Additive Manufacturing Forum 2026
March 10-11, 2026, Berlin
The AM Conference brings together AM decision makers and experts around exciting user stories and use cases for industrial AM applications. We expect approximately 750+ attendees to connect with 75+ exhibitors and 100+ speakers.
Discover AMBER at the AM Forum: Pioneering Projects in Additive Manufacturing
AMBER (Additive Manufacturing Berlin-Brandenburg) is the leading 3D printing cluster in Germany’s capital region. With more than 60 partners from science, industry, and business, the cluster consolidates expertise, fosters collaboration, and strengthens Berlin-Brandenburg’s position as a global lighthouse for additive innovation.
By strategically advancing additive manufacturing as a core technology for industrial transformation and next‑generation production, AMBER drives impactful innovation. The cluster currently supports 13 research and development projects involving 29 industry and academic partners, accelerating the adoption of AM across key sectors.
At this year’s AM Forum, five standout projects will take the stage to share their results and demonstrate how additive manufacturing is reshaping industrial value chains.
Here’s what you can look forward to:

Berlin - the place to be for Additive Manufacturing
Berlin is the most attractive location 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. In addition, Berlin's dynamic start-up scene is an important factor in the rapid development of additive manufacturing processes, and there are numerous examples of technology transfer from universities in the form of spin-outs. Berlin's outstanding scientific landscape regularly makes important contributions to technological developments.
With AMBER (Additive Manufacturing Berlin-Brandenburg), the capital region has its own 3D printing initiative. It is coordinated by Berlin Partner on behalf of the Berlin Senate and supported by a core of strategic partners. AMBER pursues the rapid transfer of research results into sustainable and internationally competitive innovations and stands as an umbrella brand for the AM ecosystem in the capital region.
Another important milestone was the establishment of a hub for additive manufacturing methods in Marienpark. In addition to co-working space for innovative 3D printing companies and scientific institutes, the Industrial Additive Manufacturing Hub Berlin (IAM Hub) offers a demo center as a testing and experimentation ground for novel 3D printing technologies.
