Added to Launch JetForge Platform at Formnext
The modular materials-deposition system will debut in Go and Core configurations at the Formnext trade show.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Semiconductors
Added, formerly known as Added Scientific, will launch the JetForge open and modular materials-deposition platform at Formnext later this month. JetForge Go and JetForge Core variants will be introduced, with JetForge Core premiering on Added's stand.
Why it matters
JetForge was developed because Added could not find the capability and flexibility required to deliver its contract research clients' projects. The modular design is built to support 2D and 3D inkjet and related deposition methods for customers working across varied materials.
JetForge Core supports up to six materials in one build or four printheads with planarisation and curing modules, versus two Blades on JetForge Go. Each Blade houses printheads or valves plus drive electronics, fluid management, material supply and controls, but independent performance validation has not been reported.
The players
Added
Added, formerly known as Added Scientific, is a company that develops materials-deposition systems and provides contract research services.
The details
JetForge is built around a Blade architecture in which each self-contained module incorporates printing and peripheral devices that operate independently over common connections. Materials or printheads can be changed by swapping a Blade, and Blades mount the same way in both the Go and Core versions.
Timeline
Later this month: Added launches JetForge at Formnext, with JetForge Core premiering on its stand.
The Tech Race
JetForge extends the inkjet printhead-based deposition approach used in 2D and 3D printing by packaging printheads, valves, and paste extruders into swappable modular Blades. The design positions Added to compete on flexibility, since Blades can be exchanged to change materials or printheads without rebuilding the platform.
Engineers and manufacturers evaluating deposition hardware can compare the Go and Core configurations based on the number of Blades and supported materials or printheads. Swappable Blades may simplify changing materials or printheads within a single system, though pricing and availability are not stated in the source.
The takeaway
Modular, swappable hardware modules are a practical way for equipment makers to serve varied customer materials without building separate machines. Buyers should weigh configuration counts and material support against their own project requirements once independent specifications are available.
