The additive manufacturing industry is experiencing a transformation in its applications, with a move from prototyping to end-use part production. This is the reason why post-processing technologies are becoming so key. Founded in 2017, the startup AMT provides patented post-processing solutions for 3D printed parts. Its vision is to enable the application-driven adoption of sustainable additive manufacturing at scale. Today, having the materials and the printers is not enough, companies must think about application performance to drive AM at scale. We had the pleasure of discussing this with Joseph Crabtree, Founder and CEO of AMT. He told us about his vision of the market, the importance of post-processing and AMT’s patented solutions!
3DN: Can you introduce yourself and your relationship with 3D printing?
My name is Joseph Crabtree, and I am the founder and CEO of AMT. I founded AMT in 2017, after 14 years of experience in engineering and traditional manufacturing which ultimately led me into the 3D printing industry. Throughout my prior experience, I noticed a major bottleneck in the additive manufacturing industry and wanted to bring a more pragmatic solution to how we can actually scale the industry.

Joseph Crabtree is the Founder and CEO of AMT
AMT provides patented, fully automated, safe and sustainable post processing solutions for 3D printed parts, called PostPro. Our technology enables and empowers the use of industrial additive manufacturing to produce end-use parts at the right cost, at the right time and most importantly at high quality performance properties for each application.
