Centre for Additive Manufacturing (CfAM)

Centre for Additive Manufacturing (CfAM) is a world-leading research centre based in Nottingham, UK, specialising in advanced additive manufacturing techniques – also known as 3D printing – for a diverse range of applications. We focus on developing innovative solutions across multiple sectors, including complex pharmaceutical devices, prosthetic limbs, optoelectronic engineering, and advanced engineering components. CfAM’s research encompasses fundamental processes, materials, and computational methods, enabling the creation of fully functional systems through additive manufacturing rather than individual components.

Our collaborative approach, working with academic partners, industry leaders, and global organisations, drives the translation of cutting-edge research into tangible commercial benefits. With a strong track record of innovation and a dedicated team of experts, CfAM is at the forefront of shaping the future of manufacturing, contributing to advancements in areas such as on-demand manufacturing and next-generation additive technologies.
