AMCM Opens Large-Format Metal AM Assembly Facility in Weilheim

AMCM, the custom metal 3D printing subsidiary of EOS GmbH, officially opened a new assembly facility in Weilheim, Germany on August 1, 2026. Built in partnership with the Bauer Group, the site lets AMCM assemble multiple large-format metal systems side by side, a setup the company says was necessary to keep up with demand.

The new hall sits next to AMCM's headquarters in Starnberg and is equipped with a 10-metric-ton crane spanning 25 meters, plus a 5-metric-ton crane for logistics and commissioning work. The facility is designed to handle the AMCM M 450, AMCM M 4K, and AMCM M 8K systems, along with larger machines still in development.

The AMCM M 8K is the headline system here. Its build volume reaches 800 x 800 x 1,200 mm, and the machine can produce parts up to 1.6 meters tall in a single print. Those dimensions matter for customers building rocket components, heat exchangers, power generation hardware, and other complex metal parts that are difficult or impossible to make conventionally.

AMCM Managing Director Martin Bullemer called the facility an important milestone in the company's growth strategy, saying the extra capacity and efficient production environment will let AMCM meet demand for its systems sustainably. The project moved from letter of intent to completion in roughly two years, with Bauer Group delivering on schedule.

The expansion comes amid a broader push for large-format metal additive manufacturing across Europe and beyond. Earlier this week, India-based iAM3D unveiled its own 2.5-meter-build-envelope LPW Z2500 system, and manufacturers in aerospace, energy, and defense continue to sign orders for machines that can replace assemblies with single printed structures.
