Members are a critical component of our vision.

I continue to see America Makes as a vital institution in the U.S., enabling coordination and collaboration in the challenging – and rapidly changing – TRL 4-7 space required to move AM into the products around us. Rather than companies developing the technology individually, teams are innovating together, learning together, and strengthening our nation’s manufacturing capability while developing technologies that can be shared and adopted by other companies.

Participating in several initiatives within the EWD portfolio at America Makes is a great opportunity to discuss the overall AM body of knowledge and determine what concepts are best across a wide variety of levels of education. Leveraging the many EWD existing resources will allow us to focus our projects on building new tools and expanding the pipeline for a highly skilled workforce poised to strengthen the U.S. additive manufacturing industry.

Working with America Makes and its membership has provided Open Additive with broad exposure to industry and industry challenges, and in some cases enabled us to mature and transition technologies that otherwise would not have been possible. We certainly look forward to future projects and partnerships with America Makes and its members.
