What is the size of the additive manufacturing industry? What is the projected growth? What industries are adopting the technology? This talk answered these questions and more and provided information about the major players and industry trends. From the 2013 Taking Shape Summit: Additive Manufacturing: 3D Printing--Beyond Rapid Prototyping.

“I’m not saying that 25% of all parts will be
3D printed, but that 3D printing will touch
it in some way,” Christine Furstoss, GE’s
technical director of manufacturing and
materials technologies.
“Maybe it’s the tool that we are using or
the early prototypes we make. We are
committed to driving it into as many areas
as we can.”

11. Presidential Focus
• National Network for Manufacturing Innovation
• Seeking $1B in funding support from Congress
• National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute
• First pilot NNMI institute
• NAMII’s singular focus is to accelerate and integrate additive
manufacturing technologies to the US manufacturing sector
and increase domestic manufacturing competitiveness by:
• Fostering a highly collaborative infrastructure for the
open exchange of additive manufacturing information and
advanced research
• Facilitating the development, evaluation, and deployment
of efficient and flexible additive manufacturing
technologies
• Educating students and training workers in additive
manufacturing technologies to create an adaptive,
leading workforce

12. Additive Manufacturing Standards
• ASTM International Committee F42 on Additive
Manufacturing Technologies
• In partnership with SME
• Subcommittees
• Test methods
• Design
• Material and Processes
• Terminology
• NIST and ISO also in the “loop”
