Utilize Your Printer's Full Potential ​​

Achieve higher efficiency and quality, with shorter lead times and reduced costs.

PAAM is a Metal 3D Printer Scan Path Optimizer SW Tool.

It optimizes laser toolpath and machine parameters with the objective to minimize defects and adjust parameter settings based on your objective, quality or productivity.

WHY PAAM

Proactive Defect Resolution

PAAM uncovers and rectifies porosities, print inefficiencies (such as unnecessarily long runtimes), and other toopath related problems before the first layer is laid down.

Data‐Independent Intelligence

Unlike AI approaches that demand vast empirical datasets for each new geometry or production scenario, PAAM delivers immediate insights—whether you’re working with novel materials, printers, or parameter combinations—without any upfront training.

Turnaround time

Even for large and intricate parts comprising thousands of layers, PAAM churns out analysis and corrective guidance in mere minutes—dramatically outpacing the days‐long runtimes typical of conventional simulationbased tools.

Feature Highlights

Analysis

Analyzes build files for possible porosities, suboptimal laser vector scanning and gas flow induced problems.

Suggestion

Gives suggestions for a more optimal parameter set that is geometry dependent and eliminates unnecessary costs. Gives the option to adjust parameters for either best quality or for minimizing costs.

Adjustment

Adjusts laser toolpath and process parameters by region (defined in the CAD file) (e.g. mechanical load…)

Benefits

Higher Efficiency

Maximize your printer’s output with smarter settings that reduce waste and downtime, increasing overall productivity.

Shorter Lead Time

Streamline your printing process and deliver faster results without compromising quality.​

Improved Quality

Achieve consistent, high-quality prints by detecting and correcting porosities before they affect your production.

Lower Costs

Reduce material waste and reprints, leading to higher savings on production costs.

Client testimonial

"After weeks of trial and error using traditional methods on a highly complex component for a demanding industry, PAAM swiftly identified the root cause of defects and provided an immediate path to an effective solution—eliminating the issue entirely. Additionally, the data extracted from the build files enabled the definition of efficient quality metrics, in alignment with industry requirements.”
