Authentise Flows Additive MES

Authentise is an additive manufacturing software company headquartered in Philadelphia with an office in London, which started at Singularity University in 2012. It addresses the paperwork, spreadsheets and disconnected tools that slow down industrial 3D printing and make traceability for regulated parts difficult.

Authentise Flows is a manufacturing execution system that manages order intake, production planning, nesting, build preparation, machine monitoring, quality assurance and delivery from one dashboard. Materials Management tracks powder batches, consumables and certifications with full genealogy, Machine Connector links 3D printers and CNC machines, and Design Warehouse versions and distributes 3D files. Threads and the Whisper agentic AI layer capture engineering decisions and make them searchable. The API-first platform offers over 700 integration points, including Autodesk Fusion, and serves aerospace, defence, medical and industrial manufacturers such as Boeing, Ricoh, Eaton, 3M and Danfoss.

• Production workflow: order intake, scheduling, nesting, build preparation and delivery managed in one dashboard.
• Material genealogy: powder batches, consumables and certifications tracked for compliance reporting.
• Machine Connector: 3D printers and CNC machines report status, jobs and utilisation in real time.
• Design Warehouse: 3D files are stored, versioned and distributed with audit trails.
• Whisper AI: an agentic layer captures engineering intent and makes decisions searchable.
• Open integration: 700+ integration points with ERP, Autodesk Fusion, quoting and design tools.

Vietnamese 3D printing service bureaus can automate quoting, scheduling and order tracking for many industrial clients. Aerospace and medical device suppliers in Vietnam can keep powder genealogy and build records needed for customer audits. Manufacturers running mixed fleets of 3D printers and CNC machines can monitor utilisation and plan production from one system.

Authentise reports up to 95% reduction in manufacturing preparation time, 90% shorter pre-production lead time and 99% less manual tracking of powder and consumables, with one case cutting pre-production from 12 hours to 45 minutes. Automated quoting saves about 30 minutes per RFQ. Customers are cited as achieving a 6x first-year return on investment, and most teams go live within weeks with guided onboarding.

As additive manufacturing moves into regulated series production for aerospace, defence and medical devices, buyers require digital traceability, material genealogy and audit trails that spreadsheets cannot provide. Southeast Asian service bureaus and aerospace suppliers seeking AS9100 or ISO 13485 work face the same requirement, which drives demand for AM-specific MES that connects machines, quality and ERP.

Started at Singularity University in 2012; headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, with an office in London. Six Fortune 500 customers including Boeing, 3M and Danfoss. In 2025 launched the Whisper agentic AI backbone, a bundle with Autodesk Fusion, the DDNA defence model with Kform and the SPARC supply chain platform, and joined the Airbus-led 38 million GBP DECSAM programme in the UK. Supports AS9100, ITAR, FDA and ISO 13485 compliance.
