AddLab started in 2013 as a metal3D printingof shared research and production facilities.Metals based in Eindhoven3D printingMachine manufacturer Additive Industries is its organizational partner. Other partners include KMWE, NTS Group, Frencken Europe, Machinefabriek De Valk, FMI, MTA, Philips Innovation Services, Kaak Group, Brainport Industries, De Lage Landen and SRE.
In 2016, AddLab planned to become AddFab under the supervision of KMWE, NTS Group and Machinefabriek De Valk, with some other partners investing in in-house facilities such as bakery equipment manufacturer Kaak Group, who purchased two MetalFAB1s 3D printingmachine.
K3D has now been named an organizational partner of K3D-AddFab and currently has a metal printing technology center near Eindhoven3D printingfacility.
To support K3D-AddFab, Additive Industries will provide research and technical support. In addition, another MetalFAB1 system will be installed at the high-tech innovation center at Brainport Industries Campus in Eindhoven, led by KMWE CEO Edward Voncken.
Jan-Cees Santema, European Sales Director of Additive Industries, said: “For us, the K3D-AddFab will be a test bed for distributed manufacturing in demanding markets, as well as an additional training and demonstration center near our headquarters.”

At K3D’s printing technology center, five Dutch companies are currently benefiting from metal3D printingfacility. Bronkhorst is a manufacturer of flow meters and controllers, Copal is a manufacturer of unloading and palletizing systems, Hittech Group is a metal specialist and supplier of high-tech systems, Van Raam is a manufacturer of special needs bicycles, and Royal Eijkelkamp is a soil and water research company.
K3D-AddFab will be the second under K3D management3D printingfacility. Luuk Wissink, CEO of K3D, said: “We are proud to take our unique collaboration in the field of industrial additive manufacturing to the next stage and expand to the mass production of high-tech equipment parts and aerospace components. The K3D-AddFab team will be K3D 3D printingAn integral part of the central network that enables load balancing, quantity sharing and material pooling. “
