DFactory Barcelona, the internationally renowned Industry 4.0 ecosystem promoted by the Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona (CZFB), will host the first edition of the Global AM Hubs Summit from September 16 to 18, the major international forum and meeting point for Additive Manufacturing in Europe. This pioneering international event will bring together key leaders, organizations, hubs, associations, and entities from the Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) ecosystem, as well as numerous technology providers from across the additive manufacturing value chain.

The Global AM Hubs Summit, supported by CZFB as the institutional partner of the event, will mark the official launch of Addliance, the new European alliance of 3D printing hubs. Addliance aims to establish a stable and collaborative international framework to promote the adoption of these technologies and is driven by sectoral entities, organizations, and institutions from across Europe.

The Global AM Hubs Summit will be a milestone event, bringing together for the first time more than 20 additive manufacturing hubs and organizations from across Europe, along with industrial leaders, experts, sectoral associations, universities, and institutional representatives leading the transformation of advanced manufacturing. This first edition will feature a comprehensive approach focused on people, planet, and prosperity, addressing key topics such as the impact of additive manufacturing in various sectors (healthcare, mobility, defense, sustainability…), the development of talent and specialized training, cross-border cooperation, and the role of additive technologies in Europe’s industrial resilience and competitiveness.

The Special State Delegate at the Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona (CZFB), Pere Navarro, stated: “We are very pleased that DFactory Barcelona will be the meeting place for this first gathering and important international forum that will bring together the main 3D printing and additive manufacturing ecosystems in Europe. This is a historic milestone that will allow, through public-private partnerships, the projection of a shared vision of the transformative role of additive technologies in industry, and all of this will take place in Barcelona, specifically at DFactory.”

Meanwhile, Blanca Sorigué, General Director of CZFB, added: “Hosting such an important international event as the Global AM Hubs Summit reaffirms DFactory Barcelona as the leading Industry 4.0 ecosystem in Europe and the cathedral of digital transformation in industry.”

The Global AM Hubs Summit will feature a full program of conferences including panel discussions, roundtables, and presentations, as well as live demonstrations and hands-on experiences to explore the potential of additive technologies. It will also include an Application & Technology Showroom at DFactory Barcelona, where leading companies in the sector will showcase their solutions, materials, software, demonstrations, and real success stories of AM applications in various fields.
