VISION / MISSION

Our Vision

is a Europe that strategically leverages additive manufacturing to strengthen technological sovereignty, resilience, and operational capability in the defense and security sectors. We are working toward a common European framework that enables responsible innovation, promotes cross-sector collaboration, and opens new avenues for sustainable, secure, and flexible solutions. By connecting industry, research, government agencies, and security and emergency response organizations, we aim to help Europe approach its security in a forward-looking, cooperative, and technology-driven manner.

Our Mission

is to develop and strengthen the foundations for a European strategy on additive manufacturing in the context of defense and security. We create opportunities for the exchange of knowledge and experience, connect stakeholders from industry, research, and security sectors, and support them in developing practical, applicable solutions. Through publications, consulting, training, and the promotion of technological developments, we contribute to ensuring that additive manufacturing is used efficiently, transparently, and in a networked manner within the European security environment. In doing so, we focus on cooperation, overcoming mental barriers, and actively promoting awareness and interest in this future-oriented technology.
