Competitive landscape
Edge: Focused full-stack automation of AM post-processing (software + hardware + chemistry) rather than only printers or only manual finishing tools.
Most AM spend historically went to printers. PostProcess competes in the less automated post-print step, where consistency and labor cost matter as production volumes rise.
-
Manual finishing / shop labor incumbent
Still common for support removal and finishing.
-
Printer OEM accessory workflows adjacent
Some printer vendors offer wash/cure or powder handling accessories.
-
Other AM post-processing equipment vendors direct
Specialized wash, depowdering, and finishing machine makers.
Notable stories
- Series B was led by Grand Oaks Capital, Tom Golisano's investment firm — a Western New York industrial tech check into Buffalo additive manufacturing (company PR, Nov 2019).
