The AMCI Solution
Overview
Sustainment and manufacturing teams need faster, more standardized ways to identify which parts are good candidates for additive manufacturing (AM). Manual review is time-consuming, highly specialized, and difficult to scale across large part libraries and mixed legacy data environments.
Additive Manufacturing Candidate Identification (AMCI) is a human-guided AI decision support tool that helps engineers rapidly determine whether a part is a viable AM candidate. AMCI evaluates both 2D drawings and 3D models to deliver standardized printability, lead-time, and cost insights through a secure cloud-based workflow. As a geometry-driven manufacturability and feasibility engine, AMCI helps depots, sustainment teams, and AM engineers reduce manual review time, improve consistency across evaluation workflows, and focus expert effort where it matters most.

How It Works
- Create a new project
Set up a project to organize part files and evaluations. - Upload 2D drawings or 3D model file
Drag and drop part files into the AMCI workspace for analysis - Add optional part context tags
Include tags such as criticality, obsolescence, fatigue, tight tolerance, or other engineering considerations to support more informed review. - Review AMCI results
AMCI evaluates part geometry and returns an AM suitability score with lead-time and cost estimates to support faster decision-making.
Capabilities
- Automated AM Candidate Identification
Rapidly evaluates parts to determine whether they are suitable candidates for AM with limited human input. - Lead-Time and Cost Estimation
Provides projected print time, lead-time, and cost estimates to support cost-benefit analysis and production planning. - Human-Guided AI Decision Support
Combines expert scoring with machine learning to deliver standardized, repeatable part assessments - 2D and 3D File Compatibility
Supports both 2D technical drawings and 3D CAD models, making the tool practical for legacy systems and modern digital engineering environments alike. - Secure Cloud Deployment
Designed for secure Department of War (DoW) use through Amazon Web Services GovCloud with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface for engineering teams. - Accelerated Decision Workflows
Evaluates part candidates over 99% faster than manual assessment, helping organizations reduce bottlenecks and improve readiness.
Flexible Deployment Pathways
AMCI is designed to fit into existing additive manufacturing and engineering workflows, whether as a standalone assessment tool or as an embedded decision engine. It can be deployed as secure software-as-a-service or on-premises software and adapted for government and commercial environments.
- Integrate into 3D printing software suites to provide fast AM suitability, print-time, and cost assessment at the point of use.
- White-label the tool for printer manufacturers, software providers, or engineering partners that want to offer AM assessment under their own brand.
- Equip additive manufacturers and service bureaus with a quick-screening tool for incoming parts, RFQs, and technical data packages.
- Connect AMCI to PLM and digital engineering environments to support more seamless part review and downstream decision-making.
- Deploy as a secure cloud or on-premise capability tailored to operational, enterprise, or partner-specific requirements.
