The Wayland Connect software can be accessed by customers via two main platforms. First, it is available to users online for each of their Calibur3 machines and allows full in-process monitoring of every build via this interface providing real-time insight into every build.

Access to the online dashboard is available to customers through a rigorous and secure licensing system, and allows for comprehensive in-process monitoring and configuration management of the machine. Over time, Wayland Connect collects and archives the data from each build, allowing the user to perform analysis reports on machine performance and build successes based on the machine’s configurations. This in turn facilitates machine learning capabilities that can optimise future builds and support pre-emptive maintenance.

Second, the Wayland Connect app, which is available via Apple and Android platforms, is an advanced real-time machine-monitoring app for Calibur3 users. It provides remote access for users allowing them to monitor their Calibur3 metal AM machine(s) anytime, anywhere for full assurance that live builds are on track. Furthermore, it allows them to configure push notifications for real-time alerts for any or all operational parameters that they want to observe and check. Offering immediate access to the progress of live builds, including all of the vital parameters, the App also facilitates access to live images of the build chamber.

According to Sohail Saddique, Senior Software Engineer at Wayland Additive: “We have developed Wayland Connect to provide our Calibur3 customers with an advanced tool to monitor each and every one of their builds with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface whether they are accessing it via the dashboard or the app. Access to information on live builds provides assurance and peace-of-mind, especially if users are remote from the machine, for example overnight. The extensive in-process monitoring capabilities installed on the Calibur3 systems can be accessed easily and quickly with Wayland Connect to provide an up-to-the minute status report of the machine and the build in progress.”

Wayland Connect has been running on existing machines in Beta trials, with positive feedback from clients working in partnership with the software team at Wayland.
