Additive Manufacturing – Smarter, Faster, More Sustainable

At PTC (Produktionstekniskt Centrum), additive manufacturing empowers the creation of complex, high-performance parts with precision, speed, and minimal material waste. From functional prototypes to ready-to-use components, this technology is transforming how industries innovate and scale.

Additive manufacturing opens the door to remanufacturing, resilient supply chains, and resource-efficient production. By enabling local, on-demand manufacturing, it reduces lead times, lowers logistics costs, and minimizes environmental impact.

It’s not just about making things differently — it’s about building a smarter, more sustainable future.

From Local Experiment to Global Reference Point

PTC was founded in 2008 on a clear mission: to make high-end production technology available beyond the big players. Backed by Innovatum Science Park, Högskolan Väst, SAAB, and GKN Aerospace, we created an open arena for advanced manufacutring and industrial R&D. What started as a vision has now scaled into an engine for applied innovation, connecting startups, researchers, and international manufacturers in an open space.

An Innovative Platform for Focused Minds and Forward Motion

No one at PTC shows up expecting something – we show up to build. Big ideas move fast here because they’re met with the right people, tools, and mindset. Startups collide with global OEMs and researchers join forces with builders. Metal gets 3D printed, problems get solved, and ideas don’t wait for permission.
