The AM Forum Berlin is one of the most important gatherings of additive manufacturing professionals in Europe — and in 2026, Lines Manufacturing was present with a dedicated commercial team to connect with the German industrial community.
Germany is home to some of the world's most demanding industrial manufacturers — in automotive, mechanical engineering, rail, aerospace, and chemical processing. It is also a market that takes manufacturing technology seriously: sceptical of hype, rigorous in evaluation, and deeply loyal to suppliers who can deliver on their promises at industrial scale.
For Lines Manufacturing, the German market represents one of our most significant opportunities. Our technology addresses real challenges that German manufacturers face: the ability to produce large polymer components on-demand without tooling, to reduce lead times in prototyping and series production, and to bring parts manufacturing back closer to the point of use. These are not theoretical benefits — they are already being realised by clients in France and across Europe.
AM Forum Berlin gave our German commercial team the opportunity to engage directly with decision-makers and technical leaders from across German industry. Conversations ranged from spare parts strategies for plant operators to structural component production for vehicle manufacturers — with Lines' FGF systems consistently drawing interest for their combination of build volume, material performance, and production-grade throughput.
The quality of dialogue at AM Forum reflects the maturity of the German additive manufacturing community. These are buyers and specifiers who have already explored the technology landscape, understand the trade-offs between different systems, and are looking for partners who can provide genuine production capability rather than laboratory performance.
One of the recurring themes of our conversations in Berlin was the importance of local capability and support. For German manufacturers considering large-scale additive manufacturing investment, the ability to receive qualified technical support, on-site assistance, and rapid response from a team that understands German industrial culture is as important as the machine specification itself.
Lines Manufacturing's German presence — including our representative office in Frankfurt — is designed precisely to provide that local service layer. We are not a remote supplier: we are a partner capable of supporting production operations wherever our clients need us.
We look forward to continuing these conversations and to welcoming new German partners into the Lines ecosystem. Reach out to our team at vertrieb@lines-manufacturing.com.
