Design · Materials · Software · Production
Four pillars of the event.
The ecosystem is growing fast, but we’re still isolated.
We see incredible pockets of innovation in robotic AM, but very little cross-pollination. Everyone is reinventing the same wheels, solving the same toolpath issues, and hitting the same material constraints in silence.
This is the tension that makes the event necessary.
Workflows are fragile. Knowledge is scattered.
There are no standards yet. Designers don't know the machine limits. Integrators don't know the design intent. Handovers are messy, and "it works on my machine" is the industry standard.
- Fragile data chains
- Missing shared references
- Isolated success stories
Share best practices so we can build faster, together.
Our goal is to establish a higher baseline for everyone. If we share the "boring" parts—workflow, safety, data structure—we can all focus on the interesting parts: design and application.
Open Knowledge
We prioritize speakers who open-source their findings over those who protect their IP.
Idea → Print.
The handovers are the story.
We zoom in on the handovers. What data is lost? What assumptions are made? How do we validate geometry before it hits the slicer?
Design is the lever.
Shit in is shit out.
Design choices decide everything downstream. If the geometry isn't rationalized for layer deposition, the best robot in the world can't save it. We bridge the gap between "design intent" and "production reality."
Who’s in the room.
Practitioners, plus serious adopters who want to learn properly. We explicitly welcome architects and interior designers—but you have to be ready for the real talk, not the sales pitch.
Event Schedule
The full program was built around two questions: what works now, and what needs to change next?

How we keep it real.
No Stage Selling
Contribution over promotion. Leave the pitch deck at home.
Community First
We are here to build the network, not just exchange business cards.
Radical Integrity
Share the failures too. We learn more when things break.
What we go deep on.
We touch every part of the chain, but always tied back to workflow.
Where it happens.
AM Campus MRA
Amsterdam Region
Real machines, real constraints. We are on the factory floor, not in a hotel ballroom.
Practical Information
- •From Schiphol Airport: Direct train connection to Haarlem Spaarnwoude station (approx. 15 minutes). The venue is a short walk from the station.
- •Hotels: We recommend booking accommodation in Haarlem city center for easy access to the venue and evening networking dinners.
- •Parking: Free on-site parking is available for attendees traveling by car.
Open Call 2027.
The 2026 agenda is full, but the conversation continues.
Due to overwhelming response, our speaker slots for this year are completely full. However, we are already accepting proposals for 2027. We value process over polish. If you have a real story about a workflow breakthrough (or disaster), we want to hear it.
