Additive manufacturing enables the fabrication of three-dimensional structures directly from digital designs through layer-by-layer material deposition or polymerization. At PolyFabLab, additive manufacturing is primarily used for rapid prototyping, microfabrication, microfluidics, photonics, and advanced polymer device fabrication.

Currently, PolyFabLab offers two complementary additive manufacturing platforms:

'''Nanoscribe Quantum X align''' based on Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP) for ultra-high-resolution micro- and nanofabrication. [https://labadviser.nanolab.dtu.dk/index.php?title=Specific_Process_Knowledge/Polymer_Processing/Additive_methods/Quantum_X_2PP Quantum X 2PP]

'''Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) microArch''' series based on Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) for high-precision microscale 3D printing with larger build volumes and higher throughput. [https://labadviser.nanolab.dtu.dk/index.php?title=Specific_Process_Knowledge/Polymer_Processing/Additive_methods/3D_Printer_-_BMF 3D Printer - BMF]

The choice of equipment depends on the required feature size, build volume, material requirements, throughput, and alignment needs.
