Amarea’s MMJ ProX-Series secures TCT Award 2026
Amarea Technology GmbH, Dresden, Germany, has received the TCT Award 2026 in the Hardware – Non-Polymer Systems category at RAPID + TCT, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, for its MMJ ProX-Series Additive Manufacturing machine.
The MMJ ProX-Series is a multi-material machine designed for the production of high-performance components in metals, ceramics, glasses and composite materials. The award recognises innovation with demonstrated industrial relevance and highlights the potential of Molten Metal Jetting (MMJ) Additive Manufacturing technology for the production of complex, functionally integrated components.
The MMJ ProX-Series is based on a drop-on-demand material jetting process, in which highly filled feedstocks containing metal, ceramic or composite powders are selectively deposited layer by layer, in line with established Additive Manufacturing principles. Amarea’s machine enables the combination of up to six materials within a single component, both within individual layers and across layers, allowing the production of functional gradients, integrated features and complex internal geometries. Material deposition is controlled at the droplet level to ensure high precision.
“The TCT Award is a strong validation of our technological approach and the work of our entire team,” stated Steven Weingarten, CEO of Amarea. “We see this as an important step in bringing multi-material 3D printing from niche applications into industrial use, while strengthening our international visibility and positioning high-tech ‘Made in Germany’ on a global level.”

The MMJ ProX-Series has been developed in collaboration with partners including Fraunhofer IKTS, Dresden, where the underlying MMJ technology originated, and esmo AG, which supports mechanical integration and system manufacturing. These partnerships contribute to the scalability and industrial maturity of the technology.
The company stated that its machine enables applications across sectors including medical technology, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, jewellery and precision instrumentation. By combining multiple materials within a single build process, the technology may enable the production of functionalised components with enhanced performance, while optimising material usage through selective deposition.
