AM-Europe, operated by CECIMO, and the European Additive Manufacturing Platform (AM-Platform) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening cooperation and supporting the growth of Europe’s additive manufacturing (AM) ecosystem.

The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration focused on strengthening the additive manufacturing value chain in Europe and fostering greater coordination among the stakeholders involved in its development.

Key areas of cooperation include working together on research priorities for additive manufacturing and supporting the development of European projects focused on AM technologies.

The MoU also provides for joint activities, events and outreach initiatives, with the aim of facilitating knowledge exchange, strengthening connections across the sector and creating new opportunities for the European additive manufacturing community.

Through this partnership, AM-Europe and AM-Platform seek to contribute to a more coordinated approach to additive manufacturing across Europe, helping to build a more connected, innovative and competitive ecosystem.

The signing of the agreement marks another step towards strengthening European cooperation in additive manufacturing, a technology with significant potential to support advanced manufacturing capabilities, innovation and industrial competitiveness across Europe.

If Europe wants to compete globally in #AdditiveManufacturing, collaboration is no longer optional. The future of AM will not be defined by isolated initiatives, but by the ecosystems capable of building a shared industrial strategy across countries, industries and institutions.
To address this challenge, Addliance® - The European AM Hubs Alliance is developing the Strategic European AM Roadmap: a collaborative 4-year initiative created to align the European AM ecosystem around a common industrial vision and accelerate Europe’s leadership in advanced manufacturing.
Despite Europe’s enormous technological and industrial potential, the AM landscape still remains highly fragmented. Strong initiatives are emerging across different countries, but often without enough coordination between ecosystems, industries and policymakers.
The Strategic European AM Roadmap seeks to bridge these gaps by creating a common framework capable of connecting:
• Industrial companies and end users• AM machine, software and material providers• Research and technology organizations• Public institutions and policymakers• Innovation ecosystems across Europe
The roadmap will focus on the strategic priorities that will define the next generation of European manufacturing: competitiveness, sustainability, talent, investment, industrial deployment and policy alignment.
