Let’s Be Different

At Atomik AM, we think differently—and more importantly, we do things differently. We’ve ripped up the manufacturing rulebook to adopt a solutions-focused approach to advanced manufacturing that prioritises sustainability, innovation, and tailored results. Our philosophy is simple: putting materials first allows us to make sustainable choices that not only solve immediate problems but also consider the long-term needs of your business and the broader advanced manufacturing ecosystem.

We’re not just about powders, binders, and inks—though we love to talk about those! We are committed to delivering innovation that goes beyond the obvious, with a multi-disciplinary team that works hand-in-hand with you, whether you’re starting with a rough idea or need a partner for a fully scoped project.

Our team’s diverse expertise, coupled with our solutions-focused approach, means we don’t just solve problems, we create opportunities.
