Revolutionize Your 3D Printing Workflow

Advanced Feedback, Insights, and Automation for Flawless Prints

Aurora’s innovative technology brings precision and reliability to 3D printing. Our 2-Stage Position Feedback system keeps each motor in sync, enhancing quality and minimizing errors. With Cloud Analysis and Reporting, gain insights, track performance, and set real-time thresholds for optimized prints. Finally, the Reactive Motion Planner adapts dynamically to maintain consistent print quality with minimal intervention. Aurora ensures dependable, high-quality 3D printing every time.

Unique 2-Stage Position Feedback

Achieve precise and synchronized motion control with Aurora’s unique 2-stage position feedback system. Each motor operates with its own feedback loop, while a second layer of synchronization ensures smooth operation and quick problem detection, reducing errors and enhancing print quality.

Cloud Analysis and Reporting

Leverage powerful cloud-based analytics to gain insights into every print. Aurora’s cloud analysis feature provides detailed post-print reports, 3D visualizations, and PDF summaries that help you optimize processes, set thresholds, and validate parts in real-time.

Reactive Motion Planner

Experience seamless, automatic adjustments with Aurora’s Reactive Motion Planner. Built specifically for 3D printing, this planner responds dynamically to changes, automatically pausing, adjusting flow, speed, or fan settings to ensure optimal print quality with minimal manual intervention.

How It Works

1.

Seamless Setup

Aurora replaces your existing controller with an all-in-one solution featuring a real-time motion controller and operating system. It’s easy to set up—add-on boards are daisy-chained to handle your printer’s IO and features. The intuitive ecosystem automatically detects components and imports existing configurations to streamline the process. With a few quick calibration tools, your machine is ready for its first print.

2.

Effortless Integration

Aurora fits right into your current workflow. It accepts GCode from any slicer and works seamlessly with standard 3D printing hardware, including steppers, servos, lasers, capacitive sensors, and multi-zone extrusion systems. No need to change anything—just plug and print.

3.

Advanced Motion Control

Aurora’s third-order polynomial S-Curve ensures smooth, precise movements, syncing motors every 1 ms for maximum precision. Manual adjustments are integrated at a low level, allowing for rapid machine responses and seamless pauses when necessary.

4.

Cloud Analysis with One Click

Once a print job is complete, it can be sent to the cloud for detailed analysis and reporting with a single click. Access performance insights and generate reports instantly from the cloud interface.

5.

Smart Problem Detection

Aurora detects issues in real-time using sensor data. Custom thresholds can be set, allowing you to spot problems quickly and react before they escalate—minimizing downtime and maximizing print success.

6.

Simple Customization and Updates

OTA updates are controlled by the manufacturer, and clients can apply them with a single click when ready. Customizing the interface is just as easy—upload a logo, select your colors, and personalize the system to reflect your brand.

Dyze Design’s technology helps us meet the evolving needs of our customers and the O&P industry at large. Filament Innovations has over nine years of experience building 3D Printers, that means we have nine years of experience of working with customers to understand what they want from an OS. We were able to work with Dyze Design to create the OS, machine control system, and interface that customer’s actually want to work with. With the Aurora system we can now produce validation reports of the printed object, have a streamlined user interface, and overall have a “push button, get result” OS that our customers want on their machines. This control system will push 3D Printing into the next stage of its life cycle because it is solving a real problem – give the customer’s what they want in a 3D Printer
