Why this company matters

AddUp was founded in 2016 as a joint venture between Michelin and Fives, combining materials science with industrial engineering to produce metal additive manufacturing systems. The company offers both Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technologies through its FormUp and BeAM machine series, including the large-format MASSIF project with a 750 mm x 750 mm x 1 m build volume.

The company's open-architecture systems give users flexibility in process parameters and material selection, targeting sectors such as aerospace, defense, medical, and automotive. Notable customers include SOGECLAIR and Sirius Space Services, the latter using two FormUp 350 machines for launcher component production. AddUp also formed the PrintSky joint venture with SOGECLAIR to expand service capabilities.

AddUp differentiates through its multi-technology approach and industrial-grade focus, becoming the first OEM to earn ASTM Additive Manufacturing Safety Certification. Its dual backing from Michelin and Fives provides a strong foundation for R&D and scaling, though it faces competition from other metal AM hardware makers such as ExOne and Sciaky. Revenue is reported at $48 million, with a team of 201–500 employees and headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
