AM Report
Each year, Dansk AM Hub takes the pulse of developments in Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing, focusing on adoption in Denmark and putting it into perspective in relation to global developments in the field.
AM Magazine is aimed at stakeholders in the Danish AM ecosystem as well as Danish manufacturing companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Dansk AM Hub published Dansk AM Report for the first time in 2019. All publications can be downloaded below.
In 2023, the publication changes its name to AM Magazine.
AM Report 2022: How we create more sustainable production
In Dansk AM Report 2022, you can read that one in three manufacturing companies uses AM technology, which is an increase compared to previous years.
More companies find that AM enables them to create more sustainable production through reduced material consumption and waste, and by developing products that are easier to recycle. And many actually experience a greater sustainability impact from using the technology than they had expected.
You can also read more about how the AM environment grew in 2021, which truly left an additive footprint—along with how our members experienced the year and their plans for 2022.

AM Report 2021: Potential for a sustainable future
In this third report in the series, you can learn more about the potential and opportunities of 3D printing, 3D metal printing, and the potential for more sustainable production.
You can read about how the COVID-19 pandemic led healthcare systems, business organisations, companies, and private individuals to print and distribute the protective equipment for which there was an acute demand. And how local production with 3D printing and AM made manufacturing companies with global supply chains more independent of foreign deliveries during the COVID-19 crisis.
With local production, better designs, and lower material consumption and waste, AM is a sustainable manufacturing technology—where production only becomes more sustainable as printing materials become bio-based.

AM Report 2020: Danish companies call for education and skills in 3D printing
The annual screening shows that 25% of Danish manufacturing companies still use AM technology.
According to representatives from larger Danish companies, the manufacturing industry faces a serious challenge in maintaining international competitiveness if it does not embrace new technologies to a greater extent. They are strongly calling for employees with the necessary knowledge and skills in AM.
In the AM Report 2019, you can also see results from Dansk AM Hub’s own study of the stakeholder landscape, including research and education, as well as the start-up landscape within the field.

AM Report 2019: Danish companies need to think more strategically
Danish companies are beginning to adopt AM technology. A survey among Danish manufacturing companies concludes that 25% use AM / 3D printing.
Companies find that the use of AM technology affects their business approach and model, and that they are much better able to meet users’ needs. At the same time, the technology has a positive effect on the company’s product innovation.
However, they primarily use the technology for prototypes, and according to Dansk AM Hub, Danish companies need to adopt the technology at a different level if they are to truly benefit from the growth potential in 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing.
