European Defense Tech Week: Innovation made in Berlin
For four days, the European Defense Tech Hackathon transformed Berlin’s Marienpark into a creative hub for innovative solutions in the fields of defense and resilience. AMBER participated with workshops on additive manufacturing and funding opportunities for startups. The hackathon impressively demonstrated how open dialogue, interdisciplinary collaboration, and team spirit give rise to practical innovations. Many thanks to the European Defense Tech Hub and all partners for an inspiring week full of new ideas and collaborations.
3rd AMBER Summer BBQ: Exchange and Networking at BAM
At the 3rd AMBER Summer BBQ, the additive manufacturing community gathered at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). Exciting insights into the world of additive manufacturing research and applications, as well as current projects, provided fresh inspiration. Despite the summery temperatures and the soccer game that evening, the focus remained on networking, meaningful conversations, and personal exchanges.

New Berlin AI-Tool for AM-Beginners
The new A‑Match.ai AI tool from We4All is open for testing and feedback. It offers newcomers to additive manufacturing the opportunity to evaluate potential use cases with just a few clicks, receive support in selecting materials and technologies, and find suitable partners for implementing AM projects. It complements the publicly funded learning environment dr3-am.com by enabling users to realize their own application cases.
It wouldn’t work without industry.
Berlin showcases its industrial future: The new industrial campaign highlights innovative companies and key technologies in the capital region. As a hub for additive manufacturing, AI, and modern production, Berlin demonstrates why “Made in Berlin” is gaining global significance.
