Cure Lab
The challenge
Cure Lab, a specialized 3D printing contract manufacturer of medical prosthetics and orthotics, was looking for a solution to process customer orders more efficiently and error-free. Prior to implementing Additive Marking’s Additive Manufacturing Suite (AMS), order requests were often incomplete or inconsistent. With AMS, Cure Lab was able to achieve considerable time savings and a significant reduction in the error rate during order processing.
Our solution
Additive Marking Serializer

A combination of Additive Marking’s software modules take care of Cure Lab’s processing steps from part upload to shipping – specifically our order management module and serializer.
Working with 3D-Up – an automated design software for 3D modeling of orthopedics – we have created a seamless workflow to connect design, order and manufacturing. With multiple software working together in a value chain, improving interoperability is critical to adding value to digital production processes.
After digital design creation, files from 3D-Up are automatically uploaded to our ordering platform via API. In the following step, specific characteristics can be defined, such as color, material type, order volume, etc. Mandatory fields for customer information must also be filled in to reduce the risk of errors in contact information. In this step, customers can also choose to have a direct part identifier integrated into their end product to identify the part throughout its lifecycle. By integrating a machine-readable code that is decodable with our DPM Scan Pro technology, customers can display specific information about their order. This brings numerous benefits, from the quick display of order information to the complete lifecycle management of products.

As the order moves through the various stages of production, status updates can be viewed by the customer, reducing the need for back and forth communication with the manufacturer. Once an order is triggered, packing lists and necessary shipping documents and labels are automatically generated. This reduction of manual steps in Cure Lab’s workflow saves valuable processing time and generates added value for the end customer through complete documentation of the order.
Seamless. Traceable. Efficient.
