3D printing makerspace at ST3AM Adlershof
During the MPI conference, numerous Berlin-based companies and networks had the opportunity to visit the makerspace with its large 3D printing hub at ST3AM Adlershof, which boasts an impressive array of technologies and printers. Private individuals and companies can easily book a slot here and use FDM, SLS, SLA, xolography, or continuous fiber printing for their projects.
Working together for a European AM strategy
How can Europe pool its strengths in additive manufacturing (AM)? AMBER organized a two-day exchange in Brussels with representatives from Berlin, the EU, and European AM clusters.
The goal: to put additive manufacturing on the European agenda—with common goals, clear synergies, and a strong voice for innovation, sustainability, and industrial resilience.
Affordable tickets for industrial end users
Europe's leading AM community will meet in Berlin from March 10-11, 2026. For the first time, industrial end users can purchase affordable user tickets for the 10th AM Forum—the most important conference for industrial 3D printing.
AMBER and Berlin Partner are supporting the event as partners and will be presenting innovations from the capital region.

Xpert4AM – Germany's first hybrid continuing education program for additive manufacturing
Xpert4AM is the first scientifically based and practical continuing education program focusing on 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
Participants acquire comprehensive know-how – from the basics to industrial applications. Experts from TU Berlin, chesco, BAM, AMBER, and other leading institutions convey the content clearly, supported by an augmented reality app.
Formnext 2025: AM has arrived in industry
With over 800 exhibitors and 38,000 trade visitors, the leading trade fair offered a comprehensive overview of technologies along the entire AM value chain. The focus was on new materials, automation, and industrial applications. Berlin was represented with an impressive joint stand: the AMBER team, together with over 15 companies, presented innovative technologies and impressively demonstrated the innovative strength of the capital region.
As unique as a fingerprint
The BAM has introduced a new approach within the DOI4AM project that enables 3D-printed parts to be identified by their microstructure – like a fingerprint. Without visible markings, and using 3D micro-computed tomography combined with a digital object identifier, a tamper-proof link is created between the physical object and its production data.
A breakthrough for traceability, quality assurance, and protection against counterfeiting in additive manufacturing.
About us
THE 3D PRINTING INITIATIVE OF THE CAPITAL CITY REGION
AMBER (Additive Manufacturing Berlin-Brandenburg) is the central initiative for the expansion and networking of additive manufacturing in the capital region. As an umbrella brand, AMBER connects leading research institutions, innovative companies, start-ups and political players.
Our goal: to translate research results into marketable, sustainable products and applications more quickly and to develop Berlin-Brandenburg into Europe's leading AM location by 2030.
With a free AM service, we support companies, research and start-ups in the field of 3D printing. Through strong partnerships, targeted funding programs and a focus on future topics such as medical technology, lightweight construction and aerospace, we make innovations "made in Berlin" visible worldwide
