Mixed Customer Orders
Different quantities, geometries and delivery dates must be planned into practical production builds.
Handle mixed customer orders, repeat batches and changing part geometries with an industrial SLS workflow built around flexible capacity, practical powder handling and scalable production.
The production system has to absorb changing requirements while keeping machines, people and powder moving efficiently.
Different quantities, geometries and delivery dates must be planned into practical production builds.
Running each small job separately increases idle space, cycle count and cost per finished part.
Cooling, depowdering, screening and refilling can restrict output even when printer capacity is available.
Adding machines without a coordinated powder workflow can multiply labor and handling requirements.
MEGA I gives service bureaus the build space and process flexibility to group compatible orders instead of assigning every small job to a separate machine cycle.
Dense nesting converts build volume into sellable output. Repeat parts can be planned as a controlled production job instead of a sequence of small, disconnected cycles.
Coordinate preparation, printing, cooling, depowdering and powder recovery as one production flow.

Check geometry, orientation and production requirements before nesting begins.
Use Inno BP to arrange compatible jobs and make practical use of chamber volume.
Run large mixed builds and repeat batches on a production-focused SLS platform.
Move the build into a controlled post-processing path while preparing the printer for the next job.
Screen, store and blend recovered powder through a coordinated powder-management workflow.
Complete the required finishing steps, inspection and customer delivery.

A production platform should improve the amount of customer work your team can complete, while keeping daily operation practical.
Add industrial SLS capacity with a production system designed around practical expansion.
Reduce repetitive powder-handling work and keep skilled operators focused on production quality.
Connect printing and powder management around a workflow that can support more than one machine.
Move between small functional parts, complex geometries, large components and repeat production.
Consolidate compatible customer work and respond to changing order combinations.
Use chamber volume and nesting density to produce larger quantities per planned cycle.
Connect depowdering, recovery, blending and feeding around real production requirements.
Three production scenarios show how mixed orders, dense batches and coordinated powder handling affect daily operation.
