Added to launch JetForge, a modular inkjet research platform, at Formnext
Self-contained Blade modules carry printheads, valves, extruders, curing and sintering functions across an entry-level Go and a six-slot Core.
What happened
Added, the University of Nottingham spin-out formerly known as Added Scientific, announced on November 3 that it will launch the JetForge open, modular materials-deposition platform at Formnext 2026. The architecture is built on Blade modules: self-contained units carrying inkjet printheads, high-viscosity jetting valves or paste extruders, or functions such as curing, sintering, recoating and drop-watching. Inkjet Blades include their own drive electronics, fluid management and controls.
JetForge Go is the entry-level system with up to two Blades for early-stage jetting and formulation work. JetForge Core takes up to six Blades, supporting up to six materials in one build, or four printheads plus planarization and curing modules for 3D builds. Most Blades transfer between the two machines and can be bought separately, and the company says there are no paid upgrades or locked features.
Material classes cited include polymers, composites, conductive, dielectric, bio- and magnetic materials. Pricing, shipping dates, supported printhead brands and build area are not stated.
