Assembrix developed a proprietary cloud-based platform that virtualizes 3D industrial printing. Its Virtual Manufacturing Space platform ("VMS") enables a simpler, more efficient, and secured production process by overseeing the entire additive manufacturing thread, from the initial part model to the verified physical part and beyond. VMS enables multiple in-house users or external clients to monitor, allocate and manage their entire manufacturing space in a fully automated and self-controlled process, whether made up of single or aggregated and distributed 3D printers, thereby optimizing the utilization of all 3D printing resources and improving the ROI. Assembrix partners with printer manufacturers by connecting their machines to its VMS platform and providing its customers with full management and control over their operation within a secured, networked and dynamic supply chain.

• SLM Solutions and Assembrix: Pioneering Secure Remote Printing and Forging Ahead in Their Collaborative Journey (Feb 28, 2024)

  Lübeck, Germany,30th of May 2023 - SLM Solutions, a trailblazer in additive manufacturing technology, and Assembrix, a leading provider of 3D printing software, celebrate remarkable progress in secure remote printing. Building upon the successful integration of Assembrix VMS™ software into SLM Solutions' machines, both companies are now embarking on the next phase to ensure enhanced safety and full protection of customers' intellectual property (IP). This is made possible through the utilization of state-of-the-art blockchain and encryption technologies. Together, they are committed to further strengthening their integrated solution, aiming for industrial-scale availability. Notably, Nanyang Polytechnic's Additive Manufacturing Innovation Centre has already embraced this technology, allowing learners to gain hands-on experience developing innovative solutions for the industry.

  Zaw Hlwan Moe, Manager at Nanyang Polytechnic's School of Engineering, shares his enthusiasm: "By leveraging secure cloud-based solutions, more manufacturing companies can explore remote arrangements while upholding the highest quality control standards. Technological advancements like these can significantly boost productivity in the additive manufacturing industry."

  Assembrix has introduced a revolutionary cloud-based platform that virtualizes 3D industrial printing. Its Virtual Manufacturing Space platform (VMS) simplifies and secures the entire additive manufacturing process, from the initial part model to the verified physical part and beyond. Lior Polak, CEO of Assembrix, elaborates: "With the increasing demand for secure distributed manufacturing solutions, the 'Assembrix inside' integration with SLM Solutions sets the new standard, providing the most secure solution available. It brings substantial value to manufacturers worldwide, reducing costs and mitigating risks."

  A new era of secure remote additive manufacturing has dawned thanks to the seamless integration of SLM Solutions' metal printers with Assembrix software. Customers can now embrace remote printing without any concerns about the safety of their intellectual property. The next phase of this joint project aims to deliver industrial-scale solutions.

  Nicolas Lemaire, Software Product Manager at SLM Solutions, highlights the benefits of this fruitful collaboration: "The productive partnership between SLM Solutions and Assembrix empowers customers to fully leverage secure remote printing processes, supporting their distributed manufacturing strategies. It enhances SLM Solutions' growing software and service solution portfolio, establishing itself as the leading additive manufacturing technology in the market."

• EOS, BEAMIT & Boeing partner with Assembrix to develop cross-continent distributed additive manufacturing model (Feb 28, 2024)

  Manufacturing software provider Assembrix is working with Boeing, EOS, BEAMIT and 3T Additive Manufacturing to demonstrate a cross-continent distributed 3D printing network. The distributed 3D printing solution uses EOS additive manufacturing platforms and leans on Assembrix’s cloud-based Virtual Manufacturing Space (VMS) software. Assembrix’s VMS promises a fully controlled system of 3D printers, overseeing the entire workflow from the part model to verified additively manufactured component in a ‘simpler, secured and more efficient’ production process. The software company was one of the first members of the EOS Developer Network, while BEAMIT-owned 3T Additive Manufacturing is a long-time user of EOS 3D printing technology. Combining technology from Assembrix, EOS and Boeing with a blockchain, the companies say they have proved out the viability of a fully digitalised, global distributed additive manufacturing model. By ensuring a tight ‘on machine’ integration between Assembrix and EOS software, BEAMIT and 3T Additive Manufacturing have been able to leverage the capabilities of Assembrix software via the EOSPRINT and EOSCONNECT APIs and create their end-to-end distributed solution.
  
  Among the features of this distributed network are the ability to securely assign jobs to specific machines with an IP protected and auditable transaction trail, and the ability to monitor the progress of said build jobs in real-time. It also collected data from each machine, which can be monitored to ensure the parameters as defined by the customer – such as machine bay humidity, temperature, print speed or cooling – are being met.
  
  Having successfully demonstrated the distributed additive manufacturing solution, the partners believe they have made a major step towards enabling a ‘secure and transparent’ additive manufacturing supply chain model that can be used by companies, such as Boeing, around the world “We are providing our clients with a virtual additive manufacturing factory, where 3D printers using a variety of technologies and in different geographic locations are remotely and securely controlled,” commented Lior Polak, CEO of Assembrix. “This concept is breaking the boundaries of traditional manufacturing and makes distributed additive manufacturing a reality. We are delighted to partner with industry-leading players in aerospace, automotive and medical to showcase our additive manufacturing secured network and see clients around the world embracing and leveraging our technology. Today more than ever, we see an increasing need for such a solution.”
  
  “Being able to securely connect the customer directly to the AM machine, anywhere in the world, has been a long-standing vision within the community,” added Dan Johns, 3T Additive Manufacturing CEO and BEAMIT Group CTO. “The end-to-end digital integration of a supply chain transforms the business model of traditional manufacturing to a scalable and flexible network of virtual warehouses for on-demand supply, with security and quality embedded into the system.”

• METAL AM: Cybersecurity in Additive Manufacturing: Securing the industry’s future (Feb 28, 2024)

  Assembrix, based in Israel, has developed a ‘virtual manufacturing’ platform that enables machine operators to control and monitor AM build activity remotely. The cloud-based platform enables a simpler, more efficient, and more secure production process by overseeing the entire AM digital thread, from the initial part model to the verified physical part and beyond. The platform enables multiple in-house users or external clients to monitor, allocate and manage their entire manufacturing space, thereby optimising the utilisation of all Additive Manufacturing resources. The backbone of this solution is a secure data environment. This is made possible through the utilisation of blockchain and encryption technologies.

  Assembrix’s approach to implementing this secure environment is to partner with AM machine manufacturers by connecting their machines to the Assembrix platform and providing its customers with full management and control over their operation within a secured and networked system. By collaborating with AM machine manufacturers, Assembrix’s solution can communicate with these machines at a deep machine level, in a secure way. In May 2023, Assembrix announced a partnership with Nikon SLM Solutions whereby the Assembrix platform was integrated into Nikon SLM Solutions machines. This integration facilitates built-in remote manufacturing possibilities. For example, an operator at a central location can operate and monitor AM systems located remotely. Earlier, in 2021, Assembrix partnered with Boeing, EOS, 3T Additive Manufacturing, and BEAMIT, and successfully demonstrated secure cross-continent, distributed Additive Manufacturing. The demonstration showed how a controlled build job was remotely and directly connected to EOS AM machines.
