About Additive Manufacturing Technologies

Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) develops, and manufactures automated post-processing systems for the 3D printing industry. Founded in 2017 by Joseph Crabtree, the company is headquartered in Sheffield, UK, with additional offices in the US, Hungary, and Taiwan. Crabtree, who serves as CEO, holds a Master's degree in Material Sciences and Engineering and began his career in traditional manufacturing, holding roles at Arconic before founding AMT.

The company's core offering is its proprietary PostPro technology platform, a suite of hardware designed to automate the manual, costly, and time-consuming post-processing stages of additive manufacturing. This includes systems for depowdering, surface blasting, and chemical vapor smoothing of polymer 3D printed parts. The technology is compatible with over 95 thermoplastic polymers and is designed to work with all major 3D printing technologies. AMT's products aim to enable the transition of 3D printing from a prototyping tool to a viable technology for high-volume, end-use part production. The PostPro systems are certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and carry the CE mark, indicating compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards.

AMT's business model is focused on providing end-to-end automated solutions to unlock the potential of industrial-scale 3D printing. The company serves major contract manufacturing firms and has deployed its systems in over 150 locations across 25 countries. Since its inception, AMT has raised $25 million in funding through multiple rounds, including a Series B round that raised $15 million in October 2021. Key investors include Foresight Williams, DSM Venturing, and Mercia.
