AM2CNC: Revolutionizing Metal Part Production in ASEAN

A New Era in Metal Part Production for ASEAN Factories \\[AM2CNC](http://www.DN-solutions.com) is set to revolutionize the way metal parts are produced in Southeast Asian factories. This innovative platform seamlessly integrates additive manufacturing (3D printing) and CNC machining into a single, continuous workflow, eliminating the need for multiple vendors and reducing the time and cost associated with post-printing processes. For factories in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, this means a significant leap in efficiency and quality. \\[DN Solutions](http://www.DN-solutions.com) will be showcasing the AM2CNC platform at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2026 in Schaumburg, Illinois. The demonstration will feature the DLX 450 metal additive system and the DVF 5000 2nd Gen 5-axis machining center, both of which are designed to work together seamlessly. The DLX 450 builds the initial preform, while the DVF 5000 handles the high-precision finishing and tapping, all within a single, connected workflow. \\This integrated approach addresses a major pain point in the industry: the high costs and delays associated with post-printing processes such as finishing, drilling, and inspection. These processes can account for up to 50% of the total cost of an additive component. By combining additive manufacturing and CNC machining into one workflow, AM2CNC significantly reduces these costs and minimizes the risk of quality variations. \\For ASEAN factories, the benefits are clear. In Thailand, where the automotive and electronics industries are booming, the AM2CNC platform can help manufacturers produce complex, high-precision parts more efficiently. In Vietnam, where the aerospace and medical sectors are growing, the platform can ensure that parts meet the stringent quality standards required by these industries. In Indonesia and Malaysia, where there is a strong focus on general manufacturing and mold-die production, AM2CNC can streamline the production process and reduce lead times. \\The DLX 450 is a high-productivity powder bed fusion (LPBF) system with a build chamber of 450 x 450 x 470 mm and up to four Yb fiber lasers, capable of scanning at speeds up to 7 m/s. This ensures high build rates and consistent quality. The DVF 5000, on the other hand, is a compact 5-axis vertical machining center designed for lights-out automation and intricate workpiece geometries. With spindles up to 20,000 r/min and an Automatic Workpiece Changer (AWC), it can operate continuously, even during unmanned shifts. \\One of the key advantages of AM2CNC is its ability to measure each preform directly in the machine and adjust the finishing program accordingly. This ensures that the toolpath references the actual preform on the table, not an idealized nominal, resulting in higher precision and better quality. \\In conclusion, the AM2CNC platform offers a compelling solution for ASEAN factories looking to improve their metal part production. By integrating additive manufacturing and CNC machining into a single workflow, it reduces costs, improves quality, and streamlines the entire production process. For factory buyers, this means a more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable way to produce high-precision metal parts.
