The Danish Parliament has allocated DKK 2.6 million in 2024 as a grant for establishing an AM Lab in Eastern Denmark—specifically in Frederikssund. The new training environment will give the region’s companies and young people in vocational education the opportunity to learn about and work with the latest technologies, such as 3D metal printing.

“This is very welcome news that will strengthen educational opportunities and provide a significant boost to the local training environment. I am pleased that we have been able to collaborate across municipal boundaries on this. It will benefit the entire North Zealand area, the companies, and the young people,” says Tina Tving Stauning, Mayor of Frederikssund Municipality.

The new 3D metal printer has been developed by DTU and is in fact the first of its kind in the world, as it is based on so-called ‘open hardware and software’. Being able to 3D print in metal offers unique opportunities to create new and improved designs, and it is also more sustainable than traditional metalworking, which typically generates far more material waste. The upcoming AM Lab will be available to both employees from companies in the region and young people who are undertaking vocational education.

At Dansk AM Hub, which works to strengthen Danish competitiveness by promoting the use of 3D printing, the decision to establish an AM Lab in Frederikssund is also being met with enthusiasm.

“We are very pleased and proud that Eastern Denmark will now have a facility that can help explore the possibilities within metal printing and produce the world’s most sustainable metal components. We look forward to the facility motivating and inspiring the manufacturers of the future, and we are especially looking forward to collaborating with the many skilled manufacturers in the area and helping them find their way into metal printing technology,” says CEO Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen, Dansk AM Hub.
