The 3MF Consortium is pleased to welcome AMIS as a new Associate Member. AMIS is a startup dedicated to Build Preparation software for Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Binder Jetting (BJ), and Material Jetting (MJ). With deep expertise in software development and strong ties to HYBRID Software, AMIS has made 3MF the foundation of its platform, recognizing the format’s efficiency, interoperability, and ability to streamline additive manufacturing workflows.
As Kris Binon, Managing Director of AMIS, explains:
“AMIS is a start-up company exclusively focused on Build Preparation software for MJF, SLS, BJ and MJ. Given the experience of the team and the connection with HYBRID Software, this was an obvious choice. Equally obvious was the decision to build a fully 3MF-based program.
Before starting any actual development, AMIS thoroughly evaluated the available options in terms of file format and internal structure. It wasn’t long before the development team realised the advantages that come with using 3MF.
In hindsight, it’s obvious that choosing 3MF has led to distinct advantages – in terms of software development, for sure. Yet more importantly: the AMIS users benefit from this choice, too. AMIS Q*Nest, for example, achieves speeds that are previously unseen in nesting – with speeds that are up to 100 times faster, while reaching densities up to 50% higher. All other actions related to Build Preparation are equally more performant as well.
Born in the era of 3MF, AMIS cannot imagine a more logical choice for Additive Manufacturing software.“
“We’re excited to welcome AMIS to the 3MF Consortium as an Associate Member. Their decision to build a fully 3MF-based build preparation software reinforces the value of an open, modern, and efficient data standard for additive manufacturing. With their deep expertise and focus on performance-driven solutions, AMIS is pushing what’s possible in nesting and build preparation, demonstrating the real-world advantages of 3MF. We look forward to collaborating with them to further enhance interoperability and efficiency across the industry.”
Duann Scott: Executive Director of the 3MF Consortium
With AMIS Q*Nest achieving dramatically faster nesting speeds and higher packing densities, AMIS is demonstrating the real-world advantages of 3MF-based Build Preparation. By fully integrating 3MF, AMIS is not only improving software performance but also delivering practical benefits to additive manufacturing users.
We look forward to working with AMIS as they continue to develop high-performance, 3MF-native solutions that push the boundaries of Build Preparation software in additive manufacturing.
