Industrial 3D printing, open to all.

AM4P is a UK-based additive manufacturing partner – connecting British universities, engineering firms, and production studios with world-class industrial AM systems and production capability.

Why AM4P

Industrial additive manufacturing has matured. The processes are proven, the materials are established, and the applications span aerospace, automotive, medical, and beyond.

But access has been concentrated. Until recently, industrial metal AM and large-format polymer systems have sat within reach of a relatively small group of high-end engineering organisations. For the majority of UK universities, SMEs, and manufacturers, the technology has remained something to outsource or aspire to – not to own.

AM4P is here to broaden that picture. We partner with one of Asia’s most established AM producers to bring industrial-grade SLM and FGF systems to UK organisations ready to bring additive manufacturing in-house.

Stuart Jackson, AM4P Founder

32 years in additive manufacturing, spanning senior leadership and technical roles with some of the industry's most established names.

I’ve spent three decades working with industrial AM systems from the biggest names in the industry. When I first visited Kings’ facilities in Shenzhen, I went looking for reasons to say no. I tested their machines, interrogated their engineering, and examined their production processes against the standards I’d held suppliers to throughout my career. What I found was serious capability – well-engineered systems, a mature production operation, and a team that understood what industrial customers actually need. That’s why I’m putting my name behind this.
