Overview
TEEXMA for Additive Manufacturing is a modular software platform to digitize, standardize and manage the full additive manufacturing (AM) value chain from design to finished part. The platform centralizes materials, processes, quality and production data to ensure traceability, support decision-making and optimize costs across complex AM workflows.

Key issues in Additive Manufacturing

• Coordinating multiple stakeholders and roles within AM projects
• Rigorous traceability and lot management of consumables (powders, feedstock)
• Maintaining elevated quality standards versus conventional processes
• Ensuring end-to-end data traceability to demonstrate process conformity
• Controlling project costs and production economics for small series or customized parts
• Complying with industry-specific regulatory and qualification requirements

TEEXMA value proposition

• Digitize and centralize AM workflows from design to production execution
• Manage materials, processes, quality and traceability in a single platform
• Support project planning and operational decisions with visual tools (Tree View, GANTT)
• Provide libraries and templates for manufacturing steps, machine parameters and SOPs

Additive Manufacturing project management

• Project submission portal for production and R&D requests
• Part lifecycle: geometry analysis, material and process selection, cost estimation

Powder and materials management

• Centralized materials database with dynamic, customizable forms
• Direct integration of material data sources and standards
• Characterization and test-result traceability (mechanical, chemical, morphological)

SOP, workflow and equipment management

• Process library with machine parameters, product definitions and specifications
• Configurable validation workflows for each manufacturing stage
• Equipment register and maintenance tracking integrated into production workflows

Production control and monitoring

• Machine monitoring with real-time alerts for operators and maintenance
• Production setup: configure stages and monitor KPIs (OEE, throughput)
• Consumables tracking and inventory oversight for powders and materials

Tests, validation and quality

• Conformity validation with traceable simulation and test records
• Material and part characterization (mechanical properties, chemistry, porosity, surface finish)
• Quality action plans: log events and manage corrective/preventive actions

Post-processing and traceability

• Stepwise documentation of the complete manufacturing and post-processing cycle
• Barcode and QR code support to simplify tracking and ensure full traceability

Simulation and digital twins

• Create simulations and digital twins to virtually test and tune parameters before production
• Visualize parameters to detect upstream errors and reduce prototyping costs

Demand management, planning and decision support

• Project planning: schedule AM projects for development and production needs
• Information visualization: multiple views to monitor status, participants, schedules and materials
• Model comparison and decision support to evaluate production options

Industries & use cases

• Designed for high-demand sectors: Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Energy & Nuclear, Medical, Industrial Materials
• Supports low-volume production, customization and critical-part traceability

Technical features / specifications

• Modular solution covering projects, materials, processes, production, quality, SOP/workflows, tests and post-processing
• Centralized materials database with customizable forms and direct import of material references
• Complete historization of process parameters and test results (lot-to-part traceability)
• Configurable multi-step validation workflows and approval traces
• Machine park monitoring and alerting for maintenance
• Planning tools (GANTT, tree views) and priority/resource allocation
• Analysis and model comparison tools for cost, process and material decisions
• Simulation and digital twin capabilities for pre-production validation
• Embedded AI features: predictive process analysis and technical chatbot for knowledge extraction
• Barcode/QR code tracking support across the manufacturing lifecycle
