Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing
Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing
Why This Sector Matters
AM technologies are rapidly becoming integral to prototyping, rapid tooling, low-volume production and increasingly, certified end-use components for defence.
What Primes & OEMs Are Looking For
- Metal AM production capability (Ti, Al, Inconel, steels)
- Polymer AM for functional components
- Rapid prototyping for development programme
- Lightweight structural optimisation
- On-demand spare parts and sustainment solutions
- Repeatability and certification pathways
Key Subcategories
- Metal AM (SLM, DED, EBM)
- Polymer AM (FDM, SLS, SLA)
- Hybrid manufacturing
- AM powders and materials
- Post-processing and finishing
- Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM)
Who Should Exhibit
AM bureaus, AM system suppliers, material providers, post-processing companies and design specialists supporting aerospace, land, naval, weapons and sustainment programmes.
