Hybrid Software is leveraging its Cloudflow modular production workflow suite to advance the capability of 3D printing, with the introduction of Cloudflow Maker.

Cloudflow was originally introduced at Labelexpo Europe 2011 as software for file processing, asset management, soft proofing and workflow automation. Since then, various updates and modules have been introduced to advance the software’s role in labels and packaging markets.

Cloudflow Maker leverages this experience gained over more than a decade serving industrial print markets, as an enterprise workflow software for industrial-scale binder and material jetting. Specifically, Cloudflow Maker has been developed for additive manufacturing – 3D printing – technologies and provides printer producers and users with an ‘exceptional’ tool to prepare and execute prints.

Mike Rottenborn, Hybrid Software Group CEO, commented, ‘The 3D printing industry is at a crossroads: as printer producers and users turn towards industrialisation, they need software to optimise and streamline their workflows for high-volume production. To achieve this, Hybrid is leveraging its expertise in enterprise workflow for printing to develop value-adding functionalities for binder and material jetting.’
