UNTERMERZBACH, Germany, May 18, 2026 – AM Solutions – 3D post-processing technology expands its portfolio with the S1 Basic, a new compact solution for the automated cleaning and surface finishing of 3D-printed polymer parts in the industrial entry-level segment. The system addresses the growing diversity in the additive manufacturing market. While highly automated production solutions remain important, there is also a growing focus on compact systems for smaller parts and batch sizes. The S1 Basic will be presented for the first time at the 3D Print show in Lyon from June 2 to 4, 2026, and will be available for purchase starting that date.
Even in the entry-level segment of industrial 3D printing, demand is rising for automated post-processing solutions, as printer manufacturers increasingly introduce compact systems for smaller parts and batch sizes, facilitating entry into additive manufacturing. Meanwhile, manual post-processing steps are becoming less cost-efficient, reproducible, and conducive to high-quality parts.
The S1 Basic addresses the growing demand for entry-level additive manufacturing
AM Solutions has expanded its portfolio with the new S1 Basic, a solution that precisely addresses this demand. The system is specifically designed for the automated cleaning and surface finishing of smaller batch sizes in the polymer sector.
“We see printer manufacturers clearly intending to provide solutions for entry into additive manufacturing at an industrial level, alongside large, high-performance systems for series production. Smaller, more accessible products are lowering barriers to market entry, but expectations for part quality remain consistently high,” explains David Soldan, Head of AM Solutions – 3D post-processing technology. “Regardless of this development, we recognized the need for a compact, industrial post-processing solution early on and began developing a corresponding system. With the S1 Basic, we will offer a commercially available product starting in June that fills this market gap, particularly for cost-effective and reproducible post processing of small batches,” Soldan continues.
The system’s development is based on AM Solutions’ extensive experience in industrial post-processing, particularly shot blasting technology. After multiple development and testing cycles, the S1 Basic was designed to be robust, stable, and user-friendly.
The new system will premiere at the 3D Print show in Lyon, where it will be showcased live at the AM Solutions / Rösler France booth. Rösler France is part of the Rösler Group, which operates internationally, and is responsible for AM Solutions’ activities in the French market. A detailed technical presentation will take place as part of the official product launch in June.
