Additive-X is one of the UK's leading specialists in industrial and professional 3D printing, helping organisations adopt additive manufacturing to design faster, manufacture smarter and reduce dependence on traditional supply chains. Since 1988, we have supported everyone from innovative start-ups and universities to global manufacturers, defence organisations and OEMs with the technology, expertise and support needed to make additive manufacturing deliver real business value.

The rapid growth of uncrewed and autonomous systems is creating demand for lighter components, faster product development and more agile manufacturing. Whether you're developing UAVs, UGVs, marine systems or supporting equipment, additive manufacturing can dramatically reduce lead times while enabling designs that would be difficult or impossible using conventional manufacturing methods.

At Additive-X we help customers identify where 3D printing adds genuine value rather than simply selling hardware. Applications include rapid prototyping, flight-ready components, tooling, jigs and fixtures, production aids, replacement parts, low-volume manufacturing, customised enclosures, sensor mounts, aerodynamic components and composite tooling.

Our £1.5 million Technology Centre in Yorkshire showcases multiple additive manufacturing technologies, including filament, resin, powder-bed and continuous fibre reinforced 3D printing. Visitors can compare technologies side-by-side, examine hundreds of production parts and discuss real applications with experienced engineers and technical specialists.

We represent carefully selected industry-leading manufacturers including Formlabs, Markforged, Bambu Lab, Lynxter, Polymaker and AMT, allowing us to recommend the most appropriate solution for each application rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. From affordable desktop systems through to industrial production platforms, we support organisations throughout their additive manufacturing journey.

Our support extends far beyond supplying equipment. Additive-X provides application advice, training, technical support, repair services, service plans, materials, spare parts and workflow optimisation. For organisations that need parts rather than machines, our Digital Parts Factory offers an outsourced 3D printing service, producing prototype and production parts with rapid turnaround while allowing customers to evaluate applications before investing in equipment.

Whether you're reducing aircraft weight, accelerating development, producing tooling, manufacturing low-volume components or strengthening supply chain resilience, our experienced team works with you to understand your objectives and recommend practical, commercially viable additive manufacturing solutions.

Visit the Additive-X stand at DronExpo to discover how digital manufacturing can accelerate innovation across the uncrewed systems sector. Meet our team, discuss your application, bring along a component you'd like to improve, and explore how additive manufacturing can help you reduce costs, shorten development cycles and unlock new design possibilities.
