Company profile
researched Sep 2026Fieldmade AS is an Oslo-headquartered additive manufacturing company that develops, produces and sells integrated 3D-printing solutions for deployed military use and for industrial operators working far from conventional supply chains. Its offering combines technical expertise in part design and digitization with production capacity delivered both in-house and through mobile units, covering metal, polymer and composite printing.
The flagship NOMAD Series is a family of deployable microfactories housed in ISO/CSC-certified 20-foot shipping containers. Each unit is self-sustained and climate-controlled, with vibration-damped printer bases and integrated quality assurance tooling, and is certified for transport by air, sea or land. The series supports multiple processes — laser powder bed fusion, direct energy deposition, VAT polymerization and material extrusion — across tool steel, Inconel and other alloys as well as polymers and composites. NOMAD-03 is a variant focused on laser powder bed fusion of aluminium, developed with powder supplier Equispheres using non-explosive NExP-1 aluminium powder certified under ASTM E1226 to allow safe transport and field operation; it was in final verification testing as of April 2025 with commercial availability targeted for mid-2025.
Alongside the hardware, Fieldmade operates a digital inventory platform (described as Fieldnode) that connects IP holders, manufacturers, procurement teams and supply chain operators. Parts are held as validated print files rather than physical stock and can be produced on demand at the nearest NOMAD unit, reducing the need to warehouse low-turnover spares. The company frames its system across strategic (safe-zone industrial production), tactical (deployment near the front line) and operational (frontline measurement, assessment and repair) levels, with data and print files flowing between them.
Founding story
Fieldmade was founded in 2016 by Christian Duun Norberg as a spin-out from FFI, the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, in Kjeller, initially focused on deployable additive manufacturing for military logistics.
Business model
B2B supplier of additive manufacturing hardware, services and software: the company sells services, parts and equipment, including NOMAD mobile manufacturing units, alongside design and digitization expertise and a subscription-style digital inventory platform used by IP holders, government entities and system users.
Revenue is derived from delivering additive manufacturing services, produced parts and equipment (NOMAD units) to industrial and defence customers, and from a digital platform on which validated part files are managed and produced on demand.
Traction
The Norwegian Armed Forces were among the first to validate the technology, and NOMAD units have been deployed during multiple NATO exercises and in several European countries. The company reports thousands of parts produced on active shipbuilding projects and use of its digital platform by several leading energy companies. Its technology has been shaped by direct experience from the war in Ukraine. In 2020 Fieldmade and Equinor were recognised with an Innovation Leader's Impact Award for best new initiative for their joint digital inventory project.
Latest developments
Announcement of the NOMAD-03 aluminium laser powder bed fusion system with Equispheres in April 2025, targeted for commercial availability mid-2025; participation in NATO's DIANA accelerator; presentation to the Spanish Armed Forces at AM Village 2026 with a subsequent live demonstration in Germany; and ongoing work in an EU-funded initiative on AI-based quality assurance for additive manufacturing.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history
Market position
Positioned as a dual-use supplier combining mobile hardware and digital inventory software for both defence and energy customers; the company states that its integrated NOMAD-plus-Fieldnode capability is not matched by other market offerings. It is an active member of the NATO DIANA accelerator for critical and emerging technologies.
Combination of certified, transportable container-based production units with a networked digital parts inventory, enabling on-demand manufacturing at the point of need with documentation and certification processes intended to match a permanent industrial facility; dual-use applicability across defence and civilian energy operations.
Technology
Industrial additive manufacturing packaged into ISO/CSC-certified shipping containers with climate control, vibration-damped printer bases and integrated quality assurance tooling. Supported processes include laser powder bed fusion, direct energy deposition, VAT polymerization and material extrusion, in tool steel, Inconel and other alloys as well as polymers and composites. The Fieldnode software layer maintains a live inventory of production-ready part files transferable between NOMAD units. The NOMAD-03 variant uses Equispheres' non-explosive NExP-1 aluminium powder certified to ASTM E1226. The company is also participating in an EU-funded initiative applying artificial intelligence to quality verification in additive manufacturing.
Go-to-market
Direct engagement with defence and industrial customers, supported by partnerships with technology and material suppliers (Equispheres, 1000 Kelvin), participation in accelerator and innovation programmes (Equinor & Techstars Energy Accelerator, NATO DIANA), and demonstrations at defence events such as the Military Additive Manufacturing summit and AM Village 2026, where the system was presented to the Spanish Armed Forces followed by a live demonstration in Germany.
Armed forces and defence organisations, government entities, oil and gas and offshore energy operators, shipbuilders, IP holders and system users in industries where part availability and turnaround time are critical.
Geography
Headquartered in Oslo, Norway (Ole Deviks Vei 14B), with locations associated in Kjeller and Lillestrøm. NOMAD units have been deployed in multiple European countries, including a live demonstration in Germany, and the company references operations in the North Sea and conflict zones including Ukraine.
History
After its 2016 spin-out from FFI, Fieldmade completed the Equinor & Techstars Energy Accelerator in Oslo in 2019, opening expansion into the oil and gas sector. In 2020 the company was recognised alongside Equinor with an Innovation Leader's Impact Award for the joint digital inventory project. In January 2024 it announced a technology partnership with 1000 Kelvin at the Military Additive Manufacturing summit in Florida, integrating the AMAIZE process optimisation software with NOMAD microfactories. In April 2025 it announced the NOMAD-03 aluminium laser powder bed fusion system with Equispheres.
