AM Europe
WHO IS AM EUROPE ?
AM Europe is a pan-European initiative built on more than a decade of CECIMO’s engagement with European institutions in Brussels.
The initiative brings together over 700 companies across the additive manufacturing value chain and was founded by CECIMO and national associations to provide a stronger and more unified voice for the sector at European level.
Our objective is to connect industry and policymakers, facilitate collaboration across Europe, and ensure that additive manufacturing receives the attention it deserves as a strategic manufacturing technology.
In essence, AM Europe serves as a platform where industry stakeholders can align priorities and engage more effectively with European decision-makers.

VISION
Our vision is simple but ambitious: to establish the European Union as a global powerhouse for additive manufacturing.
Europe already possesses many of the key ingredients—strong industrial capabilities, world-class research, innovative companies and advanced manufacturing expertise.
The challenge now is to better connect these strengths and accelerate industrial deployment at scale.
KEY MARKET TRENDS IN THE EUROPEAN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SECTOR
Between July and August 2026, CECIMO, the European Association of Manufacturing Technologies, organized the twelfth round of its European Additive Manufacturing Survey, which aims to assess key market trends in the Additive Manufacturing (AM) sector.
It is a six-month survey that will help the industry record trend indications for key business areas, such as domestic business, AM exports, orders by type of material, client industry demand and investment trends
Mapping European Additive Manufacturing Research Capabilities
New report maps Europe’s additive manufacturing research capabilities
How can Europe turn additive manufacturing research into wider industrial use?
AM Europe’s report maps capabilities across 83 research organisations in 18 countries. It identifies strengths in metal manufacturing, circularity, repair and quality assurance, alongside work in digital technologies, aerospace, defence and medical applications.
The challenge is deployment. Companies need easier access to research facilities, clearer qualification routes and support to carry promising results beyond publicly funded projects.
The report sets out priorities for connecting research expertise with industrial demand, helping European businesses turn technical progress into practical production.
