encee GmbH will distribute post processing solutions from AM Solutions in the future

In encee GmbH, AM Solutions has found a sales partner that is one of the pioneers in the distribution of 3D solutions and has been active as a reseller in industrial 3D printing since the late 1990s - including as a platinum partner of Stratasys and Makerbot in Germany and as a sales partner of 3D metal printing manufacturer XactMetall. encee currently has more than 550 3D printers in the field and supplies all major industrial printing processes in the plastics and metal sectors. With around 80 years of experience in surface finishing, Rösler offers the right post-processing solution for all industrial printing processes under the AM Solutions brand. In addition, the machines as well as the necessary processing equipment are developed and produced at the headquarters in Germany, which allows the company to react quickly to any customer requests and requirements. Through its collaboration with encee, AM Solutions hopes to provide even more comprehensive advice and support to customers, who will be able to purchase the complete range of equipment from 3D printers to post-processing solutions from the reseller - including sample processing and system service. CEO Horst Eckenberger summarises the expectations of encee GmbH as follows: ‘The partnership with AM Solutions is important to us for two main reasons. Firstly, we can offer our customers the wide range of solutions from AM Solutions for post-processing their 3D printed parts, particularly for the SAF H350 powder machine from Stratasys, which means we have a complete solution in our product portfolio. On the other hand, we use AM Solutions‘ systems ourselves in our own parts production centre and can therefore also demonstrate our own experience with the technology.”

Long-term partnership for optimum customer benefit
AM Solutions specialises in the development and production of post-processing solutions including process development for additively manufactured components made of metal and plastic. The product range covers the complete spectrum from unpacking and removing support structures and adhering powder and sintered particles to cleaning, smoothing and edge rounding of surfaces and surface finishing. ‘We are very selective when choosing our sales partners and attach great importance to a long-term orientation. The down-to-earth way of thinking and the geographical closeness make encee an extremely attractive partner for us, whose portfolio fits very well with our products. We are looking forward to working with our partner encee and to an open and productive exchange with one of the most experienced resellers in the field of 3D printing, from which we can certainly benefit enormously as a premium provider in the field of additive post processing,’ says Tobias Schamberger, Sales Manager at AM Solutions - 3D post processing technology, summarising the expectations of the partnership.

Details of the future cooperation
In addition to selling all AM Solutions standard systems and providing first-level support, encee also processes sample parts for AM Solutions and already has an S1 for this purpose at its headquarters in Ursensollen near Amberg (Bavaria). With its smart 2-in-1 concept for the simultaneous cleaning and surface finishing of powder bed-based polymer print products in just one system, it fits particularly well into the reseller's product portfolio. In future, however, further AM Solutions systems will also be available there for sample part processing - their installation is already being planned. Horst Eckenberger says of the experience gained so far in the collaboration: ‘We are completely convinced by the high level of expertise, the vertical integration and the quality of the solutions from AM Solutions.’

The two partners also want to utilise synergy effects at trade fairs in the future and are now demonstrating their joint contractual partnership at Rapid.Tech 3D in Erfurt: both companies can be found in the immediate vicinity at stand 205 (AM Solutions) and 302 (encee). ‘Nothing stands in the way of successful cooperation in the future and we look forward to doing good business with encee GmbH,’ says Tobias Schamberger.
