Kicking off, French industrial 3D printer manufacturerProdwayshas expanded its reseller footprint through new regional partnerships in South Africa, India, and Europe, alongside inclusion inBusiness Franceand recognition under the “France 2030 Team Export” program. South Africa distribution runs throughAMT 3D, described as a regional distributor of 3D printing solutions, which will resellCERAM PROceramic 3D printing systems with local training and technical support.
India expansion comes viaLodestar3D, characterized as a provider of advanced manufacturing solutions, which will distributeMOVINGLight DLPsystems with installation, training, and application guidance. In Europe, Prodways has partnered withRed Resinsto support adoption of CERAM PRO platforms, positioning the partner as a regional support structure for ceramic additive manufacturing deployments.
Separately, Chinese industrial metal and polymer additive manufacturing systems manufacturerFarsoon Technologieshas entered a distribution partnership with South African industrial 3D printing providerAddimaxto expand access to laser powder bed fusion technologies across Sub-Saharan Africa. Under the agreement, Addimax will distribute Farsoon’s metal and polymer LPBF systems, materials, and associated part production services, aligning Farsoon’s industrial platforms with local training, application support, and in-region technical services for customers in sectors such as aerospace, mining, and automotive manufacturing.
A new additive manufacturing demonstration center opened in Pretoria in January 2026, equipped with Farsoon’sFlight 403P-2dual-laser Fiber-light selective laser sintering system. “We are excited to enter this partnership with Addimax to bring world-class industrial 3D printing solutions to South Africa’s thriving market,” said Vince Zhao, Director of Business Development – AMEA at Farsoon Technologies, adding that Addimax’s local expertise positions it to deliver serial production solutions in key growth sectors. Addimax CEO Marius Vermeulen said, “This partnership marks a significant milestone for Addimax as we bring Farsoon’s high-performance, open-platform 3D printing solutions to South Africa,” noting the facility also showcases equipment from Aditiv Solutions. Financial terms and exclusivity details were not disclosed.
