Welcome to 3dpbm’s latest AM Focus 2022 eBook on AM Services. 3D printing service providers hold a special significance in the world of additive manufacturing: not only were they the earliest adopters of 3D printing technologies, they have also been one of the main drivers of the industry’s growth over the years. The two can’t be extricated: since the early days of 3D printing, AM technologies and services have evolved in tandem. 

For this AM Focus, we are looking specifically at the evolution and current state of AM service providers. An undeniably varied segment, AM services comprise rapid prototyping companies, industry-specific manufacturing services and AM factories. The latter, which we want to pay particular attention to, are part of a relatively new breed and are playing a vital role in the creation of highly automated, scalable production workflows. Really at the cutting edge of AM.

In the pages of this eBook you will find an in-depth analysis of polymer AM service providers and their transition to a fully digital additive mass production workflow; an exclusive interview with Joe Calmese, CEO of ADDMAN Group, an additive-enabled production partner; a look at Xometry Europe’s broad reaching production capability; and a conversation with three specialized AM service providers in Europe with ambitious plans for automation.
