The German capital region

Berlin is one of the most attractive locations in Europe for additive manufacturing and 3D printing technologies. In addition to renowned machine manufacturers, software companies, international networks and hubs, Berlin also boasts new university faculties and chairs as well as relevant research projects covering the entire additive manufacturing value chain.

Berlin's dynamic startup scene is an important factor in the rapid development of additive manufacturing processes, and instances of technology transfer from the universities in the form of spin-outs are numerous. Berlin's outstanding scientific landscape regularly makes important contributions to technological developments. Key areas include digital 3D modeling at the Technische Universität Berlin, printable ceramics, biomaterials, and also quality control processes at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), and printed electronics at Fraunhofer IPK and the Berliner Hochschule für Technik (BHT). 

With its fully equipped facilities in Marienpark, the Industrial Additive Manufacturing Hub Berlin (IAM Hub) offers interested industrial companies, startups and research institutions a place to initiate joint projects and network in a highly targeted environment.

With AMBER, an innovation network and a new regional umbrella brand are being created on behalf of the Berlin Senate with significant participation by Berlin Partner. The aim is to create a platform for players from the fields of business and science to tap regionally available competencies as well as synergies.

About formnext

formnext is a leading international professional fair for additive manufacturing technologies, 3D printing and tool and mold-making. Exhibitors from different countries take the possibility to present their products and services from the first design to the manufacturing and the actual realisation of product ideas. In addition to the entire spectrum of different AM processes, formnext presents an overview of all upstream and downstream processes.

An accompanying conference with talks by industry innovators, moderators and champions will offer users intensive insights into the AM world and industrial 3D printing. It is where experts from a wide range of industry sectors, such as automotive, aerospace, mechanical engineering, medical technology, electrical engineering, and many more, come together to discover innovative production technologies for themselves.
