Home-toolcraft and amsight Join Forces to Bring Data-Driven Quality Control to Semiconductor AM
German contract manufacturertoolcrafthas partnered with industrial AM quality specialistamsightto overhaul how production data is captured, connected, and acted upon across its AM operations. The collaboration places a particular emphasis on semiconductor-related manufacturing, a sector where documentation, consistency, and process repeatability are non-negotiable.
Toolcraft is deploying amsight’s digital quality backbone, a platform built specifically for industrial AM environments, to unify machine data, process parameters, inspection results, and quality metrics into a single traceable framework. The move replaces the fragmented spreadsheets and disconnected systems that have traditionally slowed reporting and decision-making, giving production teams a clearer, more complete picture of what is happening across their workflows.
Tightening the Loop on Process Control
For toolcraft, the practical benefits center on speed and visibility. By consolidating data into one environment, the company aims to cut the time between build completion and actionable decisions, enabling faster reporting cycles and reducing the manual effort that typically accompanies analysis in complex AM workflows.
Underpinning the approach is statistical process control, which gives toolcraft a structured method for detecting production drift before it becomes a quality problem. The goal is to build a more stable foundation for continuous improvement as the company scales its AM output into increasingly demanding applications.
“Semiconductor-related manufacturing environments demand extremely high levels of consistency, documentation, and process understanding. We see amsight as a partner that understands the realities of industrial AM production and the importance of connecting quality data in a meaningful and scalable way,” said Christoph Hauck, Executive Board Member for Technology and Sales at toolcraft.
Maximilian Seßner, Process Development Engineer at toolcraft, added: “One of the key attractions of amsight is its ability to support process stability and scalability simultaneously. Standardised data evaluation and SPC-based analysis are becoming increasingly important as AM production matures and expands into demanding sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing.”
Quality Infrastructure as a Competitive Requirement
The partnership signals something larger than a software deployment. It reflects a growing recognition across industrial AM that quality management can no longer function as an afterthought, particularly as additive processes push into regulated, high-value sectors where component traceability and process documentation carry real commercial and compliance weight.
