometric differences between two models. As of today, it is not yet activated (empty star on our module list)

We don't actually have a quality assurance module. We check quality in 2 ways:

1) Our computer vision based  In-Process Monitoring Module. It monitors whether what is meant to be printed is ACTUALLY being printed and send various alerts (email, text) if that's not the case as well as pausing the print. It is currently available for some FDM machines. More info on vision.authentise.com or on the relevant help page. 

2) Of course, our MES system is also beginning to allow manual error reporting, Testing result uploads etc. We've built some simple machine learning into this, which should be able to allow us to predict failure in the near future. It is also geared to predicting maintenance needs, though that is not a feature at present.

Interested in receiving an estimate for your order before it is placed? Authentise offers quoting! Quotes are automatically generated by processing information related to the cost and production time of manufacturing all the parts of an order.

In the Line Estimates tab, you can see the individual breakdown of the costs that are factored into producing each piece as well its total cost. These factors include Printing Cost, Print Time, Model Volume, Support Used, Post-Processing Cost, Material Cost, Total Cost, Design Cost, and Bureau Price.

Quotes may change as more information is collected or altered. For instance, if you receive a quote on a line item and decide to change the material, the estimate will adjust to reflect those changes.

In the event you may want to change or update these estimates, clicking Edit will allow you to override the estimated print time, bureau cost, and bureau price. You may…

Our Machine Analytics module captures data from printers and displays it on dashboards. It's also available as a tie in to MES, which uses the data to create operational efficiency (such as generating a traceability report or updating order ID automatically). 

Data types differ for different machines, we focus on these since they're operationally valuable as automation triggers:

However, we get a whole data dump from printers and you can also access that data via the API we provide.

For some, like EOS, you have to pay extra to access the detailed sensor data. Others, like SLM, aren't as detailed. We don't currently integrate 3rd party sensor data, but would love to work with you on that. As I mentioned we're starting to head in this direction with Intel and a number of others.
