Identify the right parts for Additive.
Turn billions of legacy parts into a prioritised AM pipeline.
- Automated part identification
- Cost vs. conventional
- Print-challenge flagging
- CO2 impact calculator
INTRODUCTION.
Screening a legacy catalogue of thousands, or millions, of parts for AM suitability is impossible to do by hand. AM Identify automates the process, ranking parts by cost, quantity, printability and geometric complexity so your team can focus on the opportunities that matter most.
Built specifically for Laser Powder Bed Fusion, AM Identify understands every challenge involved in printing a part and keeps your VAVE pipeline moving by continuously surfacing and prioritising new candidates.
- Ingest CAD, PLM exports or bulk STEP/STL uploads
- Geometry checks against build envelopes and process limits
- Unit economics compared against the conventional process
- A prioritised, ready-to-action shortlist
KEY FEATURES.
WHY AM IDENTIFY.
The challenge
- Billions of parts sit in legacy systems, and screening them manually is impossible
- AM expertise is scarce and takes time to build and sustain in-house
- Good candidates get lost without a way to prioritise and track them
How AM Identify helps
- Specialised LPBF part identification that understands every challenge involved in printing a part
- Keeps your VAVE pipeline moving by continuously surfacing and prioritising new candidates
- Configurable cost models for your machines and organisation
HOW IT WORKS.
-
Ingest
Pull part data directly from CAD files, PLM exports, or bulk STEP/STL uploads, with no manual re-entry needed.
-
Analyse
Extract geometric features such as wall thickness, overhangs and complexity, and check them against machine build envelopes and process limits.
-
Cost model
Compare AM unit economics (machine time, powder, supports, post-processing) against the conventional process at every order quantity.
-
Rank & report
Score every part on cost, quantity, printability and complexity, and output a prioritised, ready-to-action shortlist.

GO FURTHER WITH AM PARTCONSOLIDATOR.
AM Identify includes a part consolidation identifier. For assembly-level analysis, AM PartConsolidator reads BOMs and mating geometry to flag groups of parts that can be redesigned as a single printed part.
CONNECTED IN AM SUITE.
AM Identify is one of the connected products in AM Suite, Intech's software ecosystem for the complete metal AM workflow.
