Let’s get started — your competitive edge begins here.
Tap into our AM expertise
Bespoke support
No one understands your business like you do, and no one understands 3D printing like we do. We’ll meet you exactly where you are in your AM journey.
Proven experience
As industry pioneers, we’ve developed AM production lines for flying parts, patient-specific devices, and more. We live and breathe 3D printing, so we can quickly see where you are in your adoption journey and guide you to success.

Multidisciplinary teams
We bring together the profiles you need, when you need them, including experts in software, design and engineering, materials and technology, and R&D.
A unique offering tailored to you
Need help identifying your next steps with AM? We’ve got you covered. Whether you’re just exploring AM for your business, experimenting with application research, or enabling volume production by scaling up, we're here to guide you and provide proper training that suits your organization and budget.
Kickstart your AM adoption
Even when you’re convinced of AM’s value, there are hurdles every company needs to overcome — persuading stakeholders and finding optimal applications, for example. We can help you translate business challenges into tangible AM opportunities by starting with the foundations of AM, developing a strategic roadmap, or helping you find and assess applications in your own business.
Research and develop applications
Once you’ve committed to an AM strategy, it’s time to make it happen. Through collaborative, hands-on research and development, we can help validate your business case and ensure your investment is a success. We'll assess the feasibility of the different technologies and materials, teach you the best practices for designing for AM, and help you validate your proof of concept through prototyping.
Scale AM adoption
You’re no stranger to the benefits of AM, and you’re ready to take it to the next level. Together, we’ll fine-tune your production to ensure the repeatability and reliability you need by optimizing the AM process, automating parts of your workflow, or even helping you set up your own AM factory.
Guiding innovation with unrivaled expertise

Result-oriented implementation
Putting strategies and plans into practice requires hands-on support. We dive right in with you, providing the proper tools, know-how, processes, and people.
Materialise's Aerospace Training provided a valuable overview (maturity in the aerospace industry, design and certification guidelines, technologies, and processes) for the implementation of additive manufacturing for serial production within aerospace. Examples of printed parts illustrated the design possibilities and surface finishes, and will inspire designers to design for additive manufacturing. Overall, the training was greatly appreciated by the Pilatus team.
