WAAMathon - Die Leitkonferenz für metallischen 3D-Druck
Am 21. Mai 2025 trafen sich über 130 Industrievertreter und WAAM-Expert*innen im Steigenberger Hotel Berlin.
Ausgerichtet von der Berlin.Industrial.Group ist der WAAMathon die weltweit einzige Veranstaltung mit exklusivem Fokus auf Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing - von Lichtbogenschweißen über Prozessoptimierung bis zur Softwareintegration. Mit Live-Demos, Expertenvorträgen und einem exklusiven Blick auf das WAAM-Ökosystem der Zukunft.
Additive manufacturing anchored in the coalition agreement
A significant political step: for the first time, the new German government explicitly recognizes the strategic importance of additive manufacturing and lightweight construction - a strong signal for Germany as an industrial location. The coalition agreement now published for the 21st legislative period states: We promote lightweight construction technology and additive manufacturing. This sends a clear signal for a technology-oriented course.
Stratasys enters into partnership with Trinckle 3D
Stratasys is revolutionizing fixture design by integrating trinckle's “Fixturemate” into GrabCAD Print Pro. This will enable non-CAD professionals to quickly and easily create precise 3D-printed measuring and positioning aids. The automated solution saves time and costs - with high accuracy and growing demand for customized fixtures.
9th Steering Committee at BAM
On March 26, 2025, the AMBER Steering Committee met at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM).
After a constructive exchange, the steering committee visited the interactive showroom for additive manufacturing together with Kai Hilgenberg. There they were able to gain practical insights into the latest 3D printing technologies and digital quality assurance.
On the right track: Berlin on its way to becoming the 3D printing capital of Europe!
In an exclusive interview with 3DPrint.com, Stefanie Brickwede (MGA) and David Hampel (Berlin Partner) show how Berlin is expanding its pioneering role in industrial 3D printing through close cooperation between industry, research and politics. Why the capital is now setting the pace across Europe.
About us
AMBER is the 3D printing cluster of the capital region (Additive Manufacturing Berlin-Brandenburg). It is supported by a core of strategic partners and coordinated by Berlin Partner. AMBER pursues the rapid transfer of research results into sustainable and internationally competitive innovations and stands as an umbrella brand for the AM ecosystem of the capital region.
The aim is to develop Berlin into Europe's leading international platform for new production technologies by 2030 with its highly innovative AM players, its major 3D printing conferences such as AM Forum and CDFAM, AM training and cutting-edge research. In Berlin, the potential was recognized early on, which is why Additive Manufacturing has been an integral part of industrial policy and a technology focus in the Masterplan Industrie Berlin for years. The Berlin Senate has taken an important step in this direction with the targeted AMBER Call amounting to 14 million euros for R&D projects. The focus is on the topics of "medical technology", "lightweight construction" and "Additive Manufacturing for aerospace". The projects with partners from universities, research institutions and companies from the capital region will run until the end of 2025 and create high-tech innovations "made in Berlin".
