Additive production
Clamping in additive manufacturing
In additive manufacturing, the right clamping technology determines quality, precision and productivity. Whether for the mechanical machining of castings, additive manufacturing of prototypes or 3D printing post-processing – conventional clamping solutions quickly reach their limits. Rigid construction panels, long set-up times and manual clamping processes slow down modern production processes.
AMF offers a consistent solution for this: innovative clamping systems for additive manufacturing that can be perfectly integrated into existing CNC and automation environments. The result: precise workpiece clamping in additive manufacturing, reduced set-up times and maximum repetition accuracy – from 3D printing to finish-machining.


Precise post-processing without reclamping with the substrate plate clamping system
With the segmented substrate plate from AMF, additively manufactured components can be selectively removed, precisely positioned and directly processed further – without reclamping or manual intervention. The compact design allows complete 5-sided machining directly on the build platform, without disruptive superstructures or additional clamping surfaces.
Fastening without screws via zero-point pull-studs ensures secure and fixing with repeat accuracy – ideal for additive post-processing on CNC machines. The system guarantees workpiece clamping for additive manufacturing that is both fast and reliable.
The modular structure and the zero-point clamping system for small batches mean that the clamping system can be easily integrated into existing machine suites. AMF enables maximum precision with a repetition accuracy of less than 5 µm – from high-volume additive manufacturing to individual prototype production.

Free-form clamping system for complex components – flexible, precise and in a reliable process
The AMF free-form clamping system has been specially developed for post-processing of complex geometries. Whether for milling additively manufactured components, machining castings or prototyping in machine building – the system impresses with maximum adaptability and precision.
Any clamping situation can be customized based on a construction kit system consisting of over 100 components. Pressure and cross sliders, support and clamping elements enable clamping in different axial directions – ideal for 5-sided machining without interfering contours. Thanks to automatic pre-fixing and available CAD data, every set-up procedure offers repetition accuracy, time savings and reliability. In this way, you can reduce set-up times, increase machine running times and significantly boost your productivity.
