Who we are

Added Scientific are experts across polymer, metallic and multi-material 2D and 3D Printing, with particular expertise in material jetting, photo-polymerisation and powder-based technologies, alongside design optimisation, simulation and modelling capability.

Bringing Cutting-Edge Research to Additive Manufacturing

We support organisations wanting to explore the implementation of Additive Manufacturing and digital Printing for the production of their products, and hardware and materials vendors wanting to develop and commercialise their own printing materials and systems.

Our Expert Team

We are a highly-skilled, multi-disciplinary team of PhD and degree-level engineers and scientists, supported by a management team with a world-class portfolio and legacy in AM research. We are uniquely able to quickly understand our client's problems and cost-effectively find the most appropriate technical solutions, taking basic concepts through to the pre-commercialisation stage.
