Dyndrite and IAM3DHUB aim to scale metal 3D printing in Europe

Software provider Dyndrite and the International Advanced Manufacturing 3D Hub (IAM3DHUB), operated by the Spanish technology center Leitat, have signed a memorandum of understanding at the Formnext trade fair in Frankfurt. The document marks the formal start of a partnership under which Dyndrite is to join IAM3DHUB as a Technological Partner. The goal is to drive the adoption of metal 3D printing based on laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) in Spain and across Europe.

IAM3DHUB sees itself as a reference center for “test-before-invest” scenarios in which companies evaluate additive manufacturing before investing in equipment and processes. Dyndrite is contributing a software platform focused on GPU-accelerated computation, programmable build preparation, and vector-based control of exposure paths. The toolpaths are modeled not only as pixel grids but as vector data, enabling fine-grained control of laser power, scan strategies, and layer transitions. According to the company, the platform supports machines from various metal AM OEMs, addressing heterogeneous machine fleets in industry.

“I’m excited at the prospect of working with IAM3DHUB and the exceptional partner organizations it brings together,” said Stephen Anderson, Chief Commercial Officer of Dyndrite. “Their deep expertise across metal LPBF, materials, hardware, and applications perfectly complements Dyndrite’s mission to equip users with the advanced tools required to scale production-ready metal additive manufacturing. Together, we can help end-users make better parts faster, with OEM interoperability and novel qualification strategies that reduce time-to-market and drive down cost.”

Dyndrite is bringing existing integrations into the IAM3DHUB ecosystem. For Renishaw’s LPBF systems, Dyndrite LPBF Pro provides a dedicated build-preparation pipeline that works alongside existing tools such as QuantAM and Tempus. For users of HP’s Multi Jet Fusion systems, Dyndrite MJF Pro offers capabilities for industrial 3D nesting and serial print jobs. A Python API and a GPU engine also connect design tools such as ToffeeX directly to machine data, allowing optimization results to be transferred into build jobs without media discontinuities.

“Together, we can help users produce better parts faster while at the same time improving interoperability and qualification strategies,” says Stephen Anderson, Chief Commercial Officer at Dyndrite. For European users in metal 3D printing, the collaboration could above all mean that process chains, traceability, and qualification become more standardized – from topology optimization all the way to the approved build job.
