EPadditiv

EPAdditiv is a software platform focused on additive manufacturing workflow orchestration and supply chain management. It aims to help organizations manage distributed manufacturing networks, connect customers and suppliers, and streamline end-to-end production of parts through 3D printing and related additive techniques.

Overview and features

The platform provides modules for order intake, build preparation, material and inventory management, serialization, and quality assurance. It supports design-for-additive manufacturing guidance, allows users to upload designs, create build jobs, and monitor production progress across multiple facilities. Key capabilities include build planning and scheduling, bill-of-materials management, material tracking, digital twins of parts and processes, and data analytics to optimize performance and cost.

Integrations and deployment

EPAdditiv is designed for cloud-based deployment with multi-site support and API integrations to ERP, MES, CAD tools, and logistics systems. This enables seamless data exchange between design, manufacturing execution, procurement, and shipment workflows. The platform can often be deployed as a software-as-a-service solution or, in some cases, on-premises, with options for professional services to support implementation and change management.

Use cases and impact

Industry use cases include distributed manufacturing programs, on-demand spare parts production, and governance of supplier networks for additive production. By centralizing order management, production scheduling, and quality data, EPAdditiv-oriented solutions aim to improve lead times, visibility, and resilience in supply chains reliant on additive manufacturing.
