The new AMCM M 8K platform, engineered from scratch

When we launched the M 8K project, it was clear: existing solutions couldn’t meet the demands of large-format AM. Scaling up conventional systems wasn’t enough - we needed a fresh approach.

That’s why we engineered a brand-new platform from the ground up, purpose-built for large-scale powder bed printing. It’s not just bigger - it’s smarter, stronger, and ready for what’s next.

The first model offers a build volume of 820 × 820 × 1,200 mm.

The next M 8K offers a z-heights of 1,600 mm and beyond.

Full Customization – Our Process

Sketch of the AMCM M 8K

1. Application

Every project begins with understanding your application - whether it's material development or part production, we focus on what drives and defines your needs.

2. Requirements

With the goal defined, we establish clear specifications - outlining must-haves, nice-to-haves, and success criteria to shape the project.

3. Analysis

With clear requirements, our engineers dive into analysis - exploring solutions, estimating costs, reviewing timelines, and defining development paths.

4. Concept

Based on our analysis, we propose the best-fit machine concept - along with timeline and costs - to align on the final development plan together.

5. Product

With planning complete, development begins - your custom machine is built to the agreed specs, timeline, and budget.
