Navigating the adoption of emerging technologies presents a unique challenge: the barrier of "unknown unknowns." This is particularly true for additive manufacturing (AM), a field characterized by a plethora of technologies, materials, and software options, each accompanied by bold, world changing claims and critical caveats that may not be immediately apparent, and can cripple adoption at the very first step.
In the landscape of AM/3D printing, discerning credible information can be daunting.
Seeking advice on LinkedIn might lead you to sift through biased opinions while fending off desperate sales pitches.
Venturing onto Reddit could plunge you into a sea of polarized views and sarcasm that can be funny, but not always helpful.
And while querying AI, like GPT, may yield a deluge of information, the reliability and practicality of such data can be uncertain at best.
AMable steps in to offer a different path — a community forum designed for open, expert-moderated discussions on AM.
Here, you can pose your questions about additive manufacturing and share your expertise within a community committed to clarity and substance over salesmanship and speculation.
Join and participate to navigate the complexities of AM together, in a space dedicated to sharing genuine knowledge and fostering authentic connections.
The AMable Community, a complimentary, technology-neutral platform where professionals and enthusiasts converge to share knowledge and foster open dialogue in Additive Manufacturing (AM). Whether you’re a user, maker, provider, new entrant, or expert, this is your forum to connect across the spectrum of AM applications and challenges.

General Information about AMable
AMable is a joint initiative of enthusiasts that work for some of the most renowned research and technology organisations. The team together has supported more than 70 cases across all additive manufacturing technologies and application areas one can think of. The achievements reach from realising products in medical and medicine through classic topics in engineering to printing Tiramisu at formnext 2022 in Frankfurt, Germany.
More than 130 SMEs across Europe have used AMable to advance their product ideas and the people behind AMable – including the expert network connected to them – has up-skilled more than 500 people.
AMable currently drives two key offerings. The free AMable Community (community.amable.eu) provides technology-agnostic access to knowledge and solutions in additive manufacturing. It serves for an exchange of ideas and resources in a commerce free environment and at the same time it offers spaces where people can present themselves (the stage) and where commercial offerings can be published (buy-sell). Those that want to go commercial find support in the AMable Service Arena (amable.eu/services) for a professional advance in privacy at their individual pace.
Altogether, AMable is currently 10 people that are well connected to more than 150 AM experts with access to the most renowned research labs in Europe. This makes the technology agnostic approach to AM a premium funnel to the optimum solution.
