The future of mobility is electric, lightweight, personalized, and increasingly additive. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is unlocking new design paradigms and value chains across automotive and mobility sectors. Whether it’s prototyping EV battery enclosures, producing on-demand spare parts, or localizing tool production at the plant floor, AM is no longer a niche, it’s a strategic capability.
AMA:AM brings together OEMs, Tier 1s, AM vendors, and research leaders to examine where AM is delivering today: and what needs to happen to scale tomorrow. This summit focuses on real-world impact, supply chain readiness, and new mobility architectures.
AMA:AM is the latest edition of 3DPI’s incredibly popular, vertical-focused event series. Building on the success of the flagship event, AMAA, which attracts approximately 1,000 attendees with a conference program featuring 30 speakers and presenters.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking technologists, production leaders, engineers, material scientists, and strategists working at the intersection of AM and automotive/mobility. Ideal contributors may come from:
OEMs
Tier 1s
