Following its announcement of insolvency proceedings, Forward AM Technologies GmbH has officially shuttered its operations in the United States.

In a LinkedIn post, Jeremy Vos, Business Development Manager – Powderbed, Automotive and Aerospace stated that US-based customers will be served from the company’s German facilities. “[There is] potential to open back up in the US later in 2025,” he added.

Forward AM, the former Additive Manufacturing business of BASF, underwent a management buyout in July 2024. The acquisition included Forward AM’s materials and solutions, as well as its Sculpteo service business. The company offers a range of Ultrafuse metal filaments, including 17-4 PH and 316L stainless steels, for the Material Extrusion (MEX)-based Additive Manufacturing process Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF).
