Three companies working on 3D printed medical products have opened a shared Additive Manufacturing Hub in Munich. [**Munich Medical Devices**](https://munichmd.com/?ref=med-techinsights.com) (MMD), [**Spectroplast**](https://www.spectroplast.com/en?ref=med-techinsights.com) and [**FIDENTIS**](https://www.fidentis.de/?ref=med-techinsights.com) now share production, lab and office space at Flössergasse 2.

Their goal: to make Munich a leading location for additive manufacturing in medical technology. Around 80 guests attended the opening on Thursday, 22 October 2026, among them researchers from universities, physicians, investors and users of the three companies’ technologies.

After short addresses by the founders and tours of the production facilities, the evening was dedicated to networking. Clinicians met engineers, researchers met investors, and users discussed their applications directly with the people who develop the materials and processes. Many conversations turned into concrete ideas for joint projects. This is exactly the kind of exchange the hub is meant to enable every day.

“When we were looking for new premises, the question was: why do this alone? We work with different materials, but we face the same challenges, from quality systems and approvals to finding the right customers. A shared hub means shared infrastructure, shared knowledge and a shared network. The opening showed how much energy that creates,” says Dr. Stefan Leonhardt, co-founder and CEO of Munich Medical Devices, who brought the three companies together.

The three companies cover different materials and applications. MMD prints porous, bioactive PEEK implants that are metal-free and let surgeons follow bone healing on imaging, for both patient-specific and series devices. Spectroplast prints medical-grade silicone, producing soft, skin-friendly parts that until now could only be made by moulding. FIDENTIS, a spin-off of Fraunhofer IGCV, prints several metal alloys in a single part to produce dental prosthetics at scale.

Together they offer customers a broader range of materials and processes than any one company could alone. Sharing infrastructure also lowers costs and shortens the path from idea to approved product.

“Medical additive manufacturing is gaining real traction. With new materials and processes, more and more applications are becoming feasible. Here in Munich, PEEK, silicone and metal now come together under one roof. In practice, that means we solve regulatory questions together, learn from each other’s go-to-market experience and share best practices, so good ideas reach patients faster,” says Maximilian Eils, CEO of Spectroplast.

“For a young company like ours, working next to partners who share the same mission – bringing 3D-printed products to market – is invaluable. And the opening was only the start: by regularly inviting customers, clinics and universities into the hub, we want to drive the innovation our industry needs,” says Dr.-Ing. Max Horn, co-founder and managing director of FIDENTIS.

With its universities, research institutes and med-tech industry, Munich is a natural home for this cluster. The hub is open to further partners, research projects and customers who want to develop and manufacture 3D-printed medical products in the region.
