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".
