• Connect technical solutions to real industrial applications and business challenges across different sectors.
• Collaborate with industrial partners and researchers to support technology development and industrial adoption.

Flexible partnerships to support your additive manufacturing journey

Moving additive manufacturing from technical potential to industrial application requires more than access to equipment. Companies need to identify the right applications, select materials and processes, ensure quality and assess business value.

Some companies are taking their first steps, while others are working to qualify processes, scale up production or develop solutions for spare parts and supply chains.

Building on five years of collaboration with industry, the AM Center offers flexible partnership opportunities that enable companies to address their own development needs and shared industry challenges.

Through long-term collaboration, companies can build knowledge and results over time, benefit from lessons already learned and move forward more efficiently.
