Is your part ready for additive manufacturing?
Technical AM suitability analysis for metal parts with a focus on Laser Power Bed Fusion (LPBF).
Assess AM suitability early.
Many parts look suitable for AM at first glance but fail later due to geometry, support effort, material choice, or cost. readyforam helps classify these points technically at an early stage.
Gain clarity
Get a technical assessment before time is spent on quotes, design iterations, or production trials.
Identify risks early
Critical geometry features, support effort, and potential process limits become visible.
Prepare the next step
The analysis shows whether a production request, part optimisation, or deeper review makes sense.
Two analysis types. One clear basis.
readyforam offers two AM suitability analyses: a cost-effective, standardised assessment for quick technical orientation – and an in-depth Expert Review for a well-founded technical assessment.
Automated AM Suitability Check
Cost-effective, standardised assessment for quick technical orientation – with an expert-verified short report.
- Cost-effective initial assessment
- Quick technical orientation
- Standardised analysis
- Expert-verified short report
Individual Expert Review
In-depth technical analysis with expert assessment, evaluation of alternative AM processes, and a detailed report.
- In-depth technical analysis
- Expert technical assessment
- Consideration of alternative AM processes if required
- Detailed report

Start analysisWhat the report covers
Every analysis report includes a clear AM suitability assessment, identified risks, and concrete next steps – supplemented in the Expert Review by in-depth classification and process comparison.
Included in the AM Suitability Check
AM suitability
Clear assessment of whether the part is fundamentally suitable for additive manufacturing.
Risks and opportunities
Notes on geometric problem areas, process risks, and optimisation potential.
Critical features
Classification of relevant geometry features such as overhangs and wall thicknesses.
Individual in-depth assessment
Technical classification
AM experts assess critical points in depth and in the context of the specific application.
Alternative AM processes
Suitable alternatives to LPBF are considered where applicable.
Suitable alternatives to FDM/FFF are considered where applicable.
Concrete recommendations
The report outlines sensible next steps for optimisation, enquiry, or implementation.
How the analysis
works
From selecting the analysis type to the structured report – in three steps.
View full processSelect analysis type
Choose the right analysis type and provide the 3D model of your part along with relevant requirements.
Technical analysis and expert assessment
Your metal part is analysed geometrically, classified technically, and assessed for LPBF suitability. Your polymer part is analysed geometrically, classified technically, and assessed for FDM/FFF suitability.
Receive report
You receive a structured report with assessment, risks, and recommendations.
Technical expertise. No empty promises.
Expert-verified
Every analysis is technically reviewed and informed by years of experience in additive manufacturing.
Neutral and independent
No ties to machine vendors or service bureaus – the assessment is guided by the part and the technical goal.
No generic statements
The assessment is specific to your part, the chosen AM technology, and the relevant boundary conditions.
