OQTON, a software provider dedicated to helping manufacturers increase innovation and efficiency through intelligent, automated production, today announced that FreeForm Technologies, a Pennsylvania-based service agency, has selected OQTON's software – Manufacturing OS and 3DXPert – to enhance its production workflows. OqtonFreeform Technologies supplies more than 500,000 parts annually to the medical, industrial, energy and consumer goods industries.
Integrating Oqton's Manufacturing OS into their workflows will help automate manually repetitive tasks and enhance the estimating process to help reduce errors. Manufacturing OS will also improve the traceability and visibility of each part produced, which is critical for many of the highly regulated industries that FreeForm Technologies serves.
In addition, integrating Oqton's 3DXPert software for additive manufacturing will simplify part design, preparation, build, and inspection. This complete solution, including the expert support of Oqton's customer success team, is expected to help FreeForm Technologies accelerate production, grow its business and maintain its competitive edge.
For additive manufacturing applications, the acceptance of OQTON software solutions continues to grow due to its ability to seamlessly integrate into existing manufacturing workflows, breaking down data silos between business systems such as ERP, CRM, PLM, and QMS. OQTON's Manufacturing OS allows users to configure production environments across equipment, materials, and production routes, with real-time status tracking, and visibility across processes and people. This makes it possible to capture a complete history of production operations and improve utilization through process analysis and optimization.
Integrating 3DXPert with Manufacturing OS enables automated data preparation. Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, users can capture expert knowledge and experience to replicate similar and previously used settings. This includes tasks such as part placement, support generation, nesting, slicing, as well as molding** simulation, reverse compensation, and more. These features enable a smooth workflow from design to print, improving the efficiency of production time and resources.
"We chose to sign the contract with OQTON because of the team's extensive experience in the additive manufacturing process and the fact that OQTON's Manufacturing OS platform was built from the ground up for additive manufacturing," said Chris Aiello, Vice President of Business Development at FreeForm Technologies. This makes it robust and easy to use, even in complex workflows involving critical revision control. We will achieve a more accurate view of the actual cost of the production process than the estimated cost**. Oqton has found a balance between simplicity and complexity. ”
Ben Schrauwen, CEO of Oqton SVP, said: "Integrating our Manufacturing OS with 3DXPert into our production workflow continues to demonstrate value to our customers. With the power of artificial intelligence, we can help our customers realize significant benefits at every stage of the production process, from order entry to production and final parts inspection. We are delighted that Freeform Technologies has chosen Oqton and look forward to working with them to implement our solution to support their future growth." ”
