Tray recognition picks the recipe; the cell runs unattended, 24/7." canonical: https://amtechnologies.com/products/digital-manufacturing-systems/ updated: 2026-10-09 type: product --- # Automated loading & unloading for PostPro SF100 The PostPro Digital Manufacturing System (DMS) by AMT is a modular automated loading system for the PostPro SF100 vapor smoothing system.[1] It moves trays of 3D printed parts into the SF100 and back out, recognizes each tray so the machine selects the right recipe, and keeps vapor smoothing running unattended, overnight or around the clock.[2] [Request a quote](https://share.hsforms.com/1lOH82JpuRdSM-4wJ1ZeYlw45o6d?website_source=Vapor+Smoothing"ation_request_for_=PostPro+SF100%3BPostPro+SF+Auto+Loader&utm_source=amtechnologies.com&utm_medium=product-page&utm_campaign=site-2026&utm_content=dms-quote) [Test your parts, free](https://amtechnologies.com/test-your-parts/) [Talk to an engineer](https://share.hsforms.com/1fJ9HDr-SRF2NQL0Ez4SoNA45o6d) Configured per project · price on quotation [The originals of automated vapor smoothing[3] · patented process](https://amtechnologies.com/patents/) A DMS cell loading trays into an SF100. ## Load. Smooth. Unload. Repeat. A DMS cell is laid out around your PostPro SF100 systems: a robot loader, tray racks and the SF100s it serves. The automated loader moves batches of 3D printed parts to and from the SF100, for a lights-out vapor smoothing workflow at production volume.[1] Example cell layout, configured per project and not to scale: a robot arm in the center carries trays of parts between two tray racks and two PostPro SF100 systems inside the cell guarding. 1. Robot loader 2. PostPro SF100 3. Tray racks Example cell layout, configured per project, not to scale. 1. Load Trays of printed parts wait in the racks. The automated loader moves each batch into the PostPro SF100.[1] 2. Recognize Every tray that goes in is recognized automatically. A simple marker system lets the SF100 select the correct recipe for that tray of parts.[1] 3. Smooth The SF100 runs its vapor smoothing cycle on the batch. Conditioning · processing · curing · drying · cycles of up to 2 h[4] 4. Unload, then repeat The finished tray comes back out and the next batch goes in, so vapor smoothing carries on unattended, overnight.[1] ## The night shift, automated. DMS was designed so vapor smoothing can run unattended overnight.[1] AMT built it for high-volume additive manufacturing: more throughput, less labor and consistent results from the SF100.[2] ![Overhead view of a DMS automation cell: a robot arm carries a tray of parts between a PostPro vapor smoothing system and the DMS tray station](https://amtechnologies.com/img/plate-dms-640.webp) A DMS cell: a robot arm moves parts between a PostPro system and the tray station. - **Unattended production**: 24/7 unattended production[1]. Engineered for continuous operation, so vapor smoothing runs reliably overnight or around the clock.[1,2] - **Smart tray monitoring**: Tray recognition selects the recipe[2] for each batch, for repeatable quality.[2] - **Seamless integration**: Works with PostPro SF100 systems, including existing installs[2], for a straightforward installation and room to scale.[2] - **Key features**: 24/7 production · Modular system · Smart tray monitoring · User-configurable behavior · Multiple modes · Tailored to your requirements[1] ## Built around the PostPro SF100. The PostPro SF100 is AMT’s vapor smoothing system for high-volume production.[4] DMS keeps it loaded, and it works with SF100 systems that are already installed.[2] - **Chamber**: 400 × 600 × 400 mm[4] · 100 L - **Cycle**: up to 2 h[4] - **Connectivity**: MES/ERP connectivity[2] - **External size**: 830 × 1400 × 1830 mm[2] - [Explore the PostPro SF100](https://amtechnologies.com/products/vapor-smoothing/postpro-sf100/) - [Compare all vapor smoothing systems](https://amtechnologies.com/products/vapor-smoothing/) - [Consumables for the SF100](https://amtechnologies.com/products/vapor-smoothing/consumables/) ![PostPro SF100 vapor smoothing system](https://amtechnologies.com/cad/stills/desktop/assembled-1280w.webp?v=278e417f24) PostPro SF100. ## DMS, answered. Something else? [Ask AMT’s sales team](https://amtechnologies.com/contact-us/?topic=machines) ### What is the PostPro DMS? The PostPro Digital Manufacturing System (DMS) is AMT’s modular automated loading system for the PostPro SF100. It loads batches of 3D printed parts to and from the SF100, so vapor smoothing can run lights-out.[1] ### Which PostPro systems does DMS work with? DMS is built for the PostPro SF100, and it is compatible with SF100 systems that are already installed.[2] ### Can a DMS cell run overnight? Yes. DMS was designed so vapor smoothing can run unattended overnight, and it is engineered for continuous operation, 24/7.[1,2] ### How does the SF100 know which recipe to run? DMS recognizes each tray as it goes in, and a simple marker system lets the SF100 select the correct recipe for each tray of parts.[1] ### Is every DMS cell the same? No. DMS is modular and can be tailored to your requirements, so each cell is configured per project. The layout on this page is an example.[1] ### How much does DMS cost? Each DMS cell is configured per project, so it is priced per project, on quotation. Request a quotation for a PostPro SF100 with automated loading, or talk to AMT’s sales team. ### Can I test my parts first? Yes. Send parts to AMT’s free benchmark program: No cost to evaluate · Parts returned · Typical turnaround 2–3 weeks.[5] ## Plan your automated SF100 cell. DMS can be tailored to your requirements.[1] Request a quote for a PostPro SF100 with automated loading, or tell an AMT engineer about your parts, volumes and floor space.
