Material Management Software for Additive Manufacturing
Managing material traceability manually is time-consuming, error-prone and difficult to audit. Authentise Materials Management helps additive manufacturers track powder usage, material genealogy, reuse cycles and batch history in one system, providing the visibility needed for compliance, quality assurance and efficient production.
MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
WHAT IT IS
A digital system for material genealogy and traceability.
Tracks powder, batches, containers and reuse history throughout the manufacturing process.
WHAT IT ENABLES
Complete visibility into material usage and reuse.
Monitor genealogy, reconcile inventory and maintain compliance-ready records automatically.
WHAT IT REPLACES
Manual logs and disconnected spreadsheets.
Eliminates paper records, duplicate data entry and uncertainty around material history.
WHY IT MATTERS
Reduced risk and simpler audits.
Improve quality, support certification requirements and ensure every part has a traceable material history.
