Dyndrite

Dyndrite offers a range of software solutions for the additive manufacturing industry. The company’s flagship product, the Additive Manufacturing Toolkit (AMT), is a Python-based API that enables users to create customizable, automated workflows, for a range of AM use cases such as toolpath generation, material development, production line automation, and process qualification. The company’s solutions are powered by a proprietary “Accelerated Computation Engine” (ACE), designed to enhance the speed and efficiency of 3D-printing processes for users to work with more complex designs and larger build volumes. Dyndrite's software also focuses on improving material development processes, allowing for more efficient exploration of new alloys and print parameters.

In November 2023, Dyndrite introduced its first end-user software, Dyndrite Materials and Process Development for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). This application is a toolpath control system that enables users to work with multiple layer heights, print intricate geometries, control surface roughness, and develop support-free build strategies. The software supports machines from manufacturers including Aconity3D, EOS, Renishaw, and SLM Solutions. In June 2024, the company announced plans to launch a version of this solution for HP’s Multi-jet Fusion (MJF) and Metal Jet line of 3D printers, offering features such as automated build preparation and fully controllable 2D and 3D advanced labeling

Key customers and partnerships

Dyndrite has established technology partnerships with several major players in the additive manufacturing industry. These include Aconity3D, EOS, HP, NVIDIA, Plural Additive Manufacturing, Mimo Teknik, Meteor, and Renishaw, among several others. As of September 2024, its enterprise customers included Eos, Renishaw, Aconity3D, and Nikon SLM.

In May 2023, Dyndrite announced collaborations with BCN3D to power its Viscous Lithography Manufacturing technology as well as UPM Additive Solutions to develop "smart" build plates for the metal AM industry. Dyndrite also partnered with AMFG in November 2023 to create an integrated solution for automated metal 3D-printing workflows.  A year later, it partnered with Nikon SLM Solutions, Nikon's selective laser melting technology company, to integrate its LPBF Pro software with Nikon's metal 3D printer portfolio.

In November 2023, the company established a “Materials Consortium” for additive manufacturing, alongside AM industry solution providers Constellium, Elementum 3D, and Sandvik. The consortium was designed to make LPBF powder parameters and related testing data for common materials publicly available to end users.

Moreover, the company also partnered with research institutions to further its R&D efforts. In April 2023, it joined the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) to collaborate with researchers from the NMIS Digital Factory on R&D projects. These include assessing fatigue strength and corrosion resistance for biomedical applications and identifying suitable materials properties for parts used within the energy sector. In November 2023, Dyndrite went on to join the ASTM International Consortium for Materials Data and Standardization (CMDS) initiative to collaborate on standardizing the requirements for AM materials data generation and creating shared “reference” datasets. The initiative included members such as AddUp, Auburn University, Boeing, Desktop Metal, EOS, Fraunhofer IAPT, GE Additive, GKN Additive. In September 2024, the company joined the Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing (ACAM) to develop new additive manufacturing solutions. The partnership aimed to combine Dyndrite's expertise in mathematics, computation, and manufacturing with ACAM's network of industrial and scientific partners to address challenges in process automation, materials development, and digital manufacturing at scale.
