Polymer AM Material Supplier
Additive Manufacturing polymer supplier
Supply chain for polymer Additive Manufacturing materials
Material suppliers have been developing new materials for polymer Additive Manufacturing for years. New materials are constantly being defined and made available for new processes and applications. To provide an overview of the material suppliers, this database summarizes the known material suppliers and sorts them according to the starting material, like powder, filament, pellets, resins, fibers and tape.
Polymer AM Part Manufacturing Supplier
Polymer AM part manufacturing supplier
External print capacity by polymer manufacturing suppliers
Additive Manufacturing part manufacturing suppliers play an important role in the adoption of Additive Manufacturing. They lower the entry barrier for users by offering manufacturing services during the R&D and development phase. In a later stage they offer production capacities of additional alloys or economic alternatives for low volume end use parts. This database provides a list of known industrial polymer Additive Manufacturing part manufacturing suppliers.

Browse through the database of all polymer Additive Manufacturing system suppliers worldwide. The database contains supplier names, website as well as home countries and the offered AM technology.
Corona Impact
The global outbreak of the COVID-19 virus led to a lockdown and travel ban in most industrialized countries. AMPOWER analyzes in this section the impact COVID-19 might have on the global metal Additive Manufacturing industry and will discuss potential scenarios on the future development of the market.
Metal AM Powder Material Suppliers
Additive Manufacturing powder supplier database
Metal powder suppliers
More than half of all metal Additive Manufacturing technologies use powder as feedstock. Considering the installed base of AM systems, over 80 % of all running systems work with metal powder. Most powder suppliers originally produced powder for other technologies such as coating or press sintering. Only recently they added suitable AM powder to their product portfolio. In the past years, some new players emerged focussing completely on Metal AM powder feedstock.
