About AMPulse

Frequently asked questions

Who is AMPulse built for?
AMPulse is built for AM companies and startups, venture capital and corporate development teams, and industry researchers and analysts who need AM-native intelligence rather than generalist startup data filtered for 3D printing. Typical users find competitors, source deals by process category, monitor supply chains, or build investment memos and industry reports.
How is AMPulse different from generalist startup databases?
Generalist databases are useful for broad company discovery, but they typically do not model additive manufacturing at process depth. AMPulse uses the ISO/ASTM 52900 taxonomy when available data supports a process assignment (6 technology groups and 37 process codes such as Metal AM:PBF-LB), researches CJK markets in native languages, and connects company conclusions to AM-specific evidence, confidence, freshness, and sources.
How does AMPulse work with industry media and market news?
Industry media is essential for showing what is happening across additive manufacturing. AMPulse links those developments to company data, AM taxonomy, market analytics, and earlier activity so the information becomes easier to search, compare, and monitor.
How does AMPulse produce company analysis?
AMPulse reviews public company evidence against an internal AM-specific rubric calibrated for hardware capital intensity, qualification cycles, and multi-step value chains. The public analysis presents a qualitative thesis with confidence, evidence freshness, supporting sources, risks, and open questions. It does not publish a company score or grade.
How often is the data updated?
New companies and funding rounds are added continuously. Core company profiles are re-enriched on a rolling schedule as new public information surfaces, and news is ingested daily from English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese AM trade publications.
Does AMPulse cover Asian AM markets?
Yes. AMPulse searches Chinese, Korean, and Japanese sources in native languages and includes regional AM trade publications that English-only databases do not index. Asian AM companies hold a material share of global hardware, materials, and service capacity.
Can I access AMPulse for free?
Yes. Browsing the company directory, category hubs, news feed, and individual company profiles is free and requires no signup. Premium features like saved bookmarks and DNA Match are gated behind a free account.
