Filament manufacturing software for the places generic MES tools blur.

acqSYS is built around the realities that decide margin, process stability, and trust in filament production: continuous extrusion, per-spool proof, formulation-to-SKU complexity, transition output, and customer-facing verification.

Where generic systems struggle

What filament production actually demands.

A system can look complete on a checklist and still lose the filament-specific details between planning, setup, extrusion, process tuning, QC, packaging, stock, R&D learning, and customer proof.

01

Variant pressure

Material, diameter, color, spool size, packaging, brand, EAN, and customer-specific versions all have to stay connected to manufacturing formulation and line setup.

02

Continuous process evidence

Diameter X/Y, speed, pressure, temperature, and other line signals matter across a production window. Trends tell the quality story better than isolated values.

03

AI planning and review loops

The AI Production Planning Agent turns selected demand into scheduler-validated scenarios, while AI Process Advisor beta uses connected process and QC context for quality-risk, performance-stability, and optimization review.

04

Spool as the truth unit

Every spool carries its own job, line, operator, recipe, raw-material lot, full process-telemetry window, QC result, label, and verification history.

05

Transition material

Color changes and warm-up runs often create usable product. acqSYS treats transition output as separate planned work with QC, labels, traceability, and OEE handling.

06

Knowledge at setup

Machine setup, formulation, process targets, shift context, and job comments reach the operator screen before the line starts, where mistakes are still preventable.

07

Customer-visible proof

QR verification lets customers see the production and quality details you choose to share. Premium filament gets a proof layer that matches its promise.

For filament manufacturers

Built for extrusion logic, not adapted from another factory shape.

The operating workflow, QC rules, OEE calculation, AI planning, AI Process Advisor (beta) loop, operator screens, and process-learning path are designed around filament extrusion. Configurations, recipes, process data, and reports map to the way the plant actually runs and improves.

What acqSYS treats as first-class

  • Spool as the unit of output — not a batch approximation.
  • Three-tier QC (Passed / Length Fault / Diameter Fault) — not a vague pass/fail.
  • Manufacturing recipe distinct from commercial SKU and EAN.
  • Transition jobs separate from standard production, with their own labels and OEE handling.
  • Preparation time separate from production time.

What generic MES misses

  • Diameter tolerance per product type with measured Cpk.
  • Customer-facing QR verification built into the label workflow.
  • The seam between continuous extrusion and per-spool packaging.
  • Multi-brand / multi-EAN under one production recipe.
  • The operator-facing distinction between "what we planned" and "what actually ran."
Filament manufacturer proof

3D-Fuel runs acqSYS in live filament production.

Their experience shows why filament manufacturers need more than a production dashboard: planning, operator work, QC records, spool traceability, process history, and management visibility have to support one another during daily production.

What changed

Planning, QC, traceability, and process history stayed connected

  • Production planning became more visual and easier to discuss.
  • QC records became more connected to spool and job context.
  • Historical production data created a stronger basis for process improvement.

Use the conversation to test one filament-specific constraint: transition output, SKU versus formulation, spool QC, process signals, or the report your managers and technologists still rebuild by hand.
