About Additive Companion

The adopters' guide to additive manufacturing.

Additive Companion is a resource and community platform designed to help users navigate the complex world of Additive Manufacturing (AM). We provide the clarity needed to understand this technology landscape, choose the right technology for your specific application, and find the partners to help you succeed.

The platform features a broad and growing directory where users and providers showcase their AM work on dedicated pages. Grounded in this complete ecosystem, we offer impartial and technology-agnostic guidance through a curated collection of nearly 500 applications, highlighting the most effective and innovative solutions to date. These real-world examples make it easy to identify options tailored to your objectives, connecting you directly with the technologies, providers, and individuals who can bring your ambitions to life.

This is no traditional directory. Anyone providing services within AM is listed free of charge, levelling the playing field so you find the best solutions, not just the loudest ones. By building better AM literacy, we empower users to understand precisely what they need, ensuring providers are connected with informed, ready-to-engage clients. By interconnecting all of this information into a logical pathway through a complex field, Additive Companion aims to be the definitive source of impartial knowledge and inspiration for anyone looking to unleash the full potential of Additive Manufacturing.

OUR STORY

Who We Are

Additive Companion was founded by three industry veterans combining decades of experience across AM design, software and sales. With deep insight into the full range of additive processes and their real-world application histories, they created Additive Companion to be the independent, consolidated, definitive guide and community exchange platform this technology has needed for too long.
