Welcome to the Australian Additive Manufacturing Network (AAMN).
Established in 2025, AAMN is industry-led, driven by volunteerism, and committed to fostering collaboration, innovation, and sustainability within the AM industry.
AAMN will continue the work that was previously associated with the AM Hub, which ran from 2018 to 2023. AAMN builds upon AM Hub, expanding both its reach and relevance. AMTIL members formerly involved in AM Hub are welcome to participate with AAMN.
AAMN exists to unite industry professionals, researchers, and government stakeholders to create a vibrant community focused on advancing additive manufacturing technologies. Through networking, knowledge sharing, and collaboration, AAMN aims to promote and support the adoption and development of additive manufacturing across key sectors, including aerospace/space, maritime, medical, construction, advanced automotive, mining, defence, and electrical infrastructure.
