Leading German 3D Printing Firm, alphacam GmbH, to Join AM Craft Production Network

The partnership between the leading German service provider and aviation specialists, AM Craft, brings an aviation supply chain solution to a new aviation hub

RīGA, LATVIA, August 7, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- AM Craft announced today that their distributed production network is growing significantly with the addition of leading German 3D Printing firm alphacam GmbH as an independent partner. alphacam, with existing locations in Schondorf, Vienna, and Winterthur, will open a new satellite office in Hamburg, Germany focusing on support to the commercial aviation market, in partnership with AM Craft.

“We have proudly supported the aerospace industry for many years. We’re qualified to print flight parts for several aviation OEMs and have delivered thousands of parts,” stated alphacam founder and CEO, Michael Junghanß. “Yet, additive manufacturing adoption in aviation is only at the beginning and we see tremendous opportunity to further accelerate our business growth in this market with the innovative approach brought by AM Craft. Airlines and MROs are looking for install-ready parts with a Form 1 airworthiness certificate and AM Craft brings that capability to alphacam.”

AM Craft will lead design and certification activities and will rely on the manufacturing power of alphacam to fulfill customer orders in Germany and Western Europe. Along with local airworthiness authorities, AM Craft will work to extend their EASA Part 21G Production Organization Approval (POA) to alphacam facilities, beginning with Hamburg (for customer proximity) and Schondorf (for massive capacity). This follows the successful extension of AM Craft’s POA to network partner Paradigm 3D in Dubai earlier this year.

“It is our strategy to bring certified additive manufacturing to our customer’s point of need. Hamburg, Germany, is a key hub for commercial aviation maintenance, and it’s important for AM Craft to be in Hamburg to support our customers,” said AM Craft Co-founder and CEO, Didzis Dejus. “There is no better partner for us in Germany than alphacam. Our partnership will benefit from their long history in the German market and their deep experience with additive manufacturing in a production environment.”

The AM Craft Production Network currently includes AM Craft in Riga, Additive Flight Solutions in Singapore, and Paradigm 3D in Dubai. alphacam Hamburg is expected to open in Q4. With the addition of alphacam, AM Craft leads the largest network of production 3D printers under an EASA Part 21G approval. More than 20 printers around the globe can be deployed for the on-demand production of install-ready Form 1 parts for aviation.
