PlusPac is an an add-on kit which makes the AM machine more suitable for cleaner process environments and can help improve surface finish and precision. PlusPac includes new Optical Control Software (OCS), a gas knife lens window protection system, and a high capacity filtration system. These updates give the user tighter control over the build process, enabling users to create better components.

The kit is available as an upgrade option on new AM250 machines or as an on-site retrofit upgrade to most existing AM250 machines
