What is the AM-platform?

The AM-platform is a free of charge virtual central European area for all subject related to Additive Manufacturing (hereafter named AM)

The objective of the AM-platform is to contribute to a coherent strategy, understanding, development, dissemination and exploitation of AM.

AM is fragmented. Lots of organizations are working or doing research in this area but there is no coherent strategy and several interpret the subject differently. There is no central organization or place for peoples to for instance ask questions, to start a discussion, to find expertise, or to up- or download an interesting paper or article.

This platform helps to achieve the Lisbon & Gothenburg objectives as defined by the EC (to become the most dynamic and most competitive knowledge-based economy by 2010 and achieving sustainability by 2030).

The AM-platform is active since 2007 (formerly as the RM-platform)

Additive Manufacturing capabilities mapping: JOIN THE AM DATABASE!!

Do you want to find out what are the latest AM developments coming from R&D&I projects? Who has experience or would like to use AM technologies? Which regions have AM in their Smart specialization strategies? Do you want your organisation to appear if someone is looking for strategic partners?  …..and more?

Just join the new AM database service, your one stop shop for Additive Manufacturing.

To have a global overview of existing knowledge, research and technology capabilities and regional strategies around AM, FoFAM H2020 project has developed an e-tool to gather information on existing projects, regional strategies and R&D programs and actors around these technologies. The main aim is to facilitate the stakeholders realising alliances and collaborations for R&D or business purposes towards potential partners and detect synergies and complementariness in order to avoid duplication and establish coordinated actions.

The tool, which comes in the form of a database, follows the sectorial value chain approach established in the FoFAM project, being possible to group the information around key sectors for the AM deployment in Europe. This in-depth approach, allows, for example, clustering the information around particular VC segments (modelling, design, material, process…) or even around a type of AM process or material.

 Would you like to be part of it? Please select the most suitable template* for you. Fill it in and send us the info. We will upload it on the website.

The database is available at the European Technology Platform on Additive Manufacturing “AM-Platform” website (www.AM-platform.com). To access it, it is necessary that the user is registered and logs in as a member of the AM Platform.
