Manufacturing Intelligence
The next-generation MES platform for additive manufacturing. Schedule smarter. Build faster. Ship on time.
Designed to Solve Real AM Problems
Every feature addresses challenges we experienced firsthand running SLS production floors.
End the Scheduling Spreadsheet
Most AM shops schedule builds on whiteboards and spreadsheets, spending hours juggling machine capacity, changeover timing, and due dates. Vectrik replaces all of that with a visual Gantt scheduler that understands SLS-specific constraints like cooldown chambers and auto-changeover windows.
Audit-Ready from Day One
Preparing for ISO 9001 or AS9100 audits shouldn't mean weeks of digging through paper records. Vectrik captures full traceability automatically — every part linked to its powder lot, every stage documented, every quality check recorded in-flow.
No More Surprise Downtime
When a build finishes at 2 AM and no operator is available for the changeover, your $200/hr machine sits idle until morning. Vectrik's changeover analysis flags these risks before you commit to a schedule, so you can plan builds that keep machines running continuously.
Built for Additive Manufacturing
From SLS build scheduling to final quality inspection — one platform, complete control.
Intelligent Scheduling
AI-powered build advisor optimizes plate composition, machine allocation, and changeover timing to maximize throughput and minimize downtime.
Shop Floor Execution
Operator-friendly stage queues guide work through every production step — from SLS printing through depowdering, EDM, machining, and finishing.
Quality & Compliance
Inline QC checks, NCR management, and full traceability keep you audit-ready for ISO 9001, AS9100, and ITAR requirements.
Real-Time Analytics
Machine OEE, cost analysis, and on-time delivery dashboards give you complete visibility into production performance.
Who It's For
Purpose-built tools for every role on your manufacturing team.
Production Managers
Real-time visibility into every job, machine, and deadline. Know exactly where every build stands and what needs attention next — without walking the floor.
Operations Directors
Data-driven decisions with OEE, cost, and capacity analytics. Understand true machine utilization, identify bottlenecks, and forecast capacity with confidence.
Quality Engineers
Built-in NCR tracking, SPC charting, and audit-ready traceability. Every part carries a complete history from powder lot to final inspection — ready for any auditor.
Shop Floor Operators
Intuitive stage-by-stage guidance with checklists and timers. See your queue, follow clear work instructions, and log completions without leaving the workstation.

How It Works
Connect Your Machines
Set up your SLS printers, CNC machines, and post-processing stations in minutes. Configure shifts, operators, and production stages to match your shop floor.
Schedule Builds
Our AI-powered advisor recommends optimal build plates, timing, and sequences. Drag-and-drop Gantt scheduling with automatic changeover analysis.
Track Production
Monitor every stage from print to ship with real-time dashboards, operator queues, and automated alerts. Never miss a delivery again.
Built for Production Scale
Purpose-Built for Metal AM
Unlike generic MES platforms retrofitted for 3D printing, Vectrik was designed from day one around additive manufacturing workflows.
Changeover-Aware Scheduling
The scheduler understands cooldown chamber capacity, operator shift windows, and auto-changeover timing to keep your SLS machines running continuously.
Multi-Stage Production Tracking
Track every job from SLS print through depowdering, wire EDM, CNC machining, finishing, QC, and shipping — with both build-level and part-level operations.
Compliance-Ready Traceability
Full digital history from powder lot to shipped part. Built to support ISO 9001, AS9100, and ITAR compliance workflows out of the box.
Why Not a Generic MES?
Traditional MES platforms were built for CNC and assembly lines, then retrofitted for 3D printing. Here's what they miss.
| Capability | Generic MES | Vectrik |
|---|---|---|
| Cooldown chamber & changeover modeling | — | |
| Build plate composition & stacking | — | |
| Operator shift-aware scheduling | Manual | Automatic |
| Multi-order build plates | — | |
| Build-level & part-level stage tracking | Part only | |
| Powder lot genealogy & reuse tracking | — | |
| SLS/DMLS-specific AI build advisor | — | |
| Setup time | 3-12 months | Days |
