3D printing network meeting: AMBER Summer BBQ 2025
The AMBER Summer BBQ at MGA was a great success.
The new members Track3D and Parastruct introduced themselves, and the latest results of the MikroG project were presented by BAM.
Afterwards, there was an exchange and networking over cool drinks, a delicious barbecue buffet, and a summery evening backdrop. We thank everyone who was there and look forward to the next time!"
EHFAM Basel 2025: 3D-Innovation trifft Healthcare
Beim Europeam Healthcare Forum for Additive Manufacturing (EHFAM) am 26.-27. Juni 2025 in Basel diskutierten Expert:innen aus Klinik, Forschung und Industrie über neueste Trends im 3D-Druck für die Medizin. Ein Highlight war der “3D Printing in Life Sciences Anward Basel 2025”, bei dem zehn Teams ihre Projekte dem Publikum in kurzen Pitches präsentierten. Über den dritten Platz konnte sich das ProAStra Dental Projekt von trinckle, Charité und TU Berlin freuen.
Cooperation with Chesco: strengthening additive manufacturing
Chesco - an institute of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg - is opening up new opportunities for Berlin companies in the field of additive manufacturing.
Thanks to its strong machine park, expertise in metal printing and international orientation, Chesco offers free training in AM and other production-related topics - also for companies in Berlin.
Polish delegation visits Berlin
From 2 to 6 June, a delegation from TU Gdansk - organized by TU Berlin - once again visited the capital.
During workshops and exciting company visits, including to Gefertec, Xolo and MGA, the focus was on exchanging ideas on innovations in the field of additive manufacturing.
The format combines international academic collaboration with practical industrial experience in the field of additive manufacturing.
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.
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".
